Notable Notes

  • An “or” has been added between Taylen Green and Maddux Madsen on the QB section of the depth chart. While the coaching staff has maintained (and recently reiterated) that Taylen is the starter, the snap counts haven’t precisely borne that out. So…we’ll see!
  • Cortez Hogans has replaced Tyler Wegis on the depth chart as the backup to Ahmed Hassanein at DE. So, he is now listed there, as well as the #3–behind Demitri Washington and Jayden Virgin–at EDGE.
  • Another -or- has been added between Alexander Teubner and Zion Washington at boundary safety, indicating that either of them could possibly get the start.
  • George Holani has been removed as the primary punt returner. He has been replaced, likely in an effort to not jeopardize his newfound health, by Stefan Cobbs. He is still the #2 at that spot, however, and he is backed up there (preceded by the infamous “-or-“) by Chase Penry.
  • While not expressly stated on this depth chart, or even really acknowledged by it, the coaches did say in the Monday presser that both Schramm and Holani were back and practicing. It’s likely they will be cautious easing them back into the rotation, however.

See anything we missed? Let us know in the comments! Regardless, always and forever…Go Broncos!
