Okung's Injury History Makes Him High-Risk Signing

There's no denying the talent Okung brings to the line, both in pass and run protection. However, his health is a significant concern. 

The 28-year-old has missed at least one game in each of his six seasons in the league, and has missed two or more in five of those six seasons. It's unclear at this point what impact those injuries will have on his long-term future in the league, but it's clear from this new deal the Broncos were willing to take the chance on him. If he can avoid the injured list, expect him to help stabilize a porous Broncos line next season and beyond.
