Denver Broncos place Frank Crum on injured reserve to begin season

The Denver Broncos placed offensive tackle Frank Crum on injured reserve during the roster cutdown process on August 30, 2026. This move was made to comply with the 53-man roster limit ahead of the team's season-opening deadline. Crum suffered a leg injury during the team's preseason Week 2 game against the Green Bay Packers. He subsequently missed practice time and was inactive for the preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings. As an injured reserve player, he is ineligible for the first four weeks of the regular season. The team expects him to be eligible to return starting in Week 5. Over the previous two seasons, the former undrafted free agent from the University of Wyoming appeared in 17 regular season games with two starts.
