Mile High Report • • sports
Key Points:
- The Denver Broncos ended the preseason with a commanding 34-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings, primarily featuring backups as starters rested ahead of roster cuts.
- RB Cody Schrader stood out with 132 total yards and a touchdown, boosting his chances of making the practice squad despite previously being a long shot.
- QB Sam Ehlinger recovered from an early interception to finish 15 of 20 for 233 yards and 3 touchdowns, making a strong case for a roster spot as the team considers keeping two or three quarterbacks.
- RB Jaleel McLaughlin’s prospects appear bleak despite scoring a touchdown, as other backs like Tyler Badie and Cody Schrader have edged him out for roster consideration.
- Tight end Justin Joly and several other players like JL Skinner, Karene Reid, and Adam Prentice showed promising performances, while edge rusher Jonathon Cooper’s availability is uncertain due to ongoing legal issues.
