Fingers crossed: Dulcich nearing return from foot injury

The talented but oft-injured tight end underwent foot surgery early in the offseason. Perhaps, like Julius Thomas before him, Dulcich will break out in year three.Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich takes the field for player introductions against the Arizona Cardinals during an NFL football game Sunday, Dec. 18, 2022, in Denver. ENGLEWOOD, Colo — For clarity, it wasn’t the long-troubled hamstring that has kept tight end Greg Dulcich away from offseason practices.

Dulcich was spotted working out on the Broncos’ side field during team’s OTA practice Thursday and there’s a chance he can join his teammates on the practice field before the offseason program concludes June 13. The Broncos’ third-round draft pick out of UCLA in 2022, Dulcich has battled hamstring problems through his first two NFL seasons. He had seemed to get his hamstring healed enough to begin practicing last Dec. 13, 2023 with fingers crossed he could help the Broncos in their final three games.After Dulcich consulted with multiple foot specialists, surgery was the recommended course. Since Day 1, Dulcich has done everything asked of him according to those close to his situation.

Dulcich displayed tantalizing talent in 10 games as a rookie, recording 33 catches for 411 yards and two touchdowns. But he finished that season on injured reserve with his recurring hamstring issue. He bounced back to become the star of the Broncos' 2023 offseason, but he went down in the season opener against the Raiders with a hamstring strain. Just as hamstring was deemed healed in mid-December, his foot developed a problem.
