Devaughn Vele Cleared To Face The Buccaneers

Devaughn Vele Cleared To Face The Buccaneers

2 months ago

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele (ribs) practiced in full on both Thursday and Friday and was removed from the final injury report. Vele will be active for the Week 3 matchup on Sunday on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after he was inactive for the Week 2 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old's return on Sunday is bad news for Courtland Sutton and the team's leading receiver, Josh Reynolds, after Vele caught all eight of his targets for 39 yards in the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The seventh-round selection out of Utah played 49% of the snaps in Week 1 and could immediately return as the WR3 and push fellow rookie Troy Franklin back to being a healthy scratch. While Vele appears to have some chemistry with rookie quarterback Bo Nix, he's nothing more than a deep-league stash for the time being in what has been an ugly offense through two games.
