Overview
- Denver added 41-year-old tight end Marcedes Lewis to the gameday roster for the Texans, with coaches citing his blocking and leadership.
- The Broncos elevated wide receiver and returner Michael Bandy as Marvin Mims remains out with a concussion.
- Cornerback Pat Surtain II (pec) and tight end Nate Adkins (knee) were not placed on injured reserve, keeping open the possibility of earlier returns despite occupying roster spots.
- Denver is still assessing tight end options before the Nov. 4, 4 p.m. ET deadline, with reporting linking names such as Mark Andrews, David Njoku and Chig Okonkwo as potential trade targets.
- Evaluations extend to other positions, including offensive guard with Ben Powers sidelined, and the Week 9 game against Houston is viewed as a factor in shaping deadline decisions.
