Broncos activate rookie Audric Estime, place receiver Josh Reynolds and center Luke Wattenberg on IR

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos made a flurry of roster moves on Saturday, activating running back Audric Estime, promoting defensive back Tanner McCalister, placing wide receiver Josh Reynolds and center Luke Wattenberg on injured reserve and elevating tackle Cam Fleming and guard Calvin Throckmorton for their game on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Reynolds (hand) and Wattenberg (ankle) were injured in Denver’s win over the Las Vegas Raiders last week, when right tackle Alex Palczewski (ankle) also got hurt. Afterward, the Broncos signed Fleming, a 12th-year veteran who has played in 26 games at tackle for the Broncos over the last three seasons.

Estime, a fifth-round pick out of Notre Dame in April, sprained an ankle on his second carry in the season opener and missed four games. He was a second-team All-American last year when he led the Irish with 1,341 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns in 12 games.

Throckmorton signed with Denver as a free agent last offseason after playing in 46 games with the Saints (2021-22), Panthers (2023) and Titans (2023). He played in nine games last season, including seven starts.
