Broncos make one elevation for Monday night — and it’s not a receiver

The Broncos need inside linebacker Garret Wallow once again.

Denver will use a practice-squad elevation on the 26-year-old linebacker for the third-consecutive game Monday night. He has played 33 snaps over the previous two weeks, all on special teams.

Wallow has been needed with inside linebackers Dre Greenlaw and Drew Sanders both on injured reserve. The Broncos also used a Week 1 elevation on fellow inside linebacker Levelle Bailey.

Significantly, the Broncos did not elevate a wide receiver from the practice squad. That’s relevant because Marvin Mims Jr. landed on the injury report Saturday due to a hip issue. He was listed as limited for that day’s sesssion.

Denver reached its limit of three elevations with fullback Adam Prentice last week, so, they promoted him to the 53-player roster in the spot vacated when Greenlaw moved to injured reserve.

Greenlaw is eligible to return in time for the Week 7 game against the New York Giants.
