TE Alexander Placed on IR, Mustard Signed

Posted Thu Oct 18th by

MustardYahoo! Sports reports that the Broncos have placed veteran tight end Stephen Alexander on Injured Reserve, ending his season. Alexander has been hampered with a calf injury all season long.  The team signed TE Chad Mustard to fill the roster spot.

The two tight ends have alternated spots on the roster several times this year, but Alexander had yet to move off the club’s inactive list on game day.  If activated on Sundays, Mustard would likely find work in run blocking situations and on special teams.

    With Walker out and TE’s Nate and Steven both side-lined, I’d expect a pretty big day from Tony Scheffler. He not only will be one of the few TE’s we have left (unless we start our long-snapper), but he’s also a proven pass threat.

    Brandon, Stokley and Martinez did pretty well vs SD. I know Martinez got slack for the return fumble, but I felt he did very well in the passing game. I think if we add Scheffler to the mix opposite Graham, we could have some success through the air vs PITT.

    What bothers me about Andrew’s post is that his first example he lists when talking about missing man-games is 2001… let’s hope THAT year isn’t repeated! :(
