Denver rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy once again saw his production dip this week, after catching only one pass for 5 yards against the Chiefs on Sunday. 

Jeudy didn’t catch a pass the prior week against the Saints, though it was hardly his fault, as the Broncos played without a quarterback and only threw the ball nine times. Jeudy has been dealing with a minor ankle injury and has mostly been limited in practice because of it. 

Still, coach Vic Fangio said the injury is not holding Jeudy back. 

“No, he’s nicked a little bit,” Fangio said. “He’s not 100%, but just the way the game went, I think we only completed 14 balls. I think we threw it in the low 20s.”

Here’s how the Broncos’ rookies performed in Week 12:
