After being listed as questionable with a hip injury suffered in practice Saturday, Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. was active for Monday night’s game against Cincinnati at Empower Field at Mile High.

Earlier Monday, the Broncos had elevated linebacker Garret Wallow from the practice squad for the game.

Inactive for the Broncos were running back Jaleel McLaughlin, tight end Lucas Krull, outside linebacker Que Robinson, tackle Frank Crum, defensive lineman Jordan Jackson and Sam Ehlinger, the emergency quarterback.

It marked the third straight elevation for Wallow, which is the limit for one team for one season. So he would need to be signed to the 53-man roster to play in any more games in 2025 for Denver after Monday’s game.

Wallow, a four-year veteran, has played well on special teams in the past two games, getting 33 overall snaps. He has not played any snaps from scrimmage but would be available for depth with Dre Greenlaw missing his fourth straight game due to a quad injury.

It marked the first time this season Jackson has been inactive. Instead, rookie defensive lineman Sav’ion Jones was active for the first time.

McLaughlin was inactive for the fourth time in four games with season, with Denver again electing to go with Tyler Badie as the third running back behind starter J.K. Dobbins and rookie RJ Harvey.

The Broncos dressed three tight ends in Evan Engram, who returned after missing one game with a back injury, Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins. Krull was inactive for the first time this season.

Inactive for the Bengals were tight end Noah Fant and defensive end Shemar Stewart, both ruled out Saturday due to injuries, wide receiver Jermaine Burton and defensive tackles McKinley Jackson and Howard Cross III.

Watson signs with Titans

Former Broncos running back Blake Watson signed Monday with Tennessee’s practice squad.

Watson spent last season with the Broncos as a rookie on both the 53-man roster and practice squad. He was waived at the end of the preseason last month with an injury settlement after hurting his knee in the Aug. 23 finale at New Orleans.

A source said the Broncos wanted to sign Watson to their practice squad but they would have had to wait until Week 7 due to rules regarding his injury settlement. With Watson now healthy, he wanted to immediately get on a roster.
