Broncos tight end Jake Butt finally healthy
Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt says he is now fully recovered from the injuries that sidelined him in 2019.
Butt has had one of the most injury-plagued careers in recent memory. Since entering the league as a fifth-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, he has played in just 3 games, missing the entirety of his rookie season while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in his final season of college ball, most of the 2018 season with another torn ACL, and the entirety of the 2019 season after undergoing a reportedly 'minor' knee operation.
If Butt is healthy for the 2020 season, he'll find himself on a suddenly-crowded tight end depth chart. 2019 first-round pick Noah Fant flashed immense athleticism in his rookie season, and the team just drafted Albert Okwuegbunam in the fourth round of this year's draft. He's a longshot for fantasy-relevant production, but was an intriguing prospect coming out of Michigan.
