Team news: Denver Broncos | Page 1

The Saints waived WR A.T. Perry, per source.

This is quite the surprise after he was pegged as the WR3 heading into the season, but he has seen absolutely no playing time through the first month of the season. If anyone is still holding him on deep Dynasty squads, it's time to cut bait.

Broncos running back Tyler Badie is back in Denver after suffering a back injury in Sunday’s win over the Jets and head coach Sean Payton offered a limited update on Badie’s status on Monday.

“We’re still evaluating him now. He’s doing better,” Payton said, via Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post. “Everyone that’s reached out, we appreciate the concerns. Fortunately, he was able to come back before the day ended.”

Badie was taken off the field on a cart while strapped on a backboard and he flew home on a commercial flight after being evaluated at a local hospital. The exact nature of the injury isn’t known, but Badie has movement in all his limbs and Payton said his condition has improved, the story went on to say.

Doug Pederson is doubtful Evan Engram (hamstring) will play vs Texans

Related Players: Brenton Strange

Strange has actually looked pretty good in the Engram role, and can be considered a streaming option after compiling 12 targets over the last two games.

Vikings are not listing Justin Jefferson on this week’s injury report for Sundays game vs. the Texans, but Minnesota has ruled out WR Jordan Addison.

Addison's season has gone from bad to worse, with off-the-field issues still sitting in the background. Nailor makes for an interesting desperation Flex play against Houston this week, while Jefferson needs to be started everywhere.

Jaguars injury updates: Darnell Savage (quad) will be worked back into practice this week, hopeful to play for MNF.

Evan Engram (hamstring) a bit further away, will be assessed day-to-day, per Doug Pederson.

If one is "hopeful" and the other is "further away" we might be able to surmise that Engram won't be suiting up for Week 3. Strange had a nice showing in Week 2, taking his six targets for a 3-65-0 stat line. He should only be considered in very deep leagues.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson participated in today’s walk through, despite his quad injury. It looks as if he is on track to play Sunday vs. the Texans.

You love to see it. Fire JJ up everywhere.

The Jaguars said TE Evan Engram is week to week with a hamstring injury.

Normally week to week can possibly indicate some missed time ahead, but HC Doug Pederson said he's optimistic Engram could play in Week 3. Unfortunately for owners, the Jags are one of two Monday night games in Week 3, so owners will likely need a backup plan and to monitor Engram's status this week. Strange was targeted six times in the loss and caught three passes for 65 yards. Based on that, he could make for a decent replacement option if owners are in a pinch.

Broncos are placing rookie RB Audric Estime on injured reserve due to an ankle injury; Estime now will miss a minimum of four weeks.

Related Players: Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin, Blake Watson

Just a few short weeks ago, this backfield looked like a mess, but now it's down to Williams and McLaughlin, which makes it much more palatable. Estime can safely be dropped anywhere he may have been stashed away.

With significant depth and talent at WR, Broncos are moving on from popular veteran Tim Patrick, per source.

Related players: Courtland Sutton, Josh Reynolds, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin

The post went on to say the Broncos are currently exploring trade possibilities for Patrick, who is generating strong interest on market in advance of Tuesday’s roster cutdown deadline. This move could be good news for players like Reynolds, Mims and the rookie Franklin. It wasn't that long ago that some who follow the team suggested Franklin wouldn't have a big role but that could change with the departure of Patrick, and if he can win the WR3 job. Sutton and Reynolds seem pretty locked into the top-two spots.

The Broncos are expected to move on from respected 8-year veteran RB Samaje Perine, sources say.

Related players: Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin, Audric Estime

The team is engaged in a number of trade conversations around Perine and it could be a trade, rather than a release, the story went on to say. Williams is expected to be the team's RB1 but McLaughlin has flashed enough in the past that the Broncos seem pretty comfortable with him in a key RB role behind Williams. Factor in the team drafted Estime and the running back room was pretty crowded in Denver.
