The Denver Broncos have released an updated depth chart in anticipation of their upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. While there are no significant alterations this week, a couple of notable transactions happened just before the chart was published. The team waived wide receiver and returner Michael Bandy, while signing offensive tackle Geron Christian. Christian’s inclusion on the depth chart is a projection, as the moves were made prior to its release, and Bandy has been removed from the roster in those positions.
The Broncos officially label this depth chart as “unofficial,” suggesting that it serves as a general guideline rather than a rigid outline of player roles. Head coach Sean Payton’s preferences shape the chart, but some positions may differ from what is reflected.
In the quarterback section, Sam Ehlinger remains on the practice squad. The running back unit continues to face concerns, particularly regarding J.K. Dobbins, who might miss time with a foot injury. The team, however, has Deuce Vaughn available on the practice squad as a potential option.
At tight end and fullback, Evan Engram leads, supported by Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins, though it’s worth noting that Adkins is presently sidelined with a knee injury. Marcedes Lewis has been stepping in during his absence.
The wide receiver lineup features Courtland Sutton and Franklin as the top two receivers, with rookie Marvin Mims and Bryant rotating in the mix. There is ample depth on the offensive line, with Garett Bolles and new signing Geron Christian listed among the tackles.
On defense, the depth chart showcases a strong defensive line combination including Zach Allen and D.J. Jones. Outside linebacker Robinson has shown promise, contributing to the team’s sack count, while inside linebacker Alex Singleton, who recently had surgery for testicular cancer, is on the path to recovery.
In the secondary, Patrick Surtain has missed the past two games due to a pectoral injury, creating opportunities for others to step up. The safety positions are predominantly occupied by players who have primarily participated on special teams this season.
As for special teams, kicker Wil Lutz, punter Jeremy Crawshaw, and long snapper Mitchell Fraboni continue to serve pivotal roles, with the return of Marvin Mims, who is expected back from concussion protocol for Week 11.
Fans are encouraged to keep an eye on the roster changes as the Broncos prepare for a challenging matchup against the Chiefs, with hopes for enhanced performance from both new and returning players.
