The Denver Broncos lost the opening coin toss and the Los Angeles Chargers deferred possession to the second half. It would be Bo Nix and the Broncos offense up first. They opened up with back-to-back runs to J.K. Dobbins that gained a total of one yard. Nix would find Lil’Jordan Humphrey outside just shy of […]

The Broncos ruled out both of their starting cornerbacks for Sunday’s game against the Chargers. Pat Surtain II (ankle) and Riley Moss (ribs) were both injured in last weekend’s loss to the 49ers. Neither player took part in practice this week. Wide receiver Pat Bryant also missed practice all week with an ankle injury and the Broncos confirmed that he’s been placed on injured reserve. He’ll have to miss at least four games before he’ll be eligible to return to action. The Broncos filled Bryant’s roster spot by signing wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey off of their practice squad. Humphrey has appeared in one game this season. Denver also announce that they have signed defensive back Ugo Amadi to their practice squad

The Denver Broncos inactives against the Los Angeles Rams were: QB Sam Ehlinger, WR Marvin Mims Jr., DL Sai’vion Jones, TE Dallen Bentley, OL Kage Casey, WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey, and DT Tyler Onyedim. Jones being inactive is a change since he played 33 and 21 snaps on defense in the first two games. The other […]
Rams and Broncos to face key receiver injuries on Sunday night
Sleeper status change for Lil'Jordan Humphrey (5938). Before: status=Active, injury_status=—. After: status=Active, injury_status=Out
The Denver Broncos are a bit banged up after a blowout loss last week with both wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. and running back RJ Harvey ruled out for this game and both are inactive. Not ideal entering a must-win situation at home against a strong Jacksonville Jaguars team. With Mims out, Lil’Jordan Humphrey will […]

The Broncos released wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey on Monday, the team announced. Multiple reports say it’s a procedural move, and Humphrey will re-sign with the team this week. He would have been inactive for Monday night’s game against the Chiefs. The Broncos’ wide receivers for tonight are Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin. The team also announced the elevations of long snapper Mitchell Fraboni and fullback Adam Prentice from the practice squad to the game-day roster. Fraboni, who is entering his fifth season with the Broncos, has appeared in 55 regular-season games and three postseason contests throughout his time in Denver. Prentice, a sixth-year player, appeared in all 17 regular-season games during his first season with the Broncos in 2025. He made three starts. Prentice — who played 19 percent of the Broncos’ offensive snaps and 45 percent of the team’s special teams snaps during the regular season — also appeared in both postseason games for Denver

Despite a strong training camp and praise from coaches, Denver Broncos WR Pat Bryant is listed as second-string on the team's unofficial depth chart. He is behind Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, and Marvin Mims Jr., but ahead of Troy Franklin and Lil'Jordan Humphrey. Bryant has shown promise with his hands, run-after-catch ability, and versatility, even catching a touchdown during a first-team period
Lil’Jordan Humphrey enters training camp as reliable veteran depth
According to NFL Network’s league insider Mike Garafolo, the Denver Broncos are signing veteran UFL wide receiver and reigning Offensive Player of the Year Hakeem Butler in advance of their mandatory minicamp, which starts this week. Butler is a former 4th-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals who has bounced around the NFL for a bit before having stints in the CFL, XFL, and most recently, the UFL. He has played for the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers , Philadelphia Eagles , BC Lions (CFL), Edmonton Elks(CFL), St. Louis Battlehawks (XFL), Pittsburgh Steelers , Cincinnati Bengals , and the St. Louis Battlehawks again (UFL), before now signing with the Denver Broncos. Butler is a 30-year-old wide receiver coming off a UFL season where he totaled 29 catches for 641 yards and is a 2x UFL Offensive Player of the Year. He is listed at 6-5, 242 pounds and will now compete for a roster spot on the Denver Broncos roster. This is an interesting signing for the Broncos. Butler is a veteran wide receiver and 30 years old, but his production at the UFL is intriguing. Sure, it’s against lower competition, but he has good size, good speed, and has some impressive YAC plays. Those will be harder to do in the NFL naturally, but this is an intriguing addition to the Broncos’ wide receiver room. They have had success with Dondrea Tillman coming from the UFL to the Broncos and becoming a key backup on their defense, so maybe they can find something here in Butler. If Butler wants to make the Broncos’ 53-man roster or at least their practice squad, he will have to beat out some tough competition. Jaylen Waddle , Courtland Sutton , Pat Bryant , Troy Franklin , and Marvin Mims Jr. all seem locked into roster spots, with Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Michael Bandy being their veteran backups the coaching staff seems to like. Then you have UDFA’s Dane Key , Joseph Manjack IV, Cameron Ross, and Kolbe Katsis, as well as veteran Michael Woods, all fighting for a spot on the Broncos practice squad. So, it won’t be easy for Butler to crack the Broncos roster, but the size, speed, athleticism, and talent are there, and he has a chance to be a surprise for the Broncos. No corresponding move has been announced as of yet, so when that happens, we will update this story with that information
Humphrey started the 2025 season with the Giants, but Denver poached him off New York's practice squad Week 11 to provide depth behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Marvin Mims. Across a total of 10 regular-season appearances in 2025, Humphrey totaled 13 catches for 156 yards and one score. The Broncos' decision to trade for Jaylen Waddle adds a new unquestioned starter to what was already a crowded WR corps, however, providing Humphrey with a difficult path to secure a reserve role
The Denver Broncos signed undrafted free agent Kolbe Katsis, a speedy WR/KR from Northern Arizona. Katsis faces a tough battle for a 53-man roster spot or practice squad position due to the Broncos' stacked wide receiver room, but his return ability could help him stand out

