News

  • Won't play in Week 18

    Hinton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hinton will finish the season with his third absence in four games. The 25-year-old wide receiver will have plenty of time to heal up in the offseason after totaling 24 catches for 311 yards on 33 targets across 12 games in his third pro campaign.

  • Missing for another practice

    Hinton (hamstring) won't participate in practice Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: In his return from a two-game absence from a hamstring injury this past Sunday, Hinton handled a 47 percent snap share and failed to haul in either of his two targets in Denver's 27-24 loss to Kansas City. Though the Broncos didn't suggest Hinton experienced any sort of setback in Week 17, his absence from the team's first two Week 18 practices perhaps suggests otherwise. Whatever the case, Hinton will likely need to practice in some fashion Friday in order to have a legitimate chance at…read more

  • Not practicing

    Hinton (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Hinton returned from a two-game absence in Sunday's 27-24 loss to Kansas City, finishing without a catch on two targets while playing 33 of 70 offensive snaps as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver. It's unclear if he had a setback with the hamstring or if he's simply being rested Wednesday as the Broncos prepare for their season finale Sunday against the Chargers.

  • Held catchless in loss

    Hinton failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs. He added one rush for zero yards.

    Analysis: Hinton operated as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver, playing on 33 of Denver's 70 offensive snaps behind Jerry Jeudy (62) and Courtland Sutton (57). In 12 games played, the second-year wideout has recorded 24 total catches for 311 yards. The Broncos' struggles on offense and his lack of consistent opportunities this season played a significant role in his underwhelming 2022 campaign. Hinton will look to bounce back and end the year on a positive note when the Broncos host the Chargers in Week 18.

  • Active for Week 17

    Hinton (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hinton suits up for the first time since Week 14, which was Denver's first matchup with the Chiefs. He's been second or even first option at wide receiver at times this season, but Hinton likely will be the No. 3 receiver Sunday with both Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy (ankle) active. Freddie Swain is a healthy scratch after handling the No. 3 role last week.

  • Questionable for Week 17

    Hinton (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hinton's hoping to make his return following a two-game absence. Fellow wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) is also questionable while Courtland Sutton (hamstring) is trending toward playing. If all three suit up, Hinton will likely see limited volume in the No. 3 wide receiver role.

  • Practices in limited fashion

    Hinton (hamstring) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After not practicing in any capacity the past two weeks while sitting out a win over the Cardinals and a loss to the Rams, Hinton has now turned in a pair of limited practices to begin Week 17 prep. Fellow receivers Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and Jerry Jeudy (ankle) have joined Hinton as limited participants in both of the Broncos' first two practices of the week, but since those two played in the Christmas Day loss to Los Angeles, they both appear to be good bets to suit up Sunday in Kansas…read more

  • Returns to practice

    Hinton (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.

    Analysis: Hinton stepped on the practice field for the first time since he suffered the hamstring injury in a Week 14 loss to the Chiefs. The Broncos will face Kansas City against this Sunday, but it's not guaranteed that Hinton will be available if he fails to advance to full participation in practice by the end of the week.

  • Ruled out for Week 16

    Hinton (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Rams, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

    Analysis: Hinton will sit, but the Broncos could be getting back Courtland Sutton (hamstring), who's listed as questionable. Russell Wilson (concussion) has been cleared entirely and will play against the Rams. Hinton will set his sights on Jan. 1 as his next possible return date against Kansas City.

  • Sitting out another practice

    Head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Hinton (hamstring) won't practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hinton hasn't practiced in any fashion since emerging from the Broncos' Week 14 loss to the Chiefs with a hamstring injury. Unless he's able to reverse the trend and get back on the field in some capacity for Friday's practice, Hinton will likely miss a second straight game this Sunday against the Rams. In a related note, fellow wideout Courtland Sutton seems to be progressing better from his hamstring injury and could end his two-game absence Christmas Day, as he's practicing in a limited…read more

  • Not practicing

    Hinton (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Courtland Sutton (hamstring) is returning to practice as a limited participant, offering potential relief for a receiver group that hasn't provided much behind Jerry Jeudy the past few weeks. Hinton is in danger of missing a second straight game this Sunday against the Rams.

