The Denver Broncos have released their depth chart ahead of a Thursday Night Football showdown with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6. Last week, Denver placed receiver Pat Bryant (ankle) on injured reserve, ruling him out for at least four games (he’s missed one so far). To fill Bryant’s former spot on the active roster, the Broncos promoted Lil’Jordan Humphrey from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.Note that despite coming straight from the team, the club calls this 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 Seahawks game on Thursday. Broncos depth chartQuarterback (3)QB1: Bo NixQB2: Jarrett StidhamQB3: Sam EhlingerJarrett Stidham remains the primary backup quarterback, a role he has held since Sean Payton arrived in 2023. Sam Ehlinger has remained loyal to the team as QB3 despite drawing interest from other clubs. Running back (3)RB1: J.K. Dobbins RB2: RJ HarveyRB3: Tyler BadieJonah Coleman will spend at least one more game on injured reserve. In the meantime, Tyler Badie will handle RB3 duties.

Tight end/fullback (5)TE1: Evan EngramTE2: Adam TrautmanTE3: Nate AdkinsTE4: Dallen BentleyFB: Adam PrenticeDallen Bentley has been a healthy scratch for every game so far this season. If no injuries pop up, the seventh-round draft pick might have to wait until his second season to get an opportunity.
