Overview
- Both elevations are for Thursday only and the players will revert to the practice squad on Friday under league rules.
- It is Lewis’s second elevation and Taylor’s first this season, with a three-elevation limit per player in place.
- With tight end Nate Adkins sidelined, Lewis fills the No. 3 tight end role, and Taylor supplies cornerback depth as Pat Surtain remains out with a pec injury.
- Denver also promoted wide receiver Michael Bandy to the active roster, and with Marvin Mims in concussion protocol he is expected to handle punt returns, according to local reporting.
- Lewis, 41, recently became the oldest player to appear in a regular-season game for the Broncos after joining the practice squad late last month.
