Ready or not, Broncos need rookie Noah Fant to lift his game

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos officially need tight ends. It’s why rookie tight end Noah Fant, if he wasn’t already, really needs to be on the fast track now as injuries have rocked the position.

“Invariably, every camp, there is one position group that kind of gets [injured] more than others,” said Broncos coach Vic Fangio. “Tight end has been that position in this camp. ... It’s a concern. ... We just got to trek through it.”

Jake Butt, Jeff Heuerman, Troy Fumagalli and rookie Bug Howard have each missed time in training camp with injuries.
