The Denver Broncos did not activate safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (knee) from the physically unable to perform list on Wednesday, which rules him out for the rest of the 2024 season.
Turner-Yell returned to practice three weeks ago and Wednesday was the deadline to activate him to the 53-man roster. Because he was not activated within his 21-day window, DTY will remain on reserve for the rest of the season (unless the team cuts him).
“We spent a lot of time just going through it,” coach Sean Payton said after Wednesday’s practice. “We have a real clear vision for him. [He has] a bright future. [We] had a real good visit. I know it’s difficult. With where we’re at in the season, it just became a challenge relative to managing the roster.”
Next week, the Broncos will have to make a similar decision on linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles). His 21-day window will expire on Nov. 27.
Denver also has two players — wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) and running back Tyler Badie (back) — who are eligible to return from injured reserve. The Broncos will have to make some tough roster decisions with multiple players set to return from injuries in the coming weeks.
