  • Dealing with minor hamstring issue

    Hamler was limited in practice Tuesday due to what coach Vic Fangio called a "tweaked hamstring", Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: The injury doesn't seem serious according to Fangio, but the team wants to be cautious with its second-year wide receiver. Hamler will likely continue to be limited over the next week or so until his hamstring fully recovers. The former Penn State standout will look to break out after catching 30 of 56 targets for 381 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie.

  • Turns in up-and-down rookie year

    Hamler caught 30 of 56 targets for 381 yards for three touchdowns while adding 40 yards on nine carries in 13 games during his rookie season.

    Analysis: Hamler was the second receiver the Broncos selected in the 2020 NFL Draft, but he arguably had some bigger moments than first-round pick Jerry Jeudy. The Penn State product's top highlights came Week 8 -- when he caught the game-winning touchdown against the Chargers -- and Week 14, when he scored twice against the Panthers. On the negative side, drops and injuries were an issue for the rookie. His 12.5 percent drop rate was third-worst mark in the league, and he struggled with a hamstring…read more

  • Will finish season on IR

    Hamler (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Hamler was already ruled out for the season finale against Las Vegas, so this move was made to open a roster spot. The rookie second-round pick finished the 2020 season with 30 receptions (on 56 targets) for 381 yards and three touchdowns over 13 games.

  • Out this weekend

    Hamler (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Raiders, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: With Hamler ruled out for Denver's season finale, DaeSean Hamilton should be in line for an uptick in snaps and targets at wide receiver in Week 17 alongside starters Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick. Hamler, meanwhile, concludes his rookie campaign with 30 catches (on 56 targets) for 381 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games.

    Hamler (concussion) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: If Hamler isn't medically cleared in advance of Sunday's game against the Raiders, DaeSean Hamilton would be in line for an uptick in snaps and targets at wide receiver this weekend alongside Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick.

    Hamler (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

  • Leaves Sunday's game

    Hamler exited Sunday's game against the Chargers due to a concussion, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com

    Analysis: Prior to leaving the game, Hamler didn't catch a pass, but he did rush once for three yards. Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick remain on hand to head Denver's Week 16 wideout corps.

  • Crashes back to earth

    Hamler caught one of four targets for four yards in Sunday's 48-19 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Hamler enjoyed a breakout in Week 14 against the Panthers when he caught two passes for 86 yards and two touchdowns. The rookie second-round pick couldn't replicate that success, finishing with fewer than 25 receiving yards for the sixth time this season.

  • Collects pair of long TDs

    Hamler caught two of three targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 32-27 win against Carolina.

    Analysis: Hamler wasn't a high-volume target within the Broncos' passing attack Sunday, but he cashed in on limited opportunity by notching two second-half touchdowns of 37-plus yards. The Penn State product had been seldom capable of finding the end zone coming into Week 14, tallying just one TD over the first 10 appearances of his NFL career. Given Hamler's game-breaking speed, Drew Lock's willingness to throw deep balls could provide for a seamless match if the two can continue to build chemistry over…read more

  • Fourth-quarter drop proves costly

    Hamler caught two of his five targets for 16 yards, adding two rushes for 13 yards during Sunday night's 22-16 loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: Not including the Kendall Hinton experiment Week 12 against New Orleans, Hamler has posted multiple receptions in each of his six outings since Oct. 25. Drops continue to be an issue, however, as the second-round rookie has already posted six on the 2020 campaign. Hamler's third-down drop near midfield with 6:13 to go in the fourth quarter hurt Denver dearly, as the Broncos only received one more possession, ultimately proving unable to score given 64 seconds and no timeouts from the team's own…read more

  • Loses yardage in loss

    Hamler lost eight total yards on two carries during Sunday's 31-3 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: Hamler was not targeted in Sunday's contest as the Broncos attempted just nine passes with rookie wide receiver Kendall Hinton forced in at quarterback. The Broncos tried to utilize Hamler's elusiveness in the jet-sweep game, but New Orleans had little reason to bite without the threat of a pass. The good news for Hamler is that Drew Lock, who had connected with Hamler on 14 passes in the previous three weeks, will be back in the lineup Sunday night against the Chiefs. The bad news is that…read more

  • Collects four receptions

    Hamler caught four of six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: After three straight weeks of playing more than 75 percent of the snaps on offense, Hamler curiously logged just 58 percent of the snaps in Sunday's win. His decrease in usage was likely related to Drew Lock's protection as he played through a rib injury because the Broncos opted for more two tight-end sets than usual. The rookie second-round pick still managed to put up a decent day despite the limited usage. He now has 14 receptions for 140 yards through the last three games.

