Brace yourselves, Broncos fans! In an electrifying move, the Denver Broncos are giving their practice squad some game-day love. For Sunday’s showdown against the New York Jets, the Broncos have decided to promote not one, but two talented players to the active roster.
Tanner McCalister: Amping Up the Defense
Say hello to Tanner McCalister, a fierce defensive back who’ll get another shot to make his mark. Last time he suited up, Tanner was like a lightning bolt on special teams, playing 12 snaps against the Buccaneers in Week 3. Broncos fans, get ready for this dynamo to bring his A-game once more!
Levelle Bailey: The Silent Storm
And that’s not all, folks! The Broncos are also elevating inside linebacker Levelle Bailey—an undrafted gem from Fresno State. Imagine the confidence of a team trusting a newcomer with such responsibility; it’s like giving the keys of the Lamborghini to the new kid on the block. While Levelle is yet to make his regular-season debut, preseason glimpses showed a beast in the making: three tackles, an interception, and a pass defensed. With Alex Singleton sidelined on injured reserve, Bailey is ready to fill those massive shoes and wreak havoc.
The Game Day Routine
For those keeping score at home, the NFL allows teams to elevate two players each week from the practice squad for game day. This move isn’t just a random shuffle; it’s strategic magic, like a chess piece being precisely placed. Post-game, these players revert to the practice squad, but each can be elevated up to three times in a season. So, keep your eyes peeled, because these promotions could become regular fireworks!
Get set for an exhilarating display of talent and grit as McCalister and Bailey prepare to unleash their potential against the Jets. It’s more than just a game; it’s a crescendo of hope and determination. Go Broncos!
