Broncos Promote Mitchell Fraboni to 53-Man Roster

The move secures the team’s long-snapping role after rookie Jonah Coleman was placed on short-term injured reserve.

Overview

  • The Broncos promoted veteran long snapper Mitchell Fraboni from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, a change announced by the team late Saturday.
  • Rookie running back Jonah Coleman was placed on short-term injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain, which opened the roster spot used for Fraboni.
  • Denver elevated fullback Adam Prentice and undrafted wide receiver/returner Kolbe Katsis from the practice squad for Week 3 game-day duty, with both players set to revert to the practice squad on Monday.
  • Prentice has reached the NFL limit of three practice-squad elevations and is likely to be signed to the active roster soon, while Katsis could handle kickoff and punt-return duties if Marvin Mims Jr. cannot play.
  • These moves highlight the Broncos’ use of practice-squad elevations and the designated short-term IR rule to manage a thin roster and create audition opportunities for special-teams contributors.
