In a move that underscores the Denver Broncos’ commitment to bolstering their receiving corps, head coach Sean Payton has announced the elevation of veteran wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey to the active roster. This decision comes as the team prepares for its Week 3 showdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Payton emphasized that Humphrey’s skill set aligns perfectly with the Broncos’ offensive strategy. Known for his ability to make contested catches and run crisp routes, Humphrey adds a reliable option for quarterback Russell Wilson. His previous experience and versatility will be key assets as the team navigates the challenges of the season.

Humphrey has already made his mark this season, catching four passes for 50 yards in his first two games. His performance has earned him recognition as a dependable target, and Payton believes that with increased opportunities, Humphrey can thrive in the Broncos’ system.
