Summary of busy Friday for #Broncos Via @TroyRenck on X

What happened: The Denver Broncos placed wide receiver Pat Bryant on injured reserve Friday. The team moved wide receiver LJ Humphrey to the 53-man active roster to fill the vacancy. Denver also signed safety Ugo Amadi and rookie cornerback Brent Austin to the practice squad.

Why it matters: The injured reserve designation sidelines Bryant for at least the next four games. The corresponding moves restock the active rotation and provide additional secondary depth as the Broncos navigate recent injuries.

What to watch: Humphrey is available to join the receiving rotation immediately. Denver will look to integrate the new practice squad additions into team drills this week.
