Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt has experienced soreness in his left knee and will undergo a minor knee procedure to repair the issue, according to James Palmer of NFL Network.

The pain is occurring in the same knee in which Butt suffered his most recent torn ACL. He has torn his ACL three times in his playing career.

Butt, who played his collegiate football at the University of Michigan, was originally selected by the Broncos in the fifth round (145th pick overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.

He was expected to be drafted much higher, but his stock dropped due to a torn ACL he suffered during his senior year. As a result of that injury, Butt was placed on the non-football injury list heading into his rookie campaign. Denver then placed Butt on the injured reserve list for the remainder of the season in November.

The 24-year-old then seemed healthy and ready to go for 2018 and played the first three games of the season, catching eight passes for 85 yards before sustaining yet another torn ACL.

He proceeded to have a setback in training camp this summer, and obviously, the problem has not gotten any better.

Meanwhile, the Broncos are coming off of a season in which they won just six games, marking the first time Denver had posted back-to-back losing seasons since 1972, a truly incredible feat.

The Broncos have also not made the playoffs since the 2015 campaign when they last won the Super Bowl. At that time, Denver had made five straight postseason appearances.
