Broncos HC Vic Fangio told reporters Friday that TE Albert Okwuegbunam (hamstring) will not play Week 5 at Pittsburgh.

Albert O has been critical for two-TE sets in Denver and his loss to the offense matters.

Okwuegbunam, who was slowed by a hip injury late in training camp, played 15 snaps against the Falcons and was injured on his only target (and reception) of the game. On a seven-yard catch, Okwuegbunam was tackled by cornerback A.J. Terrell and defensive tackle Jacob Tuioti-Mariner. It appeared that Okwuegbunam’s right knee planted into the turf awkwardly. Fant and Vannett will look to lead the way at TE, with Fant the guy to own on fantasy teams.
