Broncos promote Lil’Jordan Humphrey; sign safety to practice squad

The Denver Broncos made two key roster moves ahead of their Week 5 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. With wide receiver Pat Bryant placed on short-term injured reserve, the team activated Lil’Jordan Humphrey to the active roster, ensuring offensive continuity as Bryant is expected to miss at least four games.

Humphrey’s promotion fills a critical void in the Broncos’ receiving corps, which will need to remain sharp against a Chargers defense that has shown flashes of improvement despite a 0-4 start to the season.

On the defensive side, the Broncos bolstered their safety depth by signing Ugo Amadi, a versatile player with experience across four NFL teams. Amadi, who has logged 85 career games and 17 starts, will provide additional support at a position where the Broncos have been looking to strengthen their roster.

Meanwhile, head coach Sean Payton has taken over play-calling duties, a shift aimed at refining the offense’s execution as the team prepares for a high-stakes game against a talented but struggling Chargers squad.
