Kendall Hinton - Hits pay dirt in loss Hinton secured two of his three targets for 25 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Steelers. Impact Hinton played on 65 percent of Denver's offensive snaps Sunday, his highest mark of the season. The wideout's two-yard touchdown grab was his first of the 2021 campaign. The uptick in Hinton's snaps is a direct result of the injury issues plaguing the Broncos' receiving corps, headlined by Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (knee). With Jeudy scheduled to make his return from an ankle injury in the coming weeks, Hinton likely will see a reduction in his playing time. The 24-year-old will be tough to trust going forward based on his sporadic usage. If Jeudy does not return Week 7, it's possible that Hinton could have similar involvement in the Broncos' aerial attack when the team hosts the Raiders.
