Here's a look at the Broncos' (projected) depth chart for today's game against the Giants.
The Denver Broncos released an updated depth chart ahead of their game against the New York Giants in Week 7, but it unfortunately arrived before the team made a flurry of roster moves last week.
Denver added safety J.T. Gray, offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton and linebacker Dre Greenlaw to the active roster, so we've included them below, but their placements are not official until we get another update to the depth chart, which won't come until after the Giants game.
Fans should also note that while this depth chart comes straight from the team, the Broncos still call it an "unofficial" depth chart, and it should be taken with a grain of salt. It's roughly a reflection of how coach Sean Payton stacks up each position, but there are clearly a few exceptions.
Denver Broncos Depth Chart
Quarterback (2)
- QB1: Bo Nix
- QB2: Jarrett Stidham
Bo Nix enters Year 2 looking to build on his promising rookie season.
Running back (4)
- RB1: J.K. Dobbins
- RB2: R.J. Harvey
- RB3: Tyler Badie

Denver also has Deuce Vaughn available on the practice squad.
Tight end/fullback (4)
- TE1: Evan Engram
- TE2: Adam Trautman
- TE3: Nate Adkins
- FB: Adam Prentice
Lucas Krull (foot) is currently on injured reserve. He's eligible to return in Week 9.
Wide receiver (5)
Sutton (48) and Franklin (35) continue to lead the wide receiver snaps, but Bryant (35) was more involved on Sunday. Mims (21) has seen his role decline on offense, and Sherfield (14) is clearly WR5.
Offensive line (8)
- LT: Garett Bolles, Matt Peart
- LG: Alex Palczewski, [Calvin Throckmorton]
- C: Luke Wattenberg, Alex Forsyth
- RG: Quinn Meinerz, Alex Palczewski
- RT: Mike McGlinchey, Frank Crum
It looks like Palczewski will be the new starter at left guard, but we don't yet know where Throckmorton will land on the depth chart.
Defensive line (7)
- DE: Zach Allen, Jordan Jackson
- DT: D.J. Jones, Malcolm Roach
- DE: John Franklin-Myers, Eyioma Uwazurike, Sai'vion Jones
Roach returned from IR last week and he's a key rotational defensive lineman behind the three starters.
Outside linebacker (5)
- OLB1: Jonathon Cooper, Jonah Elliss
- OLB2: Nik Bonitto, Dondrea Tillman, Que Robinson
Robinson made his NFL debut last week and he totaled two tackles.
Inside linebacker (4)
- ILB: Alex Singleton
- ILB: [Dre Greenlaw], Justin Strnad, Karene Reid
Justin Strnad will likely start next to Alex Singleton again on Sunday as Greenlaw eases back into action.
Cornerback (5)
- CB1: Pat Surtain, Jahdae Barron
- CB2: Riley Moss, Kris Abrams-Draine
- Slot: Ja'Quan McMillian, Jahdae Barron
Surtain (57) and Moss (57) continue to play all the defensive snaps at the outside cornerback spots. McMillian (32) remains the nickelback with Barron (11) getting rotational snaps in the secondary.
Safety (6)
- S: Brandon Jones, Devon Key
- S: Talanoa Hufanga, P.J. Locke, JL Skinner
- TBD: [J.T. Gray]
We'll find out where Gray fits in the safety rotation once the depth chart is updated.
Special teams (3)
- K: Wil Lutz
- P: Jeremy Crawshaw
- LS: Mitchell Fraboni
- KR: Marvin Mims, Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Badie
