Following their 26-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1, the Denver Broncos are now set to host the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend.
Ahead of Sunday’s showdown, the Broncos have released their depth chart for Week 2, featuring no changes from last week.
While no official changes have been made to the starting lineup, it’s worth noting that wide receiver Devaughn Vele (34 snaps) was more involved than Lil’Jordan Humphrey (21 snaps) and Marvin Mims (12 snaps) in Week 1. Humphrey is listed on the depth chart despite being a practice squad player.
On defense, linebacker Kristian Welch (19 snaps) took playing time away from Cody Barton (24 snaps) on Sunday (Alex Singleton played all 67 snaps). It will be interesting to see if Welch’s role continues to expand.
