Drawing interest from other teams, the Broncos managed to get a great return from the Saints in exchange for Devaughn Vele.

While Evan Engram has made his pitch to play Sean Payton's famed 'joker' role, several others are in the mix. Who will Payton pick?

Lohner checks in as the final tight end, who may not clear waivers due to the athletic upside he has. He makes the roster out of fear of him getting claimed, but barring injuries, he will be a gameday inactive. Obviously, when Adkins comes back from IR, one of these tight ends could be waived.

NFL teams typically carry three running backs on the active roster, but the Denver Broncos do not have a typical backfield.

Denver's starters will be in action to end the preseason this week. Broncos head coach Sean Payton told reporters in his Thursday press conference that starters are set for 8-to-10 plays against the Saints.

The Denver Broncos evidently saw enough in Michael Dwumfour during his workout Tuesday, as the team has signed the former Houston Texans defensive lineman, 9NEWS ' Mike Klis reported. Inside linebacker J.B. Brown was waived in a corresponding roster move, according to Klis.

The game will be locally televised in the Denver market on KTVD with Steve Levy (play-by-play) and Ryan Harris (analyst) providing commentary while Cynthia Frelund and Scotty Gange report from the sidelines. Out-of-market fans can also stream the game live on NFL+.

Brown has been with the Broncos since signing as a preferred free agent after the draft in April. Michigan State product Jordan Turner and Utah’s Karene Reid have each flashed upside throughout camp, giving the Broncos room to shave at inside linebacker.

The Denver Broncos are set to close out their preseason against the New Orleans Saints and offered a key update involving Bo Nix.
