Broncos' Jake Butt (torn ACL) done for season

Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt is out for the remainder of the season after tearing his ACL in Thursday's practice.

What It Means:

Butt has now suffered an ACL tear 2 years in a row, after the injury forced him to miss all of his rookie season in 2017. The latest injury happened on a non-contact play in Thursday's practice. His absence leaves Jeff Heuerman and Matt LaCosse as the only tight ends on the Broncos roster.

Through 3 games, Butt caught 8-of-12 targets for 85 yards and 0 touchdowns.
