Broncos’ projected depth chart with practice squad players included

The Denver Broncos released their updated depth chart for Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season on Wednesday afternoon.

There were no big surprises (Jarrett Stidham getting the QB2 nod over Zach Wilson is not a big surprise), but there were two interesting names included.

Broncos fullback Michael Burton and wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey both made the depth chart despite currently being on the 17-player practice squad. That’s likely a good sign that they will be elevated to the game-day roster for Sunday’s showdown with the Seattle Seahawks.

So, what would the depth chart look like if all of the practice squad players were included? And how about the injured players who could return later this year? You can check out our projection below.

Keep in mind that this is a projection — not an official depth chart.
