Broncos Promote Mitchell Fraboni and Elevate Two Practice-Squad Players for Week 3

The roster moves create immediate game-day depth while forcing near-term decisions because NFL elevation limits mean one player must be signed to the 53-man roster to play again.

Overview

  • The Denver Broncos promoted veteran long snapper Mitchell Fraboni from the practice squad to the 53-man roster after placing rookie running back Jonah Coleman on short-term injured reserve, the team announced Saturday.
  • Denver elevated fullback Adam Prentice and undrafted wide receiver/returner Kolbe Katsis to the Week 3 game-day roster for Sunday Night Football and both players will revert to the practice squad on Monday unless signed to the active roster.
  • Prentice has now reached the NFL limit of three practice-squad elevations for the season which means he must be signed to the 53-man roster to play again this year.
  • Katsis was elevated with Marvin Mims Jr. listed as questionable, positioning the undrafted rookie to handle kick and punt return duties if Mims is unavailable on Sunday night.
  • The Broncos used a prior strategy of adding specialists to the practice squad during final cuts to preserve 53-man flexibility and these moves signal the team may make more permanent roster changes soon to cover specialist and depth roles.
