The Denver Broncos have elevated two players from the practice squad to the game-day roster for their Week 2 showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Broncos called up wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey and running back Tyler Badie on Saturday afternoon. Badie and Humphrey will revert back to the practice squad on Monday.
Players can be elevated up to three times during the season without having to clear waivers to return to the practice squad. This marks the second straight week that Humphrey has been called up, so he only has one more free elevation remaining in 2024. This is Badie’s first elevation of 2024.
Humphrey is the team’s only practice player listed on the depth chart and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him end up on the 53-man roster later this season.

NFL Free Agency is set to start on March 11, and with free agency will come plenty of trades.One player whose name has already popped up in trade rumors is Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery. In 2025, he saw a diminished role in the offense, and Lions general manager has already spoken about potentially moving Montgomery somewhere where he can see more usage.
“Those are conversations that we’re going to have to have because I’ve got a lot of respect for that player,” Holmes said. “He deserves to be in a situation where his skill set can be utilized. And so yeah, would love it for it to be here, but if it can’t be here, then you would have to just see what you can work out the best for him.”
There is one team that will be in the market for a running back and could make a strong push to acquire him.

Montgomery would thrive in Denver. He would fit well in Sean Payton’s scheme, not only as the power back, but he could also serve as a much better pass-catcher than most give him credit for. The move would also see him go from the clear secondary option in Detroit to the best running back on the Broncos. This would be a big win for Montgomery owners. The only people who would be upset are the RJ Harvey owners, but they never had realistic expectations and will probably be disappointed regardless. Adding Montgomery would also make life easier for quarterback Bo Nix.

Why The Trade Makes Sense For The Denver Broncos
Sure, they have Harvey, but he’s not a special back. Even if he is the next Alvin Kamara, Payton would still want his Mark Ingram to run his offense. JK Dobbins, Jaleel McLaughlin, and Tyler Badie are all set to be free agents this season, so this RB room needs to be rebuilt both at the top and for depth. Harvey can have a niche role, but Montgomery can produce on early downs, near the goal-line, and in the passing attack.

Payton wants to run the ball and hasn’t really had the backs to have massive success in the rushing attack since coming to Denver. The duo of Montgomery and Harvey could be exactly what he needs. They also have two fourth-round picks this season, including the New Orleans Saints’ pick, so they can afford to lose a third for a player like Monty.
Why The Trade Makes Sense For The Detroit Lions
The writing on the wall is already there for Montgomery to be traded. He wants to move on, and they want to move on. Jahmyr Gibbs has become inevitable, and the Lions have to get the ball in his hands as often as possible. That leaves Montgomery as an overpaid running back without a role that justifies keeping him. A Day 2 pick for a 29-year-old running back that the whole league knows you want to trade is a nice deal for Detroit.

There will be just enough moisture pushing in by late morning to get light snow going here and there. Most areas will see an inch or less of snowfall from the brief blast of wintry weather.
The mountains will see another helping of much-needed snowfall. This will be on top of areas that saw anywhere from 6 inches all the way up to over 2 feet from previous storms this week. Wolf Creek was the big winner with 28 inches of snow — with more to come Friday.
Purgatory ski area got 25 inches, Silverton had 23, Crested Butte had 22 and Beaver Creek and Vail each had 13 inches of new snow.
There are winter weather advisories and winter storm warnings for many western mountains through Friday night. Some areas may see up to another foot of snow in the southwest.
Other mountain areas including areas in and around Summit County will also see fresh snow before we get to Saturday morning.
