- Nov 3, 2026The Broncos signed former Chargers RB Jarett Patterson to the practice squad along with DL Jordan Miller and DB Ugo Amadi, and released WRs Eli Pancol and Cameron Ross from the practice squad.
- Nov 6, 2026Reports said the Broncos may explore adding a "weapon or two" before the deadline, were reportedly doing everything in their power to trade for Colts RB Jonathan Taylor, and might be less inclined to do so.
