Broncos Activate Ben Powers, Hold Justin Strnad Off IR Before Week 16

Denver signaled short-term optimism on injured LB Justin Strnad by withholding an IR move.

Overview

  • Starting guard Ben Powers was activated from injured reserve and is expected to be eased back with a managed snap count.
  • Inside linebacker Justin Strnad was ruled out for the Jaguars game with a foot injury but was not placed on injured reserve.
  • Linebacker Karene Reid was downgraded to out, leaving Dre Greenlaw, Alex Singleton and Jordan Turner as the available inside linebackers on the 53-man roster.
  • Quarterback Sam Ehlinger and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell were elevated from the practice squad for game-day depth, with Ehlinger serving as the emergency third quarterback.
  • Turner-Yell is set for his first game action since late 2023 after an ACL injury, and Calvin Throckmorton rejoined Denver on the practice squad after clearing waivers.
