Who Should I Start? A.T. Perry or Brandon Johnson

Denver Broncos wide receiver A.T. Perry (undisclosed) has made "quite a bit" of progress since being activated from the PUP list, head coach Sean Payton told members of the media, including Luca Evans of the Denver Post. Perry didn't make the Broncos' initial 53-man roster, but he was brought back onto the practice squad. Plus, from the sounds of it, he has earned the praise of Denver's coaching staff ever since getting healthy. It's fair to assume that Perry, who hasn't played in a game since his rookie campaign with the Saints in 2023, could be a candidate to join the 53-man roster if a current Bronco receiver underperforms or gets injured.

The Denver Broncos waived wide receiver Brandon Johnson on Tuesday, according to a source. In addition to Johnson, the Broncos also parted ways with Tim Patrick, who quickly signed with the Detroit Lions, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and David Sills to trim their roster down to 53 by the deadline. Johnson improved in Year 2 with Denver last year by catching 19 of his 30 targets for 284 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games (two starts), but he wasn't able to make the final cut this summer after the offseason additions of Josh Reynolds and rookie fourth-rounder Troy Franklin. The 26-year-old rejoin the Broncos practice squad to give the team additional depth during the regular season, though. Johnson joined Denver as an undrafted free agent out of Central Florida in 2022.
