Broncos' Blake Watson: Healthy scratch for opener
Watson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Seahawks.
Watson is clearly behind Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin and rookie fifth-round pick Audric Estime on the running back depth chart, making his inactive status for the opener unsurprising. The undrafted rookie beat the odds to make the final 53-man roster, but Watson will likely need an injury to one of his aforementioned trio of teammates to garner active status in the foreseeable future.

Broncos' Blake Watson: Clears injury designation
Watson (leg) was activated from the active/non-football injury list Thursday and returned to practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Watson will receive his first training camp action after being signed as a UDFA out of Memphis in the spring. However, the 24-year-old will likely be facing an uphill battle for a spot in the Broncos' backfield with Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie all returning and Denver adding Audric Estime in the fifth round of the 2024 draft.

Broncos' Blake Watson: Expected to recover
Watson is expected to be recover from a slight leg muscle tweak that landed him on the Broncos' active/non-football injury list, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.
Watson's placement on the NFI list is seemingly a procedural matter heading into training camp. A quick recovery would be in the undrafted rookie's best interest, as he is attempting to earn a depth role in Denver's backfield. Thus, the more time on the field the better.

Broncos' Blake Watson: Lands on NFI list
The Broncos placed Watson on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Watson appears to have sustained his injury away from Denver's practice facilities. The undrafted rookie out of Memphis will be eligible to return to practice at any point throughout training camp or the preseason, once cleared, but any amount of time missed will negatively impact his chances of earning a depth role in the Broncos backfield.

Blake Watson: Lands with Denver
Watson is slated to sign with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

Watson joins a crowded Denver backfield depth chart that includes Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine, Jaleel McLaughlin and fifth-round rookie Audric Estime.
