In a somewhat surprising decision, the Denver Broncos are not calling up any reinforcements from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
With pass rusher Dondrea Tillman (hamstring) ruled out this week, many fans and pundits the team to elevate Johnny Walker from the practice squad to the game-day roster to provide more depth behind Nik Bonitto, Jonah Elliss and Que Robinson. The Broncos opted to not elevate any practice squad players, which means they'll go into Sunday's game with just three outside linebackers.
Meanwhile, Denver officially promoted fullback Adam Prentice from the practice squad to the 53-man roster after releasing wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey to make room for Prentice on Friday. Humphrey re-signed
with the team's practice squad on Saturday, the team announced.
