Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt tore his left ACL during a walkthrough practice Thursday and is headed for injured reserve for the second straight season.Butt spent his rookie season last year on IR while recovering from the same injury to his other knee.“Jake has worked his tail off to recover from his previous injuries Courtland Sutton Jersey White , and we feel terrible for him,” coach Vance Joseph said in a statement after an MRI confirmed the team’s fears .“He’s a great kid who’s developed into a very good football player. We have no doubt Jake will come back stronger than ever,” Joseph added.So, the Broncos (2-1), who host Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs (3-0) Monday night, find themselves waiting for Butt to get healthy once again.Butt had eight catches for 85 yards this season in his comeback from his last knee injury. He also tore his right ACL in spring drills as a sophomore at Michigan.That medical history helped drive his draft stock down last year Joe Flacco Jersey , making him the forgotten member of 2017’s deep tight end class even though he won the John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end his senior season.Many teams considered Butt as talented as first-round selections O.J. Howard, Evan Engram and David Njoku, but he slipped to the fifth round after tearing his right ACL in Michigan’s 33-32 loss to Florida State in the 2017 Orange Bowl. He was the eighth tight end drafted last year.Butt had a solid offseason and took most of the first-team snaps while Jeff Heuerman missed two weeks of training camp with a sore knee.Butt’s injury leaves the Broncos with two fourth-year tight ends in Heuerman and Matt LaCosse, plus Brian Parker on their practice squad. Safety Johnathan Abram – one of three first-round picks by the Oakland Raiders this spring – is set to have surgery to address a torn rotator cuff and labrum sustained in Monday night’s win over the Denver Broncos, per multiple reports.Abram is seeking a second opinion on the injury but surgery is likely and would potentially mean the end of his rookie year. Denver and played on 49 of Oakland’s 64 defensive snaps in the game. Head coach Jon Gruden was asked about Abram during his Tuesday meeting with reporters but didn’t volunteer any insight that Abram was dealing with a possible season-ending injury.“I think he probably got a little bit too reckless at times,” Gruden said. “He made some great plays Bradley Chubb Jersey White , some impact plays and certainly I think some tackles he’s got to make for us, he missed, but his debut was pretty good.”Abram had five tackles and a pass defended in his regular season debut for Oakland.
