The Denver Broncos have released an updated depth chart ahead of a Sunday Night Football showdown with the Washington Commanders in Week 13.
The Broncos made a host of roster moves before their bye, including adding wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey and offensive lineman Geron Christian, as well as promoting cornerback Reese Taylor from the practice squad to the active roster and releasing receiver Trent Sherfield. Following those transactions (and more), Denver has updated this week’s depth chart.
Fans should note that while it comes straight from the team, the Broncos still call this an “unofficial” depth chart, so it should be taken with a grain of salt. With that in mind, here’s a look at the team’s depth chart ahead of Week 13.
Quarterback (2)
Denver also has Sam Ehlinger on the practice squad.
Running back (3)
Denver also has Deuce Vaughn available on the practice squad.
Tight end/fullback (4)
Marcedes Lewis was elevated from the practice squad for the last three games while Adkins was sidelined with a knee injury. We’ll see if Adkins is able to return in time for SNF.
Wide receiver (5)
The Broncos cut Trent Sherfield last week, replacing him with Lil’Jordan Humphrey, a familiar face.
Offensive line (8)
- LT: Garett Bolles, Geron Christian
- LG: Alex Palczewski, Calvin Throckmorton
- C: Luke Wattenberg, Alex Forsyth
- RG: Quinn Meinerz, Alex Palczewski
- RT: Mike McGlinchey, Frank Crum,
Palczewski is also listed as the backup right guard despite starting at left guard. In reality, if Denver needed another guard to step in, Throckmorton would presumably be the top backup for both spots.
Defensive line (7)
- DE: Zach Allen, Jordan Jackson
- DT: D.J. Jones, Malcolm Roach
- DE: John Franklin-Myers, Eyioma Uwazurike, Sai’vion Jones
Roach is perhaps one of the best “backup” defensive linemen in the NFL.
Outside linebacker (5)
Que Robinson has made four appearances so far this season, totaling a half-sack on 105 snaps.
Inside linebacker (5)
Alex Singleton underwent successful surgery for testicular cancer after Week 10, and Justin Strnad started in his place last week. Denver’s optimistic that Singleton will be able to return in Week 13.
Cornerback (5)
Surtain missed the last three games with a pectoral injury. Barron is listed as the backup behind Surtain, but Abrams-Draine has received a majority of the snaps in that spot while Barron rotates in.
Safety (5)
Key, Skinner and Locke have played almost exclusively on special teams this season.
Special teams (3)
- K: Wil Lutz
- P: Jeremy Crawshaw
- LS: Mitchell Fraboni
- KR: Marvin Mims, Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Badie
- PR: Marvin Mims, Riley Moss
After missing two games while in concussion protocol, Mims made a big impact in his return to action, returning three punts for 101 yards in a 22-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11.
