Denver Broncos place tight end Caleb Lohner on injured reserve

The Denver Broncos placed tight end Caleb Lohner on injured reserve on August 30, 2026. This roster move ensures the former 2025 draft pick will miss the start of the upcoming season. Lohner, who transitioned from college basketball, struggled to secure consistent practice time during camp due to an injury. By placing him on short-term injured reserve, the team gains additional time to observe his development as a professional football player. He remains eligible to return to the active roster after serving a mandatory four-game absence. If Lohner is not selected for the final 53-man roster, he remains a potential candidate for the team's practice squad.
