Not suiting up in opener
Published: 2024-09-08
Krull (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Seahawks.
The reserve tight end is a clear No. 3 option behind Adam Trautman and Greg Dulcich, rendering his status as a healthy scratch in Week 1 unsurprising.

Cleared from injury
Published: 2024-08-14
Krull (toe) returned to practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Krull exited the Broncos' exhibition game against the Colts on Sunday early with the injury. His quick return will help keep him firmly in the competition for the team's No. 3 tight end spot behind Adam Trautman and Greg Dulcich.
Exits exhibition game with injury
Published: 2024-08-11
Krull won't return to Sunday's preseason contest against Indianapolis due to a toe injury, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Krull initially headed to the medical tent after getting hurt and was then carted off the field. Prior to his exit, he caught all four of his targets for 31 yards and also lost a fumble. Krull is competing for the No. 3 tight-end role with Denver for the 2024 campaign.
Plays seven games in 2023
Published: 2024-01-14
Krull finished the 2023 season with eight catches on 14 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown.
Krull appeared in just seven contests in his first season with the Broncos after spending much of the 2023 campaign on Denver's practice squad. The 25-year-old tight end started his NFL career in New Orleans, appearing in just one game with the Saints. Krull's touchdown in Week 16 of this season was the first of his career while he played a depth role with Greg Dulcich (foot) on injured reserve at the end of the season. The 6-foot-6, 260-pounder is under contract with the Broncos through the 2024 season, so he'll head into the offseason competing to play a larger role in the Denver's offense.
Quiet in Week 17
Published: 2024-01-03
Krull secured both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.
Krull played 33 percent of the team's offensive snaps behind fellow tight ends Adam Trautman (49) and Chris Manhertz (33). The 25-year-old involvement on offense took a dip in Week 17 after seeing five targets in Week 16. With limited opportunities, Krull remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 18 matchup with the Raiders.
Hits pay dirt in loss
Published: 2023-12-27
Krull secured four of five targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Patriots.
Krull's touchdown was his first of the season while his four catches were a season-high in the five games he has appeared. The 25-year-old played 32 percent of Denver's offensive snaps behind fellow tight ends Adam Trautman (49) and Chris Manhertz (35). Despite the limited playing time, Krull's five targets were tied for a team-high in the contest. Even with his increased usage Sunday, Krull should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos host the Chargers in Week 17.
Added to active roster
Published: 2023-12-16
The Broncos signed Krull to their 53-man roster Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Krull had already been elevated to the practice squad three times this season, so it was necessary for Denver to sign him to the active roster in order for him to suit up Saturday. He caught the first pass of his NFL career last week against the Chargers, gaining 35 yards on the play. Krull's spot on the team has come with Greg Dulcich (hamstring) on injured reserve, though Dulcich has been designated to return and could be back as soon as next week.
Back down to practice squad
Published: 2023-12-11
The Broncos reverted Krull to the practice squad Monday.
Krull was elevated to the active roster for the third time this season. He played 19 snaps -- 17 on offense, two on special teams -- and caught his only target for 35 yards. If the Broncos want to play Krull again this year, they'll have to sign him to the active roster as he's reached the maximum amount of elevations from the practice squad.
Joins active roster
Published: 2023-12-09
The Broncos elevated Krull to their active roster Saturday.
After playing 22 offensive snaps in Denver's Week 13 loss to the Texans, Krull has been elevated to the team's active roster once again. Krull has appeared in three games over the course of his two-year career, and he'll look to log his first NFL catch in Week 14.
