ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos made a series of roster moves Saturday, activating running back Audric Estime, promoting defensive back Tanner McCalister, placing receiver Josh Reynolds and center Luke Wattenberg on reserve injured and bringing up tackle Cam Fleming and guard Calvin Throckmorton for their Sunday game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Reynolds (hand) and Wattenberg (ankle) were injured Denver wins against the Las Vegas Raiders Last week, right tackle Alex Palczewski (ankle) was also injured. Subsequently, the Broncos signed Fleming, a 12th-year veteran who played 26 games as a tackle for the Broncos over the past three seasons.
Estime, a fifth-round draft pick out of Notre Dame in April, sprained his ankle on his second run in the season opener and missed four games. He was a second-team All-American last year when he led the Irish with 1,341 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns in 12 games.
Throckmorton signed with Denver as a free agent last offseason after playing in 46 games with the Saints (2021-22), Panthers (2023) and Titans (2023). He played in nine games last season, including seven starts.
