Broncos release depth chart for Sunday's game vs. Cardinals
Denver Broncos official depth chart

The Denver Broncos have released their depth chart ahead of Sunday's road showdown with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7.

Last week, Denver elevated cornerback Sean Fresch and safety Taylor Rapp from the practice squad to the game-day roster for Week 6. Both players could be candidates to be elevated again this week if Pat Surtain (ankle) and Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) remain sidelined.

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 Cards.

Broncos depth chart

Quarterback (3)

  • QB1: Bo Nix

  • QB2: Jarrett Stidham

  • QB3: Sam Ehlinger

Jarrett 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: RJ Harvey

  • RB3: Tyler Badie

Jonah Coleman is eligible to return from injured reserve this week. Denver also has Cody Schrader available on the practice squad.

Wide receiver (5)

  • WR: Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin

  • WR: Jaylen Waddle, Lil'Jordan Humphrey

  • WR: Courtland Sutton

Pat Bryant (ankle) landed on injured reserve two weeks ago, and he has to sit out at least two more games. Lil'Jordan Humphrey provides more depth at the position in the meantime.

Tight end/fullback (5)

  • TE1: Evan Engram

  • TE2: Adam Trautman

  • TE3: Nate Adkins

  • TE4: Dallen Bentley

  • FB: Adam Prentice

Dallen 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.

Offensive line (9)

  • LT: Garett Bolles, Matt Peart

  • LG: Ben Powers, Kage Casey

  • C: Luke Wattenberg, Alex Forsyth

  • RG: Quinn Meinerz, Kage Casey

  • RT: Mike McGlinchey, Alex Palczewski

Kage 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 Onyedim

  • NT: D.J. Jones, Sai'vion Jones

  • DE: Malcolm Roach, Eyioma Uwazurike

Malcolm Roach (245 snaps) is listed as a starter, but Eyioma Uwazurike (221 snaps) has also been a key part of the defensive line rotation.

Outside linebacker (4)

  • OLB: Nik Bonitto, Que Robinson

  • OLB: Jonah Elliss, Dondrea Tillman

Jonathon Cooper was reinstated by the NFL last week, but the Broncos don't have to activate him to the 53-man roster this weekend. Cooper (felony assault case) has a trial by jury scheduled for March.

Inside linebacker (4)

  • LB: Alex Singleton, Jordan Turner

  • LB: Justin Strnad, Karene Reid

Denver also has seventh-round draft pick Red Murdock providing additional depth on the practice squad.

Cornerback (5)

  • CB1: Pat Surtain, Jahdae Barron

  • CB2: Riley Moss, Kris Abrams-Draine

  • Nickel: Ja’Quan McMillian, Jahdae Barron

Pat Surtain (ankle) and Riley Moss (ribs) are both dealing with injuries. Moss returned in a limited role last week. Jahdae Barron and Kris Abrams-Draine have done an excellent job stepping up while PS2 and Moss have been sidelined.

Safety (5)

  • S: Talanoa Hufunga, JL Skinner, Tycen Anderson

  • S: Brandon Jones, Devon Key

Seventh-round draft pick Miles Scott is also available on the practice squad, and Denver added veteran Taylor Rapp to the practice squad ahead of the regular season. Rapp was elevated to the game-day roster for TNF last week.

Special teams

  • K: Wil Lutz

  • P: Jeremy Crawshaw

  • LS: Mitchell Fraboni

  • KR: Marvin Mims, Tyler Badie, RJ Harvey

  • PR: Marvin Mims, Riley Moss

Marvin Mims has handled punt returns when healthy this season, but RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie have served as the team's primary kickoff returners this fall.
