DENVER BRONCOS NEWS

Eric Saubert - Catches three passes in loss Saubert secured three of his five targets for 23 yards in Sunday's loss to the Raiders.

Impact With Albert Okwuegbunam (hamstring) placed on IR, Saubert saw his first action as Denver's No. 2 tight end. Unfortunately, that didn't equate to much in the way of production behind starter Noah Fant. Saubert played on just 35 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps. With Okwuegbunam sidelined, Saubert will likely continue to see increased playing time behind Fant, but he will remain far off the fantasy radar with so many mouths to feed in the Denver passing attack. Up next for the Broncos is a Thursday night showdown with the Browns in Week 7.

Kendall Hinton - Catches five passes Hinton caught all five of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Hinton had a relatively quiet outing on a day when the Broncos trailed the Raiders for the majority of the contest. The 24-year-old remained the third wideout in the pecking order behind Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick, playing on 63 percent of Denver's offensive snaps. With fellow receiver Jerry Jeudy set to make his return to field in the near future, Hinton's chances for fantasy production may be coming to an end soon. Next up for the Broncos is a matchup with the Browns on Thursday night.

Mike Boone - Limited role in season debut Boone caught his only target for three yards while failing to record a single rushing attempt in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Raiders

Impact Boone made his season debut Sunday, but veteran only managed to play on six of the teams 81 offensive snaps. The running back did, however, play on 61 percent of Denver's special teams plays. Boone is buried on the Broncos' depth chart behind both Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams, as the two are splitting time almost evenly. The 26-year-old speedster will likely continue to see limited snaps on offense barring an injury to either Gordon or Williams. Nonetheless, Boone will have a chance to see the field in some capacity again when the Broncos visit the Browns on Thursday night.

Melvin Gordon III - Limited on practice estimate Denver lists Gordon (hip) as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact For the second week in a row, Gordon is appearing on the Broncos' practice report with a hip issue after rib and lower leg injuries previously cost him practice time in late September and early October. Gordon ended up carrying a questionable designation into Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Raiders, but he saw a normal snap share (53 percent) and averaged a healthy 5.0 yards per carry on 10 totes while adding three receptions for 23 yards. Because he's at least opening Week 7 as a limited participant on the Broncos' report, Gordon will more than likely be ready to play Thursday in Cleveland, though it's possible he once again takes a designation into the contest.

Noah Fant - Limited on Week 7 practice report Denver lists Fant as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report due to a foot injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Fant feasted in garbage time of Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Raiders, with much of his 9-97-1 stat line on a season-high 11 targets coming in the second half, when the Broncos were forced to lean heavily on the passing game. The tight end looks like he may have hurt his foot at some point along the way, but the fact that he's being listed as limited on the Broncos' first Week 7 injury report suggests he's on a path to play Thursday in Cleveland.

Teddy Bridgewater - Bothered by foot injury Denver lists Bridgewater as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report with a foot issue, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Bridgewater may not be 100 percent following Sunday's loss to the Raiders, but so long as he at least maintains limited listings on the Broncos' next two practice reports, he should be ready to go for a Thursday night matchup with the Browns in Week 7. The signal-caller benefited from a negative game script versus Las Vegas to produce one of his best lines of the season (35-for-49 for 334 yards and three touchdowns), though he committed four turnovers (three interceptions, one lost fumble) in the 34-24 loss.

Baron Browning - Ruled out for Week 7 Browning (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Browns, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Browning exited Sunday's loss to the Raiders with a concussion, and he'll be unable to play following Denver's short week of practice. The 22-year-old has played mainly on special teams this year, so his absence shouldn't significantly impact the team's defensive plans.

OCTOBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jerry Jeudy - Iffy for Week 7 Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Jeudy (ankle) has less than a 50 percent chance to suit up for Thursday's game against the Browns, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Fangio did say, however, that Jeudy will resume running routes at full speed this week, so it seems that the second-year pro continues to progress in the right direction. Jeudy has yet to be activated back to the active roster, and his status will need to be monitored as Thursday's road contest approaches. Tim Patrick once again will operate as the No. 2 option in Denver's wide receiver corps if Jeudy can't go.
