Overview
- The Denver Broncos announced on Sunday that guard Nick Gargiulo was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list and inside linebacker Jordan Turner was placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list.
- Gargiulo tore his ACL in the 2025 preseason, missed that season, and local reporting says he is expected to remain on PUP into the regular season which weakens his immediate roster outlook.
- The team has not disclosed the reason for Turner’s NFI designation and his recovery timeline remains unknown, which temporarily removes him from the inside-linebacker competition.
- Both players still count against the 91-man offseason roster and can be activated during training camp once they pass a physical and are medically cleared.
- With most of the roster healthy otherwise, Turner’s absence gives Karene Reid, Lavelle Bailey, Red Murdock and Taurean York an opening to compete for backup snaps and could prompt the Broncos to add experienced depth if the situation lingers.
