Reinforcements could be on the way for the Denver Broncos this week.
Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) and running back Tyler Badie (back) are both eligible to return from IR, and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) and linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) are eligible to return from the physically unable to perform list.
This afternoon is the deadline for Turner-Yell to be activated to the 53-man roster. If he is not activated, DTY will spend the rest of the season on reserve. Sanders has one more week remaining on his 21-day window to return.
Here’s a look at the team’s IR/PUP players going into Week 12.
Broncos eligible to return from IR/PUP
- LB Drew Sanders: Eligible to return since Week 5
- DB Delarrin Turner-Yell: Eligible to return since Week 5
- RB Tyler Badie: Eligible to return since Week 9
- WR Josh Reynolds: Eligible to return since Week 10
The Broncos also have two players — linebacker Alex Singleton (ACL) and offensive lineman Quinn Bailey (ankle) — who are on season-ending IR.
Broncos on season-ending injured reserve
- LB Alex Singleton: Out for season
- OL Quinn Bailey: Out for season
Denver linebacker Kwon Alexander and fullback Michael Burton are also out of practice squad elevations, and they seem likely to end up back on the 53-man roster at some point this season. The Broncos will have to make some tough decisions to make room for returning players in the coming weeks.
