The Denver Broncos have elevated wide receiver Elijah Moore from their practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game. Moore, a second-year player, will now be available to suit up and potentially see playing time with the Broncos this weekend.

Why it matters

The Broncos have been dealing with injuries at the wide receiver position, so elevating Moore from the practice squad provides them with additional depth and options for their passing game. As a young player, this opportunity could also be significant for Moore's development and future with the team.

The details

The Broncos made the move to elevate Moore on Saturday, the day before their upcoming game. This will allow him to be active and potentially see his first regular season NFL action with the Broncos this Sunday.
