Broncos have 4 wide receivers available on the practice squad
The Broncos have four wide receivers available on their practice squad as they consider their depth at the position.
As the Denver Broncos adjust to life without injured wide receiver Pat Bryant due to ankle concerns, they currently field four healthy wide receivers on their active roster: Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Marvin Mims. Sutton and Waddle are expected to lead the team, while Mims and Franklin may see more playing time in Bryant's absence.
Denver may also choose to promote a receiver from their practice squad to bolster their wide receiving corps. The practice squad roster includes Lil Jordan Humphrey, Michael Bandy, Kolbe Katsis, and Dane Key. Humphrey, who was recently moved down from the active roster, appears to be the most likely candidate for promotion. Bandy has proven himself as a reliable punt returner, while Katsis showed promise returning kicks during his recent promotion to the game-day roster.
Key, an unproven rookie, has yet to make his NFL debut. Considering the limited availability of practice squad receivers and the potential need for roster adjustments, it seems most probable that Denver would call up Humphrey if Pat Bryant remains sidelined for an extended period. The Broncos will likely finalize their decisions closer to the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
