Dalton Risner Denver Broncos Jersey , Colo. (AP) — Temarrick Hemingway is the latest tight end to get his shot with the Denver Broncos, who have lost three tight ends to season-ending injuries.The Broncos (5-6), who visit the Bengals (5-6) this weekend, promoted Hemingway from their practice squad Tuesday when they placed Jeff Heuerman on injured reserve.Heuerman broke three ribs and bruised a lung in the Broncos’ 24-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.Heuerman was in the midst of a breakout season, posting career highs in catches (31) and yards (281) while scoring twice in his fourth NFL season. He’s set to become a free agent after this season.Heuerman joined fellow tight ends Jake Butt and Troy Fumagalli on IR. Butt blew out his left knee in a special teams practice in September and rookie Troy Fumagalli has missed all season with a sports hernia.Case Keenum’s tight end targets now consist of Matt LaCosse , who scored his first career touchdown Sunday, Brian Parker and Hemingway, who joined the Broncos’ practice squad on Oct. 10 after competing with the Los Angeles Rams in training camp.The Rams selected Hemingway in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL draft out of South Carolina State. He played in eight games his rookie season and missed last season with a leg injury he sustained in a preseason game.The Broncos also signed three players to their practice squad: D-lineman Caushaud Lyons Chris Harris Jersey , tight end Tim Semisch and O-lineman Dan Skipper, and they designated tackle Andreas Knappe as practice squad/injured reserve.

Interesting trends in the Broncos’ OTA player interviewsRon Chenoy-USA TODAY SportsThe Denver Broncos have now completed three weeks of OTA practices, along with the usual opportunities for the media to interview a couple of players after practice. The team is required to make a couple of players available for interviews after each practice, but the team gets its choice of which players that will be. Due to that we can look at who the team has had talking to the media for some interesting patterns and insights, and there are definitely a couple to be found:1) No RookiesThe Broncos had to allow rookies to be available to the media during the team’s rookie minicamp at the beginning of May, and each of the team’s six 2019 draft picks took a turn in front of the cameras. But the rookies have been conspicuously absent ever since. Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesThere have been some young players made available, including 2nd year wide receivers Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton Derek Wolfe Jersey , as well as linebacker Josey Jewell. But not one of the fifteen players made available so far during OTAs has been a rookie. That’s interesting considering the automatic interest both fans and the media have in the team’s crop of new players, and particularly so in the cases of Noah Fant and Drew Lock. But rather than cater to that, the team has been very intentional to keep as much media attention off of the rookies as possible.I’d say that this tactic is a wise one. It lets the rookies keep their focus on learning the playbook and acclimating to being a player on the professional level. Dividing their focus with the pressure of standing in front of the media- and doing so without saying the wrong thing- would not benefit the team on the field this year.It also starves the mainstream media of narrative-building material. We’ve already seen how over the top many outlets got over relatively innocuous comments Joe Flacco made in regard to mentoring Drew Lock, often ignoring the fact that head coach Vic Fangio said the same thing. With few or no opportunities to interview Lock, the outlets that are prone to such things are left trying to get traction for narratives some other way.