  • Ruled out with hamstring injury

    Hinton (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Cardinals, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

    Analysis: With both Hinton and Courtland Sutton sidelined by hamstring injuries, backup Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien -- who's filling in for Russell Wilson (concussion) -- will be working with a limited receiving corps outside of Jerry Jeudy. Hinton will try to heal up before the Broncos face the Rams on the road in Week 16.

  • Absent for another practice

    Hinton (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: For the second day in a row, the Broncos were missing two of their top three receivers due to hamstring injuries, as Courtland Sutton also sat out. Considering Sutton was withheld from last week's loss to the Chiefs while Hinton played 59 snaps in the contest, the latter may have better odds of suiting up this Sunday against the Cardinals. Before the Broncos decide on either wideout's status for the Week 15 games, they'll see if Sutton and Hinton can log some sort of practice activity Friday.

    Hinton (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Hinton injured his hamstring late in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chiefs. He's mostly been a full-time player for the Broncos recently, with Jerry Jeudy and then Courtland Sutton (hamstring) missing time due to injuries. Sutton and quarterback Russell Wilson (concussion) also missed practice Wednesday, leaving Brett Rypien to throw passes to wideouts Jeudy, Brandon Johnson, Jalen Virgil, Montrell Washington and Freddie Swain during the Broncos' first Week 15 session. Hinton will likely need to…read more

  • Hurts hamstring in loss

    Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Hinton suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chiefs, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Hinton caught five of six targets for 38 yards prior to getting hurt, but Jerry Jeudy (three touchdowns) was the clear leader among Denver's wide receivers. The banged-up Broncos offense also lost quarterback Russell Wilson (concussion) and running back Mike Boone (ankle) to injuries. Denver will face the Cardinals in Week 15.

  • Could see more targets sans Sutton

    Hinton is expected to work as Denver's No. 2 receiver Sunday against the Chiefs with Courtland Sutton (hamstring) ruled out for the contest, Jon Heath of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Jerry Jeudy will likely lead Denver's receiving corps, but Hinton could be next in line for targets from Russell Wilson. Hinton was moderately successful when Jeudy was hurt earlier this season and Sutton was available, turning 17 targets into 154 receiving yards over a three-week stretch.

  • One catch in loss

    Hinton brought in his only target for 11 yards in the Broncos' 10-9 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: Hinton was disappointingly uninvolved despite Courtland Sutton (hamstring) exiting the game in the first half, recording his lowest yardage total since Week 6. The third-year wideout had posted a 12-154 line on 17 targets over the prior three contests, making his underwhelming day particularly disappointing. He'll aim to bounce back in a Week 14 home battle versus the Chiefs.

  • Clear path to top-three role

    Hinton is expected to maintain a regular role in three-receiver sets for Denver in Sunday's game at Baltimore after KJ Hamler (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: While Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and Hamler have combined to play just one snap over the Broncos' past three games, Hinton has been the main beneficiary in terms of playing time. He's logged snaps shares ranging between 87 and 97 percent in those contests and has produced a 12-154-0 receiving line on 13 targets while also carrying once for 13 yards. Though Jeudy is back in action this weekend and should reclaim a starting role on the outside opposite Courtland Sutton, the Broncos will likely have a…read more

  • Nine targets in Week 12 loss

    Hinton caught five of nine targets for 35 yards and rushed once for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Hinton led the Broncos in targets but had to settle for a few modest gains as Russell Wilson (142 passing yards) continued to struggle under center. In three games since Jerry Jeudy hurt his ankle, Hinton has 154 receiving yards on 17 targets. Jeudy's status for Denver's Week 13 matchup with the Ravens remains to be determined.

  • Likely to remain starter Week 12

    Hinton is expected to retain a role as one of the Broncos' starting receivers Sunday against the Panthers with both Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) ruled out for the game.

