Denver Broncos place Caleb Lohner on short-term injured reserve

The Denver Broncos placed tight end Caleb Lohner on the short-term injured reserve list during the finalization of the team's 53-man roster on Sunday. Lohner, a former college basketball player at BYU, the University of Utah and Baylor, entered his second professional season after spending the previous year on the practice squad. General manager George Paton stated that the tight end experienced a foot injury that caused him to miss training camp and preseason activities. While no definitive return date has been set, the team expects him to remain sidelined until at least late October. Paton noted that the organization remains high on his physical traits and ball skills but confirmed that the team will prioritize his recovery before returning him to the field.
