Denver Broncos defensive lineman Matt Henningsen sustained a torn Achilles and was carted off the field during Friday's practice, multiple media outlets reported.

Henningsen, 27, will miss his second straight season after tearing his other Achilles exactly one year to the day of Friday's injury.

He totaled 40 tackles and one sack while playing in all 17 games during his first two seasons. He was selected by the Broncos in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Wisconsin.

Henningsen spent all of 2024 on the practice squad.
