Jeudy, 23, was Denver's first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and finished his rookie season with 52 receptions, 856 receiving yards, and three touchdowns. An ankle injury kept him out of action for a chunk of his second season, and he finished 2021 with 38 receptions for 467 yards with zero touchdowns.

Earlier in the offseason, the Broncos acquired nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson in a blockbuster trade with the Seattle Seahawks. With Wilson added to the fold, there are high expectations for the Broncos' receiving duo of Jeudy and Courtland Sutton.

"He's a great quarterback, Hall of Fame quarterback that came into the offense as a leader and [is] getting me better as well," Jeudy said of Wilson earlier this month. "So he's going to help me a lot this year."

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Broncos are aware of the situation and gathering more information.
