Green Has Struggled to Stay Healthy in '16 

The seventh-round pick has been with the Broncos since 2011, playing sparingly over the majority of his first five seasons in the league.

Green finished 2015 with career highs in both catches (12) and receiving yards (173).

However, the 6'3", 248-pound athlete finally found a role within the offense in 2016. He had seven catches for 74 yards in the first two weeks, better than most seasons in his career alone. Unfortunately, a calf injury kept him out for about a month, and his playing time was inconsistent upon returning.
