2026 Outlook
Michael Deiter, an offensive lineman for the Denver Broncos, suffered a quad injury during practice in early August 2026 that landed him on season-ending injured reserve. The 28-year-old veteran had seen time as a starter in Miami and Houston but was trending toward a bottom-of-the-depth-chart option in Denver. His season-ending placement to IR cost the Broncos depth, prompting them to add undrafted veteran Lecitus Smith to the roster. Smith, 28, has seen time in 19 games across stints with the Cardinals, Patriots, and Packers (per Minor NFL Transactions: 8/13/26). Deiter's injury and IR status removes him from 2026 fantasy consideration.
