Broncos' Nate Adkins: Won't play Week 11
Adkins (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Adkins will miss a third consecutive game due a knee injury that prevented him from participating in all three practices during Week 11 prep. Adam Trautman and Evan Engram will continue to serve as the Broncos' top tight ends on the active roster in Adkins' absence. With the Broncos on a bye for Week 12, Adkins will have more time to recover from his knee injury and try to be available for Week 13 against the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 30.

Broncos' Nate Adkins: Still unable to practice
Adkins (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Broncos' Nate Adkins: Will miss second straight
Adkins (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Denver's game against the Raiders on Thursday.
Adkins is set to miss his second straight game. He has been unable to practice in any capacity since originally suffering the injury, so it's unclear when he may be able to return. Adam Trautman played a season-high 73 percent of offensive snaps in Adkins' absence in Week 9, and he should see an expanded role once again.

Broncos' Nate Adkins: Sits out of Tuesday's walkthrough
Adkins (knee) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Adkins has opened Week 10 prep with back-to-back DNPs as he continues to recover from a knee injury he sustained against the Cowboys in Week 8. He was unable to play against the Texans on Sunday, and he's unlikely to play Thursday against the Raiders unless he practices in at least a limited capacity Wednesday.

Adkins (knee) was estimated to be a non-participant in Monday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Adkins was sidelined with the injury in Week 9 and will now have a short turnaround ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Raiders. He'll likely have to log at least one limited session in the next two days to have a chance to suit up on game day.

Broncos' Nate Adkins: Won't play vs. Houston
Adkins (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Adkins was unable to practice all week due to a knee injury he sustained against the Cowboys in Week 8. With Lucas Krull (foot) on injured reserve and Adkins sidelined for Week 9, Adam Trautman will see an elevated role on offense as the TE2 behind Evan Engram, and the Broncos could elevate Caleb Lohner or Marcedes Lewis from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's road game.

Broncos' Nate Adkins: No practice to begin week
Adkins (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Broncos' Nate Adkins: Dealing with knee injury
Adkins (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Adkins suffered an apparent knee injury in the second half, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Evan Engram will continue to handle the majority of the workload at tight end versus Dallas.

Broncos' Nate Adkins: Two catches in Week 7 win
Adkins played 26 of the Broncos' 81 snaps on offense and finished with two catches for 20 yards on three targets in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.
Adkins recorded a 16-yard touchdown reception in the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets in London in Week 6, but he's otherwise offered little fantasy utility in his backup role at tight end behind starter Evan Engram. Through five appearances on the season, Adkins has played fewer than half of the Broncos' offensive snaps on each occasion and has produced a 6-48-1 receiving line on nine targets.

Broncos' Nate Adkins: Cleared to play against Philly
Adkins (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Adkins entered the league's concussion protocol following the Broncos' Week 4 win over the Bengals. He increased his practice participation steadily over the week, and after a full session Friday, he's been given the green light to play in Sunday's road game, when he'll serve in a depth role at tight end behind Evan Engram and Adam Trautman.

Broncos' Nate Adkins: Log full practice Wednesday
Adkins (ankle) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Adkins has been held back to some extent since he underwent a tightrope procedure to address a sprained ankle back in July, but it now appears he's finally back to full strength and ready to make his 2025 debut. If starting tight end Evan Engram (back) is unable to play Sunday against the Chargers, Adkins could be in line for an expanded role.

Broncos' Nate Adkins: Ruled out for Week 2
Adkins (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Indianapolis.
Adkins has been working his way back from a tightrope procedure that he underwent in July on an ankle sprain and missed Week 1 against Tennessee. The veteran tight end did manage a pair of limited practice sessions to end the current week, so he appears to be making progress despite being ruled out for Week 2. Denver's tight-end room Sunday will consist of Evan Engram, Adam Trautman and Lucas Krull.

Broncos' Nate Adkins: Returns to practice Thursday
Adkins (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Adkins underwent a tightrope procedure on an ankle sprain in July, which prevented him from participating in training camp and in the week leading up to the Broncos' regular-season opener against the Titans this past Sunday. He returned to practice Thursday, and while it's unclear whether he'll be cleared to play against the Colts on Sunday, he should at least be ready to suit up for the Broncos' Week 3 clash against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 21, per Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette. Adkins appeared in 17 regular-season games for Denver in 2024 and posted 14 catches (on 15 targets) for 115 yards and three touchdowns.
