ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The loss of third-round pick Jeff Heuerman to a torn anterior cruciate ligament dealt a blow to the Broncos' tight end depth. But with Owen Daniels, Virgil Green and James Casey leading the complement, the Broncos still appear to be in reliable hands as they reconstruct their tight end corps.
Daniels and Green appear locked in on the top two spots, and depending on the frequency at which the Broncos use certain personnel groups, could both end up with play counts that reflect being starters.
