Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to rib injuries. In Week 1, Vele was a significant part of the Broncos' receiving corps, ranking third in pass routes and tying for second in targets. His absence opens up opportunities for other receivers, particularly Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Marvin Mims, who may see increased playing time.

Troy Franklin, the wide receiver for the Denver Broncos, has been facing challenges during training camp, particularly with drops. His performance has led to him falling low on the depth chart, with reports indicating that he is currently behind fellow rookie Devaughn Vele, a seventh-round pick. This situation raises concerns about Franklin's role in the upcoming season.