    Analysis: While Jeudy and Hamler combined to play just one snap over Denver's past two games due to their respective injuries, Hinton was on the field for 125 of a possible 135 plays on offense (93 percent). During that stretch, Hinton compiled a 7-119-0 receiving line on eight targets, and he should continue to remain a key short-yardage/intermediate-range option for Russell Wilson while working primarily out of the slot. The six-foot, 195-pound Hinton likely won't command much attention in the red…read more

  • Catches three passes in loss

    Hinton caught all three of his targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Hinton played 87 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps with both Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) sidelined Sunday. Despite operating as Denver's No. 2 receiver, Hinton had a modest performance while reeling in every ball thrown his direction. The 25-year-old, like most of Denver's skill position players, is held back by an offense still struggling to move the ball effectively. If Jeudy and Hamler continue to miss time, Hinton will likely retain his role as the team's second…read more

  • Listed as active Sunday

    Hinton (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: After being held out of Thursday's practice, Hinton returned to a limited session Friday, but he'll give it a go Sunday. As long as he's not held back by his shoulder issue, Hinton could be a key target for QB Russell Wilson alongside Courtland Sutton, with both Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) unavailable. Also in Denver's Week 11 wideout mix are Jalen Virgil, Montrell Washington and practice squad elevation Brandon Johnson. Hinton caught four passes on five targets for a…read more

  • Questionable with other WRs out

    Hinton (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

    Analysis: If Hinton suits up, he would be in line for an expanded role with both Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) having been ruled out. Hinton is coming off his best game of the season, as he set season highs in catches (four) and receiving yards (62) in Week 10 against the Titans.

  • Not practicing Thursday

    Hinton (shoulder) won't practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: DiLalla notes that Hinton's absence from the practice field Thursday is part of the Broncos' plan this week to help the wideout take care of his shoulder ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. If Hinton practices Friday, he seemingly would have a decent chance to suit up this weekend, though he probably will need to practice in full capacity to avoid an injury designation.

  • Not participating Wednesday

    Hinton (shoulder) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Along with Hinton, Jerry Jeudy (ankle) or KJ Hamler (hamstring) will also sit out the Broncos' first Week 11 practice, leaving the team with a shaky wideout group beyond Courtland Sutton. There's a good chance Hinton is healthier than Jeudy and Hamler given that he was able to finish the game on the field in this past Sunday's loss to the Titans, so a starting role Week 11 against Las Vegas is still possible for Hinton.

  • Steps into increased role

    Hinton recorded four receptions on five targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Tennessee.

    Analysis: Denver entered the game without KJ Hamler (hamstring), and Jerry Jeudy (ankle) was injured on the first play from scrimmage. That opened the door for Hinton to serve a significant role in the offense, and he took advantage by tallying long receptions of 35 and 17 yards. Hinton's role moving forward will be heavily dependent on the health of Jeudy and Hamler, though he showed the ability to capitalize when provided an opportunity Sunday.

  • Recovered for Sunday

    Hinton (illness) is active Sunday against the Titans.

    Analysis: Hinton popped up on the team's injury report Friday when he logged a DNP at practice due to the illness. However, the wideout has recovered to the point that he is feeling well enough to play. With KJ Hamler (hamstring) out, Hinton should see an increase in opportunities against Tennessee.

  • Questionable with illness

    Hinton (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: It's a new ailment for Hinton coming off of Denver's bye in Week 9. He's only seen two targets on 20 snaps in the Broncos' last three games combined, but if he were to miss time, rookie fifth-rounder Montrell Washington would probably be next in line as a depth option.

  • Signed to active roster

    The Broncos signed Hinton off the practice squad Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Hinton was activated from the practice squad for each of the past three games, recording four receptions on five targets for 86 yards over 103 offensive snaps. As a result, the 25-year-old has logged the third-most playing time of any Broncos wideout behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy this season. Hinton caught 15 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown over 16 games with Denver last year, though he should see increased targets with Tim Patrick set to miss the entire 2022 season due to a torn…read more

  • Returns to practice squad

    Hinton reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Hinton caught two of three targets for 39 yards in Sunday's loss to the Raiders. He also saw the third-most snaps of any Broncos receiver with 30, trailing only Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy. This was the third straight week that Hinton was elevated from the practice squad, so he'll need to be signed to the active roster if he's going to appear for Denver again this season.

    The Broncos have brought Hinton back up to their active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Raiders, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Denver elevated Hinton from its practice squad Saturday for Week 3.

