Tight end Chad Mustard, a player fighting for his life on the Denver roster, suffered a hamstring tear that will sideline him for eight to ten weeks. This is the second time in two weeks that a Broncos tight end has gone down. First Tony Scheffler reinjured his foot on the first day of workouts, and now Mustard joins the list of injured players. The absence of Chad and Tony will give players like Nate Jackson more looks in the Denver offense.

Outside of Mustard and Scheffler, Coach Shanahan expects all injured players back on the field for the start of team camp on Monday. Those injured include Travis Henry, Dre Bly, DeWayne Robinson, and others with pulled hamstrings (Keary Colbert, Mike Bell, Spencer Larsen).

hammie with mustard

i really like this guy. he was yanked around last season week-week, not as an inactive player, but released/cut. there may have been an arrangement, though, as he was studying playbooks and the like on a weekly basis, to stay fresh and up to date. i hope shanny sticks with him, but this and what happened last year can’t be considered a positive sign. if we do let him go, we need another blocking tight end to back up graham, definitely. i don’t think we could get a better one for the price, though. here’s to a speedy recovery

With you 100%

I think Mustard is a pretty good player, and underrated too. His blocking skills are solid, and he showed last season that he can catch very well too. I’m hoping he can stick around, but the injury surely doesn’t help his case. I like Jackson to come in for key plays, but overall I think Mustard is a much better blocker, and much more well rounded.
