Denver Broncos Suffer Loss Of Tight End Jeff Heuerman

Coach Gary Kubiak was disappointed. "I feel terrible for Jeff and this is an unfortunate situation. Jeff was going to be a big part of our team this year, and he's still going to be a big part of our team and organization in the future. He'll get well and be with us as part of this team throughout his rehabilitation.”
