Broncos DL Matt Henningsen tears Achilles

Broncos defensive lineman Matt Henningsen, who was carted off at Friday’s practice, was diagnosed with a torn Achilles, Mike Klis of 9News reports. Henningsen’s injury came exactly one year to the day when he tore his other Achilles in a joint practice against the 49ers.

It means Henningsen will miss a second consecutive season.

The Broncos selected Henningsen in the sixth round of the 2022 draft, and he played in every game in his first two seasons. He spent all of 2024 on the team’s practice squad and then was on injured reserve all of last season.

The Broncos also saw wide receiver Marvin Mims go down, but Klis reports that the Broncos are hopeful that Mims’ injury is not serious.

Tight end Nate Adkins also left practice early.