    Analysis: It's Hinton's second consecutive week on the active roster after he caught his only target for 20 yards in Week 2 versus Houston. With Jerry Jeudy (ribs) and KJ Hamler (knee/hip) both questionable for Sunday's contest, Hinton could very well be a top-three option in the Broncos' passing attack when they take on the Niners.

    Hinton reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Hinton joined Denver's active roster for Sunday's game against the Texans with KJ Hamler (knee) sidelined. Hinton played 55 of the team's 72 offensive snaps and secured his lone target for 20 yards but will head back to the practice squad following the game.

  • Gets call to active roster

    The Broncos elevated Hinton from the practice squad to their active roster Saturday for Sunday's contest against the Texans, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: With KJ Hamler (knee) out, Hinton will get his first look on the active roster in Week 2. Last year, he appeared in 16 games and caught 15 of 23 targets for 175 yards and one touchdown. Denver lacks wideout depth behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy, but Hinton will likely still be a long shot for heavy offensive snaps in Week 2.

    Hinton was signed to the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Hinton failed to make the 53-man roster in 2022 after playing in 16 games for Denver last season, but he'll remain part of the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. The 25-year-old wide receiver could be the next man up should injuries strike Denver's receiving corps during the season.

    The Broncos waived Hinton on Tuesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Hinton appeared in 16 games for the Broncos last season, catching 15 of 23 targets for 175 yards and a score. However, he finds himself among a wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. Per Troy Renck of Denver 7 News, Hinton is a likely candidate to land on Denver's practice squad if he clears waivers.

  • Shines in preseason win

    Hinton (knee) hauled in three of four targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 17-7 preseason win over the Cowboys on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Hinton tied for second on the team in receptions and made his biggest impact by hauling in a 24-yard touchdown pass off the arm of Josh Johnson just past the midway point of the second quarter. The 25-year-old presumably has an increased chance of a No. 4 or No. 5 receiver role in the wake of Tim Patrick's (knee) season-ending injury, and Hinton will continue to try and make a case for such in next Saturday night's road preseason matchup against the Bills.

  • Not participating in practice

    Hinton (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: The severity of what Hinton is dealing with is unclear, but it sounds like the Broncos are just playing things safe. Tim Patrick, who was third on the team in targets in 2021, tore his ACL during practice Tuesday, which could mean Hinton is in line for an expanded role heading into his third year as a pro.

  • Minimal involvement in 2021

    Hinton finished the 2021 season with 15 catches for 175 yards and one touchdown.

    Analysis: Despite appearing in all but one game this season, Hinton had an underwhelming 2021 campaign. It was difficult for the 24-year-old wideout to get much going playing on just 25 percent of Denver's offensive snaps. Hinton is behind Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick on the depth chart, and all three project to be a member of the Broncos in 2022. Jeudy is still on his rookie contract, while Sutton and Patrick signed multi-year extensions during the season. Hinton is entering the final…read more

  • Catches two passes in loss

    Hinton secured two of five targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Hinton also completed his only pass attempt for one yard. The 24-year-old played a larger role than usual Sunday with both Jerry Jeudy (illness) and Tim Patrick (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Hinton was in on 60 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps and was tied with Courtland Sutton for the second-most targets of any Denver pass catcher. Unfortunately, Hinton was unable to take advantage of his opportunities. If Jeudy and Patrick return in Week 18, Hinton would hold little fantasy…read more

  • Larger role may await Week 17

    Hinton could have a regular role in three-receiver sets Sunday against the Chargers with Jerry Jeudy (illness) and Tim Patrick (illness) not available after landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list and with Courtland Sutton (illness) listed as questionable for the contest, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Vic Fangio said that Sutton could still wind up on the list after sitting out Friday's practice with an illness, potentially leaving Denver without its top three receivers. Hinton and Diontae Spencer were left as the only fully healthy wideouts on the 53-man roster Friday before Travis Fulgham and Seth Williams were elevated from the practice squad as COVID-19 replacements for Jeudy and Patrick. With that in mind, Hinton and Spencer are presumably first in line to fill the vacated…read more

  • Catches one pass

    Hinton caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Hinton remained far down the pecking order of Broncos pass catchers Week 13, seeing just one target while playing only 14 offensive snaps. The 24-year-old wideout's lack of consistent involvement in an offense that already struggles through the air keeps Hinton far off the fantasy radar.

