The Denver Broncos have struggled this season, but they have had an interesting connection in former Mizzou QB Drew Lock and TE Albert Okwuegbunam in recent weeks.
The 2 former Tigers have already connected for a touchdown, but it doesn’t seem they’ll be able to add to that total in 2020.
On Monday, Broncos reporter Mike Klis reported that Albert O had suffered a season-ending injury in the form of an ACL tear:

Okwuegbunam had 11 catches for 121 yards and a touchdown this year before his injury.
The Broncos have Noah Fant and others at tight end, but losing a guy like Albert O still hurts Lock and the offense. Hopefully he can recover fully for 2021.
