Overview
- Denver made the Oct. 8 designation, opening his return window without yet adding him to the 53-man roster.
- Roach practiced after the move, and Sean Payton said he "had good work today."
- Under NFL rules, the team has 21 days to activate him or he reverts to season-ending injured reserve.
- An activation in the coming days could make him available for the Week 6 game in London against the Jets.
- The 27-year-old is returning from a grade-two calf strain after a career-best 2024, and his activation would count toward the Broncos’ eight IR-return slots, with one already used for Drew Sanders.
