The Facts: The Broncos announced they had released Dreessen with a failed physical designation Tuesday.
Diehards Line:Dreessen caught 41 passes for the Broncos two years ago, but only caught seven passes last year as Julius Thomas flourished as a target for more catches. Dreessen had three operations on his left knee in the span of a year, and battled through problems with that joint this offseason. Now he'll be scrambling for work.
