Okwuegbunam recorded one reception on two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens.
Okwuegbunam played on just 26 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps, which marks his lowest snap share of the season thus far. Starting tight end Noah Fant, however, was on the field for 93 percent of the team's offensive plays, soaked up a team-high 10 targets and scored a touchdown. Denver struggled to get things going on offense against Baltimore, rendering the passing game mostly ineffective outside of Fant's trip to the end zone. As the No. 2 tight end, Okwuegbunam will find it difficult to see consistent usage and production, but mounting injuries to Denver's receiving corps may open up more looks for the 6-foot-5, 258-pounder going forward. The Broncos head to Pittsburgh in Week 5, a game that may feature Drew Lock at quarterback if Teddy Bridgewater is forced to miss additional time with a concussion.
