The Denver Broncos have announced their latest depth chart as they prepare for their Week 15 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. This update does not feature significant changes, but it includes some key roster moves that could impact their performance.
Roster Changes Ahead of Packers Match
Recent adjustments involved the promotion of tight end Marcedes Lewis from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. To accommodate his inclusion, the team waived linebacker Garret Wallow.
Lewis is now positioned as TE4 on the depth chart. It is essential to note that the Broncos maintain that this is an unofficial chart, indicating potential changes could occur leading into the game.
