Albert Okwuegbunam Could Miss Week 5
3 years agoDenver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (hamstring) injured his hamstring in practice on Wednesday and isn't practicing on Thursday. There's a chance that he could be ruled out in Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mid-week injuries are usually never good, so Albert O could be on the wrong side of questionable right now. The 23-year-old has nine catches on 10 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown so far this season as the clear No. 2 tight end behind Noah Fant. Should Fant ever miss any time, Okwuegbunam would be a popular waiver addition and streamer at the position. But as long as Fant is on the field, he doesn't have any standalone value. Eric Saubert could see an increased role behind Fant if Okwuegbunam is out this Sunday.
