The Denver Broncos faced three of their former players when they went on the road to take on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1.
This week, Denver will face two more ex-Broncos, mostly notably including quarterback Russell Wilson (although his game status is still uncertain).
The other former Denver player now in Pittsburgh is punter Corliss Waitman, who joined the Steelers earlier this week after they lost Cameron Johnston to a season-ending knee injury.
Waitman, 29, handled punting duties for the Broncos in 2022. He has spent time with six NFL teams and this marks his third stint with the Steelers.
Wilson, 35, played in Denver from 2022-2023. The Broncos went 11-19 with Wison as a starter. Wilson was sacked 100 times, threw 19 interceptions and fumbled six times in 30 games with Denver before being released this spring.
Wilson sat out Pittsburgh’s season opener against the Atlanta Falcons with a calf injury. Justin Fields started in last week’s 18-10 win and Fields will start against the Broncos if Wilson is not cleared to play ahead of Week 2.
Denver’s game against the Steelers will be regionally televised on CBS. The Broncos are considered a betting underdog despite playing at home.
