Overview
- The Broncos signed running back Jaret Patterson, defensive lineman Jordan Miller and cornerback Ugo Amadi to the practice squad and released wide receivers Cam Ross and Eli Pancol, a set of transactions announced Tuesday.
- Patterson joins Cody Schrader on the practice squad to provide backfield insurance behind J.K. Dobbins and Jonah Coleman after the team was left with only two healthy active running backs.
- Tyler Badie remains on injured reserve with a Week 12 return window and RJ Harvey is eligible to come back in Week 13, timelines that shaped Denver’s short-term roster moves.
- Amadi’s return is a second stint with the Broncos and Miller brings prior practice-squad familiarity with Denver, reflecting the team’s reliance on veteran and fringe players for quick depth.
- Practice-squad signings allow the Broncos to elevate players for games if needed, a tool they are likely to use before the Week 9 trip to Carolina and through the team’s Week 10 bye.
