Dulcich is listed as the Broncos' No. 2 tight end on the team's initial unofficial depth chart, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dulcich, who was limited to just two regular-season appearances in 2023 as he dealt with hamstring and foot issues, is listed behind Adam Trautman and ahead of Lucas Krull on Denver's current unofficial depth chart. That said, if Dulcich is able to stay healthy and impress as the preseason progresses, the 2022 third-rounder has the pass-catching upside to carry the most fantasy utility among the team's top TE trio in 2024.

Dulcich (hamstring) participated in practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per McFadden, Dulcich made his mark during Wednesday's session by making a couple of nice catches during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills. Dulcich was limited to just two appearances in 2023 as he dealt with hamstring and foot issues, but if he's able to stay clear of significant injury concerns ahead of Week 1, the 2022 third-round pick has a chance to carve out a key pass-catching role in a Denver tight end corps that also features Adam Trautman and Lucas Krull.

Coach Sean Payton said Tuesday that Dulcich (hamstring) is expected to practice this week at training camp, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dulcich avoided placement on the active/PUP list to begin camp, so practicing this week should be a given for him. The third-year tight end has been completely unable to stay healthy as a pro, missing a combined 22 of 34 games since being selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Dulcich played in just two games last season, missing the final 11 overall. The Broncos return veteran Adam Trautman and have openly hyped Lucas Krull this offseason at the tight end position. Payton's Denver regime also wasn't the one that chose to draft Dulcich, so he needs to put some strong, healthy days together this summer.

Dulcich (hamstring/foot) avoided being placed on the active/PUP list by the Broncos ahead of training camp beginning Tuesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dulcich has played in just 12 games over his first two seasons in the NFL, and he'll enter camp looking to leave both a hamstring and a foot injury in his past. His ability to begin training camp on the field is a positive sign for where he's at in his recovery as he looks beat out the likes of Adam Trautman and Lucas Krull for Denver's starting tight end role in 2024.

Coach Sean Payton said Tuesday that Dulcich (hamstring/foot) is doing "really well" physically at this stage of the offseason, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Payton adds that Dulcich could return to the field this week during minicamp. Once the 2022 third-rounder is back in action, he'll look to carve out a key pass-catching role in a tight end corps that also includes Adam Trautman and Lucas Krull. Dulcich has played just 12 games through two NFL seasons and has repeatedly struggled with hamstring injuries.

Dulcich (hamstring/foot) worked on a side field during Thursday's OTA, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

On the plus side, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com relays via coach Sean Payton that Dulcich is "close" to practicing and should be doing so "sooner than later." Dulcich, who was limited to just two regular-season appearances in 2023, thus is expected to be ready before training camp, per Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site. At that stage, the 2022 third-rounder will have an opportunity to claim a key role in Denver's passing offense, while operating in a TE corps that also includes Adam Trautmanand Lucas Krull.

Dulcich's (foot) 21-day practice window closed Wednesday, and he won't be activated from injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year tight end's season is over. Due to hamstring and foot issues, Dulcich played just 32 offensive snaps across two games in 2023, catching three of four targets for 25 scoreless yards. Dulcich has missed 22 of 34 games to begin his pro career.

Dulcich, who is dealing with hamstring and foot injuries, is not expected to play in the Broncos' regular-season finale against the Raiders, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Broncos designated Dulcich to return from IR on Dec. 13, but he'll likely stay on the team's injured reserve list due to his multiple injuries. Head coach Sean Payton noted Monday, per Tommason, that the team's medical staff are "working hard" to get Dulcich the strength and conditioning training to get and remain healthy. The 2022 third-round pick out of UCLA has played just two games this season, and if he is indeed inactive for Week 18, will finish the year with three catches on four targets for 25 yards.

Dulcich (hamstring/foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Dulcich remains on injured reserve. The second-year tight end hasn't played since Week 6 and has been limited to just two games this season, getting hurt in both of them. It's been a nightmarish start to Dulcich's career, as he has just three catches for 25 yards in 2023. Adam Trautman and Lucas Krull will continue to soak up Denver's tight end snaps.

Dulcich (hamstring/foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dulcich has yet to be activated from injured reserve after being designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 13. The Broncos have 21 days from that date to add the tight end back to the active roster, and Dulcich would have to miss the remainder of the season if he isn't activated during that window. Denver's injury report lists both a hamstring and foot injury for Dulcich, but the latter is believed to be the primary problem hindering his availability at the moment after the former led to his placement on IR to begin with.
