Begins week with limited practice Fant (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports

Impact Fant was limited all week leading up to the Week 6 win over the Patriots, and coach Vic Fangio suggested the tight end had a "50-50" chance to play. He was ultimately ruled out, but he should have a good chance to play this Sunday versus the Chiefs if he can maintain the upward trajectory. Quarterback Drew Lock will be back under center, and the two will look to pick up where they left off if Fant can shake the injury by Sunday.

Vic Fangio has turned the Denver Broncos loose on the blitz

Denver Broncos coach Vic Fangio has dialed up the blitz in consecutive wins over the New York Jets and New England Patriots on the road

OCTOBER 19, 2020 • Associated Press

Could return Week 7 Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Fant (ankle) has a "chance" to face the Chiefs on Sunday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Fant is continuing to work his way back from an ankle sprain sustained Week 4. The second-year tight end was initially deemed to have a "50/50" shot for last Sunday's 18-12 win over the Patriots, but he was ultimately ruled out before even flying with the team to New England. He'll look to upgrade his level of practice activity leading up to Week 7.

OCTOBER 17, 2020 • DENVERBRONCOS.COM

Unable to play Sunday Fant (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Patriots, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Impact Considering coach Vic Fangio suggested Friday the tight end was "50-50 to go this week," it's perhaps a bit surprising that Fant won't even travel with the team to New England one day later. That being said, the 22-year-old was ruled out prior to Monday's contest before the game was eventually postponed, so this shouldn't come as a major surprise. Jake Butt, Nick Vannett and Albert Okwuegbunam will likely serve as a three-headed attack in replace of Fant this week.

Draws questionable tag Fant (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Coach Vic Fangio said that Fant "is 50/50 to go this week," so it looks like the second-year tight end's status is still truly up in the air. Fant originally sprained his ankle Week 4 against the Jets, but has since gotten the benefit of an unexpected Week 5 bye after Denver's initially scheduled game against the Patriots was postponed. New England has once again cancelled practices Friday due to a positive COVID-19 test, there are numerous factors surrounding Fant's availability for Week 6.

Logs limited workout Fant (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Prior to the workout, coach Vic Fangio labeled Fant as "50-50" to play Sunday at New England, according to DiLalla. Given that Fant's limited activity in practice matched his listing from Wednesday, it's unlikely the tight end did much to change his questionable status in Fangio's mind. If Fant can put in a full practice Friday, the Broncos would likely have more optimism about his chances of being ready to suit up this weekend without having missed any game action. Fant originally sprained his ankle in the Week 4 win over the Jets and benefited from an unexpected Week 5 bye after the Patriots-Broncos game was postponed following due to positive COVID-19 tests within New England's organization.

Fantasy Injury Updates: Is Noah Fant playing this week? Noah Fant (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury and figures to be

OCTOBER 15, 2020 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Limited in return to practice Fant (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Fant wasn't able to practice in any capacity last week, so handling restricted reps Wednesday represents a significant step in the right direction. Coach Vic Fangio initially labeled Fant as week-to-week due to the ankle injury he sustained Oct. 1, so it's possible that the tight end could have to upgrade to full practice by Friday in order to play Sunday against the Patriots.

Practicing Wednesday Fant (ankle) will participate in Wednesday's practice, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact The extent of Fant's practice activity remains to be seen, but it's encouraging to see him get on the field in some capacity after having been absent all last week. The tight end is working to overcome the ankle sprain in time for Sunday's game in New England.

OCTOBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Unsurprisingly ruled out Fant (ankle) was ruled out ahead of Monday's contest against the Patriots, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact This comes as little surprise considering Fant has been unable to practice all week. Coach Vic Fangio previously stated the second-year tight end is likely week-to-week after injuring his ankle in last Thursday's win over the Jets, although that timeline wasn't supposed to kickstart until Week 6, when the Broncos take on the Dolphins.

Making progress Fant (ankle) did not practice Thursday but did get in some work on the side, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Impact Fant isn't expected to face the Patriots in Week 5, but it looks like he's recovering at a good pace after having been force out of last Thursday's win over the Jets due to an ankle sprain. If the second-year tight end indeed sits out versus New England, his next chance to take the field will come Oct. 18 against the Dolphins.

OCTOBER 8, 2020 • Associated Press

Impact Fangio noted that Fant hasn't yet been officially ruled out for Week 5, but it looks as though the starting tight end would have to make exceedingly quick progress in practice for any chance at suiting up. Adam Schefter of ESPN previously reported that the second-year tight end will be considered week-to-week going forward. Rookie fourth-round pick Albert Okwuegbunam hasn't yet been active this season, but he could get a shot to make his NFL debut versus the Patriots if Fant is indeed unable to go.

Likely not playing Week 5 Fant is not expected to play next week against the Patriots, but is considered "week-to-week" in subsequent games, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact If there's a bit of a silver lining for Fant it's that he doesn't appear to have suffered a season-ending ankle injury during Thursday's win over the Jets. An elongated absence is hardly a consolation prize considering the Broncos are practically devoid of healthy pass catchers with Courtland Sutton (knee) on IR and Jerry Jeudy banged up entering Thursday's matchup. Albert Okwuegbunam makes for an intriguing speculative add in deep leagues considering his speed (4.49 40-yard dash), but it's worth reiterating the rookie was a healthy inactive Thursday with Jake Butt and Nick Vannett both ahead of him on the depth chart despite the obvious difference in athletic talent.
