The Broncos added three players to their practice squad on Tuesday, bringing in running back Jaret Patterson, defensive tackle Jordan Miller and defensive back Ugo Amadi.
To make those moves, Denver released wide receivers Eli Pancol and Cam Ross.
With the latest shuffle, the Broncos’ practice squad now lists David Agoha, Brent Austin, Michael Bandy, Sean Fresch Sr., Kolbe Katsis, Dane Key, Lucas Krull, Tyler Miller, Red Murdock, Gavin Ortega, Cody Schrader, Miles Scott, Calvin Throckmorton, Johnny Walker Jr., Jordan Miller, Jaret Patterson and Ugo Amadi.
Patterson arrives with plenty of practice-squad mileage. The 26-year-old was a three-year starter at Buffalo and earned MAC Offensive Player of the Year honors along with First Team All-MAC recognition in 2020. After the 2021 NFL Draft, he signed with Washington as an undrafted free agent.
His NFL path has been a steady cycle of signings, waivers and practice-squad stints. He was waived by Washington coming out of the preseason in his second year, then re-signed to the practice squad and spent most of that season there. Washington cut him again after the preseason this year, and he later landed on the Chargers’ practice squad before being let go and signing with the Commanders’ practice squad last year.
The Chargers then brought Patterson back on a futures contract, but released him after the preseason. He returned to their practice squad for the past few seasons and has bounced on and off in 2025.
Patterson also had a stint on the Browns’ practice squad earlier this season.
In 2025, he played in six games for the Chargers and logged 41 carries for 159 yards and a touchdown.

Broncos Midseason Review Reveals Whos Driving This 6-2 Start
A 6-2 start and a four-game winning streak have put the Broncos in a strong early position, and the midseason picture is starting to show who has helped carry them there. Jonah Coleman has emerged as a key piece in the backfield, Malcolm Roach has given the defense a steady push inside, and Sean Payton reached his 200th career win along the way, a reminder that the veteran coach is still adding to an already long rsum.
The same review also makes clear that the Broncos have not settled into one clean offensive formula just yet. Davis Webbs time handling the play-calling ended after the first four games, and J.K. Dobbins has seen his role shrink as the season has gone on, leaving Denver with some interesting questions even as the wins keep piling up. [Read more 🡒]
Alex Singleton Has Become The Heart Of Denvers Four-Game Surge
Alex Singleton has been everywhere for Denver during its four-game surge, the kind of linebacker who seems to show up in the middle of every critical snap. Over the Broncos last two games, he piled up 33 tackles and two sacks, and his work has helped steady a defense that has carried Denver into first place in the AFC West.
The latest example came in the win over Kansas City, where Singleton delivered a key sack in a 28-24 victory that kept the Broncos rolling. He already has 101 tackles through eight games, and with Denver riding momentum at the top of the division, his production has become one of the biggest reasons the team looks so different right now.

Broncos Quarterback Depth Could Suddenly Matter In Baltimores Crisis
Baltimores quarterback situation has gone from uneasy to urgent, with Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley both dealing with injuries and rookie Joe Fagnano now lined up to start. With the Ravens suddenly forced to consider outside help, ESPNs Adam Schefter noted the team could explore the market, which is the kind of development that can quickly turn a backup quarterback into a trade chip.
For Denver, that puts a little more attention on a room that was supposed to be a quiet part of the roster. The Broncos have Jarrett Stidham and Sam Ehlinger available, and the Ravens need could create an opening if they decide to pursue a veteran option with some built-in familiarity in Baltimores system. Even if nothing materializes right away, this is the sort of situation that can make depth feel a lot more valuable than it did a week ago. [Read more 🡒]
