Looks to establish role in offense Fort is a candidate to win the Broncos' third tight end spot, Cody Roark of 9 News Denver reports.

Impact Fort now has a clean bill of health after recovering from knee injuries suffered in both of the last two preseasons. The 26-year-old is currently behind starter Noah Fant and backup Albert Okwuegbunam in the pecking order at tight end, so he'll realistically be competing for the No. 3 role with Andrew Beck, Shaun Beyer and Eric Saubert. If Fort ends up as the team's third tight end, he would likely need an injury or absence on the part of either Fant or Okwuegbunam to be considered close to the fantasy radar. In such a scenario, Fort's skills as a blocker and receiver could help him to establish a role in Denver's offense.

Heading to IR The Broncos will place Fort (knee) on injured reserve, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Fort is still working his way back from the torn ACL that caused him to miss the entire 2019 campaign. Klis seems to imply that the Broncos will wait until after Saturday's cut deadline to place Fort on injured reserve, in which case he won't be subjected to waivers and will leave the door open for a potential 2020 return.
