The Denver Broncos have released their depth chart ahead of Sunday’s showdown with the Carolina Panthers in Week 9. The Broncos made several roster moves last weekend, including placing running back RJ Harvey (knee) on IR and promoting safety Taylor Rapp from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. Denver also elevated offensive lineman Gavin Ortega and running back Cody Schrader from the practice squad to the game-day roster in Week 8.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 Sunday’s game against the Panthers. Broncos depth chartQuarterback (3)QB1: Bo NixQB2: Jarrett StidhamQB3: Sam EhlingerJarrett Stidham is 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: Jonah Coleman[Practice squad: Cody Schrader]Jonah Coleman clearly appears to be the team’s best running back, but the “unofficial” depth chart from the team still lists J.K. Dobbins as the starter. Denver also has Cody Schrader available on the practice squad. Wide receiver (5)WR: Marvin Mims, Troy FranklinWR: Jaylen Waddle, Lil’Jordan HumphreyWR: Courtland SuttonPat Bryant (ankle) is eligible to return from injured reserve this week.
