The Denver Broncos have waived rookie running back Blake Watson to activate three players from injured reserve ahead of their game against the New Orleans Saints. Veteran right tackle Mike McGlinchey, rush linebacker Baron Browning, and cornerback Damarri Mathis are returning to bolster a team that has shown inconsistency on offense despite recent victories.
McGlinchey's return is expected to stabilize the offensive line, which has struggled without him and starting center Luke Wattenberg. Meanwhile, the Broncos will need to adjust their secondary with Patrick Surtain II ruled out due to a concussion.
Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph may lean on Mathis, who has experience with the system, as the team aims to maintain its strong defensive performance. Browning's return adds depth to the pass rush, but his health remains a concern as the Broncos navigate contract decisions for key players.