  • Leads team in targets

    Hamler caught four of 10 targets for 50 yards during Sunday's loss in Las Vegas.

    Analysis: Hamler kicked Denver's offense into gear in the closing minute of the first half, coming across the middle and turning up field for a 27-yard gain that helped put the Broncos in striking distance right before the half. Hamler was hampered by a hamstring injury through training camp and into the season and was averaging a respectable 4.5 targets per game in his first four outings of the year. The rookie out of Penn State has now been targeted 10 times in each of the last two weeks as his speed…read more

  • Double-digit targets at Atlanta

    Hamler secured six of 10 targets for 75 receiving yards during Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons. He also registered a 15-yard rush on his lone carry.

    Analysis: Hamler eclipsed his previous career high in targets by three, also doubling his pre-existing best of three receptions during Sunday's defeat. Though Tim Patrick did score one of two wide receiver TDs while nearly equaling Hamler with nine targets of his own, the rookie proved to be significantly more explosive with his 12.5 yards-per-catch average. Hamler and Patrick fit in as the second and third options at WR behind Jerry Jeudy heading into the Broncos' Week 10 matchup against the Raiders'…read more

  • Snags game-winner

    Hamler caught all three of his targets for 13 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-30 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Following a pass-interference penalty against the Chargers, the Broncos had one second to complete the comeback. Drew Lock rolled out, and when the defender came up to defend against the keeper, Hamler came open along the sideline for a a one-yard score. The rookie second-rounder has struggled to establish himself this season with recurring hamstring injuries and a revolving door at quarterback. Sunday might have been Hamler's chance to turn the corner. The next step in his development will be…read more

  • Snares two passes in blowout loss

    Hamler corralled two of three targets for 24 receiving yards during Sunday's 43-16 loss to Kansas City. He also fumbled twice, but neither loose ball was recovered by the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Though Denver was unable to generate a single passing touchdown Week 7, it was at least a balanced attack, with eight different Broncos contributing two or more receptions. Hamler made his first contribution on the final play of the second quarter, registering a 21-yard catch-and-run as time expired in the first half. The Penn State product was otherwise held quiet in what was his first appearance since aggravating a hamstring injury Oct. 1. Having made it through the contest with no issue,…read more

  • Ready to rock

    Hamler (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Hamler is set to return to the field for the first time since Week 4, when he aggravated a hamstring injury that had first cropped up back in training camp. The rookie second-round pick stands to be in the mix as Denver's third wide receiver behind Tim Patrick and Jerry Jeudy.

    Analysis: Hamler was unable to increase his activity level from Wednesday, but the Broncos are still seemingly encouraged with how he's progressed from the hamstring injury that has sidelined him since Week 4. According to DiLalla, head coach Vic Fangio said earlier Thursday that Hamler hasn't suffered any setbacks with the injury, leaving the door open for the rookie to return to the lineup Sunday against the Chiefs.

    Hamler (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Hamler's limited listing was expected after he was spotted on the field during the portion of practice that was open to the media. Since Hamler hasn't played since exiting the Broncos' Week 4 win over the Jets on Oct. 1 with the hamstring injury, he'll likely need to upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday to avoid a designation heading into Sunday's game against the Chiefs. If cleared to play this weekend, Hamler should supplant DaeSean Hamilton for a regular spot alongside Jerry…read more

    Analysis: Hamler was spotted stretching at the early portion of practice, and an official word on his activity level will come when the Broncos' first injury report is released later in the day. Denver will most likely list the rookie second-round pick as a "limited" participant in the session, but that would still represent a tangible step in the right direction. Hamler will look to continue ramping up his workload with an eye on returning from a one-game absence Sunday against the Chiefs.

