Denver Broncos elevate fullback Adam Prentice to active roster status
**Denver Broncos Bolster Active Roster and Practice Squad**
Adam Prentice Joins Broncos’ Active Roster
The Denver Broncos have strategically enhanced their 53-man roster by promoting fullback Adam Prentice from the practice squad. This move, announced on Wednesday, fills an open spot on the roster without necessitating any corresponding adjustments. Prentice, who was elevated for each of the Broncos’ initial three games of the season, required signing to the active roster to maintain eligibility for future games.
Adam Prentice’s Role in the Broncos’ Strategy
Adam Prentice has contributed significantly to the Broncos’ performance this season, participating in 16% of the team’s offensive snaps and 30% of their special teams plays. His continued presence is expected to further bolster the Broncos’ lineup as they advance through the season.
Denver Adds A.J. Woods to Practice Squad
In another strategic move, the Broncos have added defensive back A.J. Woods to their practice squad. Woods, a product of the University of Pittsburgh, went undrafted in 2024 but gained initial NFL experience with the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice squad. His addition brings valuable depth and potential to Denver’s defensive lineup.
A.J. Woods: A Promising Defensive Talent
Throughout his five seasons at Pitt, A.J. Woods demonstrated solid defensive skills, making notable contributions such as:
- 59 game appearances
- 105 tackles
- 8 tackles for loss
- 2 sacks
- 4 interceptions
- 25 passes defensed
- 1 forced fumble
After an initial offseason stint with the Commanders, Woods was waived by the Eagles in August 2025, making his current engagement with the Broncos a crucial step in his career development.
