With the 53-man roster set, the Denver Broncos have released their updated depth chart for the 2024 NFL season.
After previously naming Bo Nix their starting quarterback, the Broncos have now declared starters at inside linebacker and cornerback following position battles this summer. Cody Barton will start next to Alex Singleton at ILB and Riley Moss will start across from Pat Surtain at CB.
Marvin Mims is listed as the team’s primary kickoff and punt returner with Tremon Smith and Jaleel McLaughlin providing depth behind him.
Two players — Michael Burton and Lil’Jordan Humphrey — made the depth chart despite currently being on the 17-player practice squad. We have them listed in brackets below to reflect that they are not currently on the active roster.
Here’s how Denver’s depth chart shakes out going into Week 1.