  • Could return Week 7

    Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Hamler (hamstring) could return for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Hamler's hamstring kept him out of the season opener and the Week 6 win over the Patriots, but there's a chance he could return to the lineup this Sunday. If he's able to shake off the injury in time, the rookie second-rounder likely will line up as the No. 3 wideout behind Tim Patrick and Jerry Jeudy, and he could be pushed further down the pecking order if tight end Noah Fant (ankle) also returns. We'll have a better idea of Hamler's status when practices start up Wednesday, and the speedy…read more

    Hamler (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: The rookie second-round pick was initially ruled out for the matchup with New England when it was scheduled for Week 5, and he still won't be available for the rescheduled date Sunday. DaeSean Hamilton is likely to see increased offensive snaps in Hamler's absence.

    Hamler (hamstring) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

  • Ruled out for Week 5

    Head coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that Hamler (hamstring) won't be available to play in the Broncos' Week 5 game against New England, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Though the Broncos will benefit from a longer turnaround between games after playing Thursday in Week 4, Hamler won't be able to move past the hamstring injury he sustained in the 37-28 win over the Jets before Sunday arrives. He was at least able to work out on the side during Tuesday's practice, which bodes well for his chances at avoiding a lengthy absence. With Hamler sidelined for at least Week 5, DaeSean Hamilton is the top candidate to join Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick in three-receiver…read more

    Hamler (hamstring) worked out on a side field during Tuesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hamler exited Thursday's game against the Jets early with a hamstring injury, which was quite concerning after he battled a hamstring issue during training camp and missed Week 1 as a result. It's somewhat encouraging that he's working out in some capacity, and we'll have a better idea of his recovery when the Broncos release their first injury report of the week Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hamler made a big 17-yard catch up the middle late in the second quarter, setting up Denver's lone touchdown of the game. Hamler was supposed to have a relatively quiet rookie season, but the injury to Courtland Sutton (ACL) has opened up some solid opportunities. The quality of those opportunities, however, is suspect. Until Drew Lock (throwing shoulder) returns, Hamler will be catching passes from Blake Bortles, Brett Rypien, or Jeff Driskel -- who struggled mightily Sunday. Without much at…read more

  • Should maintain consistent role

    Hamler should start for the Broncos in three-wide sets with Courtland Sutton (torn ACL) ruled out for the season, Ben Swanson of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Hamler actually finished with more offensive snaps (62 percent) and the same number of targets (seven) as rookie first-rounder Jerry Jeudy in Week 2, and he finished with three receptions for 48 yards. With Sutton done for the season, there's room for both players along with Tim Patrick in three-wide sets. Hamler's a speedy, versatile receiver who the Broncos can move around the formation, and they made need to get creative with Hamler with Jeff Driskel under center, as QB Drew Lock (shoulder)…read more

  • Makes three catches in debut

    Hamler caught three of seven targets for 48 yards and carried one time for nine yards during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Hamler finally made his NFL debut after recovering from a hamstring injury and finished tied for the team lead in targets. He made a couple of flashy plays, including a nifty nine-yard carry, but he struggled to get open at times against a talented Pittsburgh defense. Hamler saw plenty of looks from Jeff Driskel, who replaced Drew Lock (shoulder) early on, so he should be used similarly in next Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers.

    Hamler (hamstring) is not listed among Denver's inactives for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, per the Broncos official Twitter account.

    Analysis: The second-round rookie was unable to suit up for the Broncos' Monday night game against the Titans, but he now readies for his NFL debut against the vaunted Steelers defense. With Courtland Sutton back in the lineup after sitting out Week 1 due to a shoulder injury, Hamler fits into the rotation as a depth option.

    Coach Vic Fangio said Friday that he expects Hamler to play "some" during Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hamler resumed practicing without limitations this week, but it looks like he may still be feeling residual effects from the hamstring injury that hampered him for nearly a month. It's also possible that despite now being back to full health, Hamler will need a bit of time to catch up after missing a substantial portion of training camp. In any case, considering that Hamler will also need to fight for targets behind Jerry Jeudy, Noah Fant and potentially Courtland Sutton (shoulder), the rookie…read more

If he's indeed a full participant Wednesday, Hamler will make his NFL debut Sunday versus the Steelers, barring a setback.

