The Denver Broncos did not trade away any players before the NFL's trade deadline on Tuesday, but they did have conversations with other clubs about at least two in-house players.
The San Francisco 49ers went into the trade deadline looking for receiving help, and Broncos tight end Evan Engram "was on their radar," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Engram was not traded "in part because Denver doesn't have a replacement," Fowler reported before the deadline.
In addition to Engram drawing interest, the Broncos also "received some interest in running back J.K. Dobbins," according to Fowler. Dobbins also wasn't traded, perhaps because Denver didn't land any running backs before the deadline.
"Had they moved on Jonathan Taylor, perhaps they would
have entertained trading Dobbins. But Denver has two running backs on IR, so it needs both Jonah Coleman and Dobbins right now," Folwer wrote for ESPN.
Going into the bye, Coleman and Dobbins are the only two running backs on the active roster (the Broncos also have Cody Schrader and Jaret Patterson available on the practice squad. Tyler Badie (thumb) is eligible to return from IR in Week 12 and RJ Harvey (knee) can return in Week 13.
