Broncos Revamp Roster Ahead of Week 11 Clash with Chiefs

The Broncos have revamped their roster as they prepare for their Week 11 game against the Chiefs. This significant reshaping includes activating linebacker Garret Wallow and promoting cornerback Reese Taylor from the practice squad.

Roster Updates for Week 11

Denver placed running back J.K. Dobbins on injured reserve and waived wide receiver Trent Sherfield Sr. These strategic moves align with the upcoming matchup against the Chiefs.

Key Player Activations

  • Garret Wallow: Activated from injured reserve. Wallow was a full participant in practice this week. He is eligible to return after being placed on IR before Week 7.
  • Reese Taylor: Promoted from the practice squad after making his season debut in Week 10 against the Raiders.
  • Marcedes Lewis and Jordan Turner: Elevated for the Week 11 clash, both players are expected to enhance the Broncos’ performance.

Injury Report

J.K. Dobbins, who ranks fifth in rushing in the NFL, suffered an injury against the Raiders. Consequently, he has been ruled out for Sunday’s game. Trent Sherfield, who has participated in all games this season, had three receptions and contributed to special teams.

Impact of Player Changes

Wallow has played 63% of Denver’s special teams snaps this season. Taylor played 80% of special teams snaps in his first appearance last week. Lewis, who joined the practice squad prior to Week 9, has reached the limit for elevations and played 21% of offensive snaps in his two games. Turner made his sole regular-season appearance in Week 8, playing 53% of special teams snaps.

The Broncos will compete against the Chiefs on Sunday at 2:25 p.m. MT, with the game broadcasted on CBS.
