Broncos' tight ends still not involved enough on offense

LONDON -- The Broncos' offense hasn't played the way most hoped or expected, punctuated by Denver being the lowest-scoring team in the league at 14.3 points per game.

Beyond the issues with quarterback Russell Wilson or coach Nathaniel Hackett, one of the most unexpected problems has been the lack of involvement from their five tight ends. As the Broncos have gravitated toward Wilson playing in the shotgun formation with a three-wide receiver grouping, the tight ends have seen their contributions dip.

"Versatility in that position is key for this system and just building off of that, their athletic ability and their ability to learn everything," said offensive coordinator Justin Outten.
