The Denver Broncos have elevated two players from the practice squad to the game-day roster for their Week 2 showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Broncos called up wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey and running back Tyler Badie on Saturday afternoon. Badie and Humphrey will revert back to the practice squad on Monday.
Players can be elevated up to three times during the season without having to clear waivers to return to the practice squad. This marks the second straight week that Humphrey has been called up, so he only has one more free elevation remaining in 2024. This is Badie’s first elevation of 2024.
Humphrey is the team’s only practice player listed on the depth chart and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him end up on the 53-man roster later this season.
The Broncos’ game against the Steelers will be regionally televised on CBS and available to stream on fuboTV (try it free) for in-market fans. Denver is considered a betting underdog despite playing at home.
