Denver Broncos Make Tight End Change, Greg Dulcich Inactive for Week 5

The Denver Broncos have made a notable change at the tight end position ahead of their Week 5 matchup, declaring Greg Dulcich inactive. Dulcich, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury since the beginning of the season, was officially ruled out as he continues to recover. The Broncos’ offense will need to adjust as they face key AFC opponents without one of their primary playmakers.

Dulcich’s Injury Setback

Greg Dulcich, who showed flashes of brilliance during his rookie season, has been hampered by a lingering hamstring injury. He first sustained the injury earlier in the season and was expected to return to the lineup soon. However, the team’s decision to make him inactive indicates that he may need more time to fully recover. Dulcich’s absence is a significant blow, as the Broncos have struggled to find consistency in their offense this season.

With Dulcich sidelined, Denver will rely on backup tight ends, including Adam Trautman, to fill the gap. Trautman has been a solid contributor, but Dulcich’s athleticism and ability to stretch the field have been missed in the Broncos’ passing game.

Impact on Broncos’ Offense

Denver’s passing game has been underperforming, and Dulcich’s absence further complicates their offensive schemes. Quarterback Russell Wilson will need to adjust, leaning more on his wide receivers and running backs in the passing game. The Broncos have been searching for an offensive rhythm this season, and not having one of their key playmakers available makes it even more challenging to keep up with division rivals.

Looking Ahead

There is no official word yet on when Dulcich will return to the lineup, as the team remains cautious with his recovery. For now, the Broncos are focused on their Week 5 game, hoping the remaining offensive weapons can step up in his absence.
