On Saturday, the Denver Broncos made several roster changes. They activated running back Audric Estime and promoted defensive back Tanner McCalister.
They placed wide receiver Josh Reynolds and center Luke Wattenberg on injured reserve and elevated tackle Cam Fleming and guard Calvin Throckmorton for their game on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Reynolds (hand) and Wattenberg (ankle) were hurt during Denver’s victory over the Las Vegas Raiders last week, where right tackle Alex Palczewski (ankle) also got injured.
Following that game, the Broncos signed Fleming, a veteran who has played in 26 games at tackle for the team over the last three seasons.
Estime, a fifth-round pick from Notre Dame in April, sprained his ankle on his second carry during the season opener and missed four games. Last year, he was a second-team All-American, leading the Irish with 1,341 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns in 12 games.
Throckmorton joined Denver as a free agent last offseason after playing in 46 games with the Saints (2021-22), Panthers (2023), and Titans (2023). He appeared in nine games last season, including seven starts.
