Who Should I Start? A.T. Perry or Colton Dowell

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.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Colton Dowell (knee) has been taking part in organized team activities this week after missing the entire 2024 campaign following a torn ACL and meniscus in Week 17 of 2023. Dowell was the team's seventh-round selection (228th overall) in the 2023 NFL draft out of UT Martin. He appeared in only 10 games (one start) in his rookie season and hauled in one of his two targets for three yards. Most of his playing time that year came on special teams. Dowell is once again healthy, though, so he'll be gunning for a bigger role on offense heading into the 2025 campaign this fall. He'll be facing an uphill battle to even make the 53-man active roster out of training camp, though, as he's currently buried on the receiver depth chart behind Calvin Ridley, Tyler Lockett, Van Jefferson, Treylon Burks, rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, and James Proche II.
