Another prized pick from last weekend's NFL draft is expected to miss the season after suffering a major knee injury at a rookie minicamp. The tight end from Ohio State tore his left anterior cruciate ligament at a special teams practice Saturday afternoon and had to be carted off the field. Heuerman's injury came 24 hours after Jaguars first-rounder Dante Fowler Jr., was lost for the season with a torn left ACL. The Broncos were counting on Heuerman to team with veterans Owen Daniels, Virgil Green and James Casey in a rotation of tight ends that is a hallmark of coach Gary Kubiak's offense.
