Broncos Announce Three Key Roster Changes Before Raiders Game
The Denver Broncos have made important roster changes ahead of their upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The team has signed wide receiver Michael Bandy from the practice squad, joining the 53-man roster. Additionally, tight end Marcedes Lewis and cornerback Reese Taylor have been elevated from the practice squad for the game.
Roster Changes Explained
Michael Bandy’s promotion fills the void left by injured players. He stepped in as a punt returner last week, replacing the concussed Marvin Mims Jr. Although he had an impressive 16-yard reception, Bandy also faced challenges, including a crucial muffed punt that led to a turnover against the Houston Texans.

- Weight: 190 lbs
- Experience: Joined Broncos in 2023 after stints with the Chargers and XFL
- Performance: Two regular-season appearances as a Bronco
- Marcedes Lewis:
- Age: 41
- Experience: 20th NFL season
- Joined Broncos to aid in blocking after Nate Adkins’ injury
- Reese Taylor:

- Provides cornerback depth following Patrick Surtain II’s injury
Injury Updates
Both Lewis and Taylor are expected to play key roles against the Raiders. Lewis, despite joining the team recently, made an impression in the limited snaps he received. His ability to adapt to Sean Payton’s system could lead to increased involvement in the game.
Meanwhile, the Broncos are managing their cornerback situation carefully. With Riley Moss nursing an injury, the inclusion of Taylor ensures that the defense is well-prepared. This strategy comes as the Broncos look to strengthen their chances in the upcoming game.
Looking Ahead
As game day approaches, Broncos fans are eager for updates on player performance and strategies. Staying informed is critical as the Broncos aim to enhance their season performance against their rivals, the Raiders.