At the conclusion of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos agreed to terms with a total of 13 undrafted free agents to go along with their seven draft picks. One of those undrafted free agents was TCU wide receiver Joseph Manjack IV. Manjack IV is a 6-2, 197-pound wide receiver with 4.51 speed and a 36.5-inch vertical jump who started his college career at USC before playing at Houston for three seasons and then this past year at TCU. During his college career, he appeared in 50 games and totaled 134 receptions for 1,732 yards and 13 touchdowns. This past year for TCU, Manjack IV appeared in 13 games and totaled 44 receptions for 579 yards and 3 touchdowns. Now, he joins a loaded Broncos wide receiver room where he has very low odds of cracking the 53-man roster. The reality of the situation is that he is competing with veterans Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Michael Bandy for a spot on their 16-man practice squad, and history shows that those two will be tough to replace. Sean Payton and the Broncos coaching staff trust those two, and they are the current favorites to be the wide receivers on the Broncos’ practice squad. Joseph Manjack IV | Wide Receiver | Denver Broncos Height: 6-2 Weight: 197 pounds Arm Length: 31 1/4 inches Hand Size: 9 1/8 inches Experience: Rookie 40-time: 4.51 seconds Vertical Jump: 36.5 inches Short Shuttle: 4.15 seconds 3-Cone Drill: 6.84 seconds Bench Press: 9 reps The reality of the situation is that it’s going to be tough for him to stick around. Looking at the roster currently, Jaylen Waddle , Courtland Sutton , Marvin Mims , Troy Franklin , and Pat Bryant are locked into roster spots. After that, Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Michael Bandy have been the veteran depth on the roster for multiple years now. Many UDFA wide receivers have come and gone, while these veterans have stuck around. Forget the 53-man because that’s highly unlikely. Manjack IV and the rest of the Broncos undrafted rookies will be competing with Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Michael Bandy for a spot on the Broncos 16-man practice squad. Those two have the clear edge because they know the offense and have the trust of the coaching staff. Hell, LJH made a key play in the Broncos Divisional Round victory over the Bills, and Bandy scored a touchdown during their victory over the Packers late in the year. Taking either of these spots on the team will be difficult. Manjack IV will need to show he can be a trusted wide receiver and contribute in other ways on the team. LJH is known for his blocking and has made some key plays for the team as a wide receiver. Bandy is your prototypical slot receiver who is a savvy route runner who can contribute as a returner as well. Manjack IV will likely need to show he can be a reliable wide receiver, route runner, and special teamer if he wants to make the team. It will be tough, but Manjack IV does have traits that Sean Payton typically looks for in a player. He’s sure-handed, known for his blocking, has decent size, and has the character/work ethic they value. It will be tough, but Manjack IV will have the opportunity to impress the Broncos coaches throughout the offseason and during training camp and preseason. It will be tough for Manjack IV or any of the undrafted wide receivers the Broncos signed to stick around. Barring multiple injuries or surprise trades, there really isn’t a spot on the 53-man roster for them, and as I mentioned, Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Michael Bandy will be tough to replace as the preferred depth options. Manjack IV will need to have a strong summer if he wants to stick around. Obviously, making plays as a wide receiver helps, but his ability to block and contribute on special teams might be more important for him. Being able to contribute in multiple ways will significantly improve his chances of making the practice squad and force the Broncos to find a way to keep him. It will be tough, but not impossible. Manjack IV has the traits the team typically likes in a pla [... truncated ...]
