Crucial Broncos player set to return from injury (and it's not who you think)

The Denver Broncos' offense is getting some reinforcements on Sunday against the Chargers, and it might not be who everyone expects.

The Broncos have been without tight end Nate Adkins through the first two weeks of the season, a versatile offensive weapon for Sean Payton who does a lot of dirty work as a blocker but also plays a key role on special teams.

The first injury report of the week for the Broncos heading into their Week 3 matchup against the Chargers had some obviously unfortunate updates, such as Evan Engram being listed as a DNP with a back injury, but Adkins was listed as a full participant.