There was speculation that the rookie second-round pick could miss up to a month, and at the very least the injury will delay his professional debut.

    Hamler (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Titans, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: It's a bit surprising Hamler didn't receive a doubtful designation considering coach Vic Fangio suggested the rookie wideout was less likely to play than teammate Courtland Sutton (shoulder), but regardless of the specific designation it's hard to imagine the Broncos will really press the issue with their 2020 third-round pick.

    Analysis: Hamler has been a limited practice participant both Thursday and Friday. He continues to work back from a hamstring injury he suffered in the middle of training camp, and the fact that he has been able to practice is promising for his ability to contribute during his rookie season.

    Analysis: Hamler continues to progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury that plagued him throughout training camp. It's encouraging to see that the rookie second-round pick has already resumed practicing, albeit in a limited capacity, though his status for Monday's contest against the Titans remains uncertain.

    Coach Vic Fangio said Tuesday that Hamler (hamstring) is "highly questionable" for Monday's tilt against the Titans, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Hamler missed a substantial portion of training camp due to a hamstring injury, though Fangio expressed optimism that the rookie second-round pick could resume running this week, per Stevens. The fact that Hamler isn't a candidate for injured reserve hints that the Broncos are confident he'll be healthy in under three weeks, though his status for Week 1 remains up in the air.

    Coach John Elway said Saturday that Hamler (hamstring) is not a candidate for IR, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: "Hopefully [Hamler] starts running around this week," Elway added. The Broncos would be able to activate Hamler from IR after a minimum of three weeks, as long as his placement occurs Monday or later, so the fact that such a move isn't being considered could be a hint that the rookie speedster isn't expected to be out that long. If Hamler were to miss Sept. 14's opener against the Titans, Tim Patrick and DaeSean Hamilton would be candidates to handle extra responsibilities.

    Analysis: It's a small step forward for the rookie, who has been out of practice for the past two weeks and isn't a lock to be ready for the season opener. Even if he's active, Hamler won't necessarily have a big role, with the Broncos potentially using Tim Patrick or DaeSean Hamilton as the No. 3 receiver.

  • Working with trainers

    Hamler (hamstring) worked on a side field with trainers Friday morning, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: The hamstring injury was first reported Wed., Aug. 19, with a subsequent report suggesting the rookie could be out for up to a month. Hamler at least appears to be showing some sign of progress, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be available for Week 1 against the Titans. For now, it's best to view him as questionable for that contest, while Tim Patrick and DaeSean Hamilton are the top candidates to handle the No. 3 receiver job behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy.

  • Could miss a month

    Hamler (hamstring) could be out for a month, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: The hamstring injury was first reported Wednesday, with coach Vic Fangio saying Hamler would be sidelined for a couple of weeks. An unnamed source is now hinting at a longer absence, which might jeopardize the rookie's availability for Week 1 against the Titans. Even if he makes it back for the opener, Hamler may have missed out on his chance to enter the season with a top-three role. The Broncos also have Tim Patrick and DaeSean Hamilton competing for snaps behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry…read more

  • Injures hamstring

    A hamstring injury will sideline Hamler for a "couple of weeks," according to coach Vic Fangio, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: While it's less than optimal that the second-rounder will miss a decent chunk of practice reps at this stage of an unprecedented offseason, it does sound like he should be back before Week 1. Once healthy, Hamler will compete for targets behind Denver's top wideouts, Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy.

  • Makes 'catch of the day'

    Hamler made the play of the day at Broncos practice Friday with a diving catch down the sideline, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Fans are entitled to excitement about what Hamler's electrifying 4.3 speed can do out of the slot in 2020. To be anything more than a decoy, however, Hamler is going to need to improve his catching technique after posting an abysmal 14 percent drop rate during his two seasons at Penn State. Wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni has extensive experience working with young receivers from his time as a collegiate coach, and while it's just one play, early reports out of practice are justifying fans'…read more
