Impact Krull broke his left foot in early October, which prompted his placement on injured reserve. The eight-week timeline puts the 27-year-old tight end on pace to return by the end of the regular season or for the start of the postseason, should the Broncos qualify. With Krull on IR and Nate Adkins sustaining a knee injury during Denver's Week 8 win over Dallas, Evan Engram and Adam Trautman are the only healthy tight ends on the Broncos' active roster.

Suffers broken foot, placed on IR The Broncos placed Krull on injured reserve Saturday due to a broken foot, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Krull suffered the injury in practice this week and will now miss at least the next four games, though his absence could extend beyond that. Krull has appeared in two games this season, securing two passes for 15 yards on four targets.

Won't play due to foot injury Krull (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact The foot injury is a new one, as he appeared on Friday's practice report as a DNP. The injury is severe enough for him to be ruled out for Sunday's contest, though his absence won't make too much of an impact as he was a healthy scratch for the Broncos' Week 4 win against the Bengals. With Krull sidelined, Denver's tight end room will consist of Evan Engram, Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins.

Inactive with Engram back Krull (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Bengals.

Impact With Evan Engram (back) returning to the lineup, Krull is the odd man out at tight end for Denver.

One catch in loss Krull caught one of his two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Krull played 22 of Broncos' 52 offensive snaps, the most of any Denver tight end ahead of both Adam Trautman (19) and Nate Adkins (18). With teammate Evan Engram (back) ruled out for the contest, Krull was unable to make the most of his opportunity atop the depth chart. Even if Engram is forced to miss more time, the 27-year-old Krull remains far off the fantasy radar due to his limited role in Denver's passing attack. Next up for the Broncos is a matchup against the Bengals in Week 4.

Broncos Sign Third Year 6'6" Tight End to 1-Year Deal Ahead of NFL Draft Denver Broncos tight end Lucas Krull signed his one-year exclusive rights deal.

APRIL 8, 2025 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Back with Denver Krull re-signed with the Broncos on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Krull -- who entered the offseason as an exclusive-rights free agent -- was tendered a contract by the Broncos last month. Now that he's officially been re-signed, he'll reprise his depth role in a Denver tight end corps that now will be led by newcomer Evan Engram, with Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins also in the mix. In 13 regular-season contests with the Broncos in 2024, Krull posted a 19-152-0 line on 23 targets.

APRIL 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tendered by Denver Krull was tendered by the Broncos on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Krull entered the offseason as an exclusive-rights free agent and he will now stick around Denver for a third season in 2025. The tight end caught 19 of 23 targets for 152 yards in 2024 and he'll look to carve out a greater role for himself next season.

MARCH 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Records 19 grabs in regular season Krull finished the 2024 season with 19 catches on 23 targets for 152 yards and no touchdowns.

Impact Krull played 13 games in the 2024 campaign after appearing in just seven games in 2023. The 26-year-old tight end recorded career highs in catches, targets and yards this season while splitting playing time with fellow tight ends Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins. Krull paced the group in receptions and targets, as he became more involved in Denver's offense in his second season with the Broncos. The Pittsburgh product will enter this offseason as an exclusive rights free agent, giving the Broncos the ability to retain Krull as long as they offer him at least a one-year, league-minimum contract. Either way, Krull will look to take a step forward after gaining more experience this season.

JANUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Makes three grabs in loss Krull caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in Thursday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Krull finished the contest tied in playing time with Adam Trautman, as both tight ends finished the game with 28 offensive snaps. The 26-year-old Krull, however, was the more relied upon pass catcher, seeing three targets while Trautman was targeted just once. With that said, none of Denver's tight ends had a big game, including Nate Adkins who caught two passes for just 18 yards. Krull remains extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes while stuck in a timeshare. The Pittsburgh product will have his next opportunity to take a step forward when the Broncos visit the Bengals in Week 17.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Three grabs against Cleveland Krull caught all three of his targets for 24 yards in Monday's 41-32 win over the Browns.

Impact Krull paced all Denver tight ends in targets, receptions and yards Monday, though he played fewer offensive snaps (22) then both Adam Trautman (37) and Nate Adkins (26). The 26-year-old's involvement in the passing game, though minimal, was an improvement over his last two weeks in which he failed to earn a single target on 38 snaps in that span. Nonetheless, Krull is not seeing enough usage to garner any attention for fantasy purposes. The Broncos will host the Colts on Dec. 15 when they return from their Week 14 bye.

Back in action Krull (shoulder) returned to the field Sunday versus the Panthers, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Krull briefly left the game with a shoulder injury, but he has since returned. To this point, the tight end has caught both of his targets for 18 yards against Carolina.

Back in action Krull (shoulder) returned to the field Sunday versus the Panthers, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Krull briefly left the game with a shoulder injury but he has since returned. To this point, the tight end has caught both of his targets for 18 yards against Carolina.

OCTOBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return Krull (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact The tight end caught his only target for three yards before exiting. Krull recorded six catches for 57 yards and no scores in three previous games this season. The Broncos do not have another active tight end Sunday beyond starter Adam Trautman.

OCTOBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Three grabs in win Krull caught three of four targets for 41 yards in Thursday's 33-10 win over the Saints.

Impact Krull played 29 of the Broncos 65 offensive snaps Thursday, while fellow tight end Adam Trautman played 40 snaps. This comes a week after Krull's playing time nearly doubled that of Trautman against the Chargers in Week 6. Despite the flip in playing time, the 26-year-old Krull was the more effective of the two tight ends, as Trautman was unable to record a single catch on three targets. Meanwhile, Krull's three catches and 41 yards were both season highs for the Pittsburgh product. The 6-foot-6, 260-pounder has continued to push for a more prominent role in Denver's passing attack, and he'll have his next opportunity to do just that when the Broncos host the Panthers in Week 8.
