If it wasn't for bad luck, the 2020 Denver Broncos wouldn't have any luck at all.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported on Monday that Denver defensive tackle Jurrell Casey suffered a torn biceps in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 30-year-old will likely miss the rest of the season.

As Rapoport noted, it's yet another harsh blow for the 0-3 Broncos that can't stumble upon good fortune this fall.

The #Broncos have lost Von Miller and Courtland Sutton for the season, and now likely Jurrell Casey — who they traded for. Meanwhile, AJ Bouye, Mark Barron, Dre’Mont Jones and Justin Strnad are all on IR… and Drew Lock is out with an injury. Just brutal luck in Denver. https://t.co/japsSEURGy

Casey joined the Broncos via a trade with the Tennessee Titans in March. Previously, he played for the Titans each season from 2011 through 2019 and made five consecutive Pro Bowl squads starting in 2015. Across three games with Denver, Casey tallied 14 total tackles and three passes defended.

Casey is signed through 2022.
