With their 53-man roster and 17-player practice squad set, the Denver Broncos have released their updated depth chart ahead of a Sunday Night Football showdown with the Los Angeles Rams.This week, Denver elevated fullback Adam Prentice and wide receiver Kolbe Katsis from the practice squad to the game-day roster. Additionally, the Broncos promoted long snapper Mitchell Fraboni to the active roster from the practice squad after placing running back Jonah Coleman (ankle) on injured reserve. Note that despite coming straight from the team, the club calls it an “unofficial” depth chart. However, it should still provide a rough idea of how players stack up, though perhaps with a few caveats.Here’s a look at the official “unofficial” depth chart from the Broncos ahead of the Rams game on Sunday night. Broncos depth chartQuarterback (3)QB1: Bo NixQB2: Jarrett StidhamQB3: Sam EhlingerDenver was worried Sam Ehlinger would join another club’s active roster if they attempted to bump him down to the practice squad during roster cuts this summer, so the QB made the 53-man roster.Running back (3)RB1: J.K. Dobbins RB2: RJ HarveyRB4: Tyler BadieTyler Badie is a talented pass blocker and skilled receiver out of the backfield, and he’ll be asked to step up while Jonah Coleman spends four games on injured reserve.Wide receiver (6)WR: Courtland Sutton, Pat BryantWR: Jaylen Waddle, Lil’Jordan HumphreyWR: Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin, [Kolbe Katsis] Kolbe Katsis was elevated from the practice squad to the game-day roster this week. He will likely help return kickoffs and could provide more depth at receiver if needed. Tight end/fullback (4)TE1: Evan EngramTE2: Adam TrautmanTE3: Nate AdkinsTE4: Dallen BentleyFB: [Adam Prentice practice squad elevation]After maxing out his three practice squad elevations, fullback Adam Prentice will likely be fully promoted to the active roster ahead of Week 4.Offensive line (9)LT: Garett Bolles, Matt PeartLG: Ben Powers, Kage CaseyC: Luke Wattenberg, Alex ForsythRG: Quinn Meinerz, Kage CaseyRT: Mike McGlinchey, Alex PalczewskiKage Casey is listed as the backup guard for both spots, but Alex Palczewski filled in when left guard Ben Powers was injured last season. Palczewski is probably the top backup for both guard spots and right tackle. Defensive line (7)DE: Zach Allen, Jordan Jackson, Tyler OnyedimNT: D.J. Jones, Sai’vion Jones DE: Malcolm Roach, Eyioma UwazurikeMalcolm Roach is listed as a starter, but Eyioma Uwazurike has two more snaps than Roach through two weeks. It’s a relatively even rotation across from Zach Allen. Outside linebacker (4)OLB: Nik Bonitto, Que RobinsonOLB: Jonah Elliss, Dondrea TillmanJonathon Cooper was placed on the commissioner’s exempt list before roster cuts. Cooper can’t practice or play in games until the NFL makes an updated ruling on his roster status. In the meantime, Jonah Elliss is starting across from Nik Bonitto.
