A.J. Derby (shoulder) ruled out for Week 11 by Denver

Denver Broncos tight end A.J. Derby (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Cincinnati Bengals.

What It Means:

Derby missed practice all week with a shoulder injury he suffered in Week 10's loss to the New England Patriots. With Derby and Jeff Heuerman sidelined this week, Virgil Green will take on an expanded role as the only healthy tight end on the Broncos' roster.

Derby has 19 catches for 224 yards and 2 touchdowns in 9 games this season.
