Broncos Re-Sign Lil'Jordan Humphrey From Giants' Practice Squad Before Chiefs Visit

Coaches highlighted his football IQ to justify immediate roles on offense, special teams.

Overview

  • Denver completed the signing this week, bringing back a receiver who played for Sean Payton in New Orleans and with the Broncos in 2023–24 after a brief stint with the Giants.
  • Humphrey is expected to be active Sunday against Kansas City with assignments on special teams and in offensive packages.
  • Sean Payton and coordinator Joe Lombardi praised Humphrey’s versatility and blocking, noting the staff knows exactly what it will get from him.
  • Analysts suggest the move targets run-game support and short-pass execution with J.K. Dobbins’ status uncertain, and they expect Humphrey to climb the depth chart quickly.
  • Humphrey appeared in three games for the Giants, including their 33–32 loss in Denver; the Broncos enter on seven straight wins and a 10-game home streak, while New York has slumped with injuries and a coaching change.
