To make room for Junior on the 91-player offseason roster, Denver waived defensive lineman Matt Henningsen with an injury designation. Henningsen tore his Achilles during a joint practice with the San Francisco 49ers last week. If he clears waivers, Henningsen will revert to the Broncos' injured reserve list for the 2025 season.
Junior joins a cornerback room in Denver that already features Pat Surtain , Riley Moss , Jahdae Barron , Ja'Quan McMillian , Kris Abrams-Draine , Damarri Mathis , Reese Taylor , Quinton Newsome , Jaden Robinson and Joshua Pickett . The Broncos' offseason roster is now going into Week 2 of preseason.
