A huge 68-yard burst from Pierre Strong Jr. on this kick return! 💨 (Via @NFL) https://t.co/TKzwfiyu5o Via @NFLonFOX on X

What happened: The return came during 2026 preseason action at Mile High. Strong handled the kick-return assignment on the play.

Why it matters: The gain strengthens his special-teams case as roster reductions approach. Field-position value can help depth players compete for limited spots.

What to watch: Watch whether Strong receives another return opportunity before final cuts.
