Yes, every team has injuries. Broncos have strong case for having way more than most. Total IR at 13 players, now nearing $45 million. #9sports

A hyped-up prospect whose draft stock skyrocketed at the NFL combine, Okwuegbunam stepped in and saw his first NFL action in Week 7.

He racked up 14 targets across his first three games before exiting with the injury in his fourth game on Sunday against the Falcons.

The 22-year-old wasn't seeing a ton of playing time, but in his absence, expect Nick Vannett to get a bit more work as the Broncos No. 2 tight end behind Noah Fant.

As injuries continue to pile up, FanDuel Sportsbook's NFL futures odds have the Broncos more likely to somehow land Trevor Lawrence (+1500) than to win the AFC Championship (+21000).