  • Plays two offensive snaps

    Hinton failed to record a single target in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Hinton took a backseat to the healthy pass catchers in the Broncos' offense, as the wideout played on just two offensive snaps in the contest. Barring an injury, Hinton will likely be an afterthought going forward, keeping the 24-year-old far off the fantasy radar as the Broncos head into their Week 11 bye.

  • Good to go

    Hinton (shoulder) is not listed on the Broncos' injury report ahead of Sunday's contest against the Eagles, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Hinton practiced in limited fashion Wednesday, but it looks like the team was just exercising caution. Barring any setbacks, look for him to assume his usual role as the team's No. 4 wideout.

  • Practices limited Wednesday

    Hinton (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity for the Broncos on Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: While it's uncertain when the receiver injured his shoulder, Hinton's injury isn't considered to be serious. If Hinton is unable to play against the Eagles in Week 10, expect Tyrie Cleveland to fill in as Teddy Bridgewater's fourth receiving option.

  • Catches one pass

    Hinton secured his lone target for 40 yards in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Hinton played on just 28 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps, serving in a depth role behind Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick. Teddy Bridgewater's 40-yard connection with Hinton was the second-longest play of the game for Denver and set up an eventual rushing touchdown for Bridgewater. Hinton is developing into a solid receiver, but his limited snap share in Denver's offense caps his fantasy value ahead of a Week 10 tilt against Philadelphia.

  • Plays two offensive snaps

    Hinton was not targeted in Sunday's 17-10 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Hinton played just two of Denver's 53 offensive snaps in Week 8, as the return of Jerry Jeudy from injured reserve predictably forced Hinton down the depth chart. Barring another injury to a fellow wideout, the 24-year-old will fill a depth role role for the Broncos.

  • Quiet in loss

    Hinton caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Thursday's 17-14 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Hinton played on just 48 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Thursday, down from 63 percent in Week 6. Denver trailed Cleveland for the majority of the contest, yet Hinton could not get in on much of the action in the passing game. The 24-year-old is likely to see his involvement on offense take a significant dip with fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy set to make his return from an ankle injury in Week 8. Hinton will remain off the fantasy radar when the Broncos host Washington on Oct. 31.

  • Catches five passes

    Hinton caught all five of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Hinton had a relatively quiet outing on a day when the Broncos trailed the Raiders for the majority of the contest. The 24-year-old remained the third wideout in the pecking order behind Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick, playing on 63 percent of Denver's offensive snaps. With fellow receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) set to make his return to the field in the near future, Hinton's window for fantasy production may be coming to an end soon. Next up for the Broncos is a matchup with the Browns on…read more

  • Hits pay dirt in loss

    Hinton secured two of his three targets for 25 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Hinton played on 65 percent of Denver's offensive snaps Sunday, his highest mark of the season. The wideout's two-yard touchdown grab was his first of the 2021 campaign. The uptick in Hinton's snaps is a direct result of the injury issues plaguing the Broncos' receiving corps, headlined by Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (knee). With Jeudy scheduled to make his return from an ankle injury in the coming weeks, Hinton likely will see a reduction in his playing time. The 24-year-old will be…read more

  • Catches one pass

    Hinton caught one of three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Hinton, like the rest of the Broncos offense, had a tough time getting things going in Week 4, particularly after Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) left the game. Since being signed to Denver's active roster after Jerry Jeudy was placed on IR with an ankle injury, Hinton has not earned much of a role. He did, however, see his snap share on offense jump to 43 percent in Week 4 after playing on only seven percent and six percent of offensive snaps in Weeks 2 and 3, respectively.

    The Broncos signed Hinton from their practice squad Tuesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Hinton had an impressive training camp, but he didn't make the initial 53-man roster and was later signed to the practice squad. The 24-year-old is best known for stepping in as the signal-caller for the Broncos last season after their entire quarterbacks' room landed in COVID-19 protocols. Hinton will replace Jerry Jeudy (ankle), who was placed on IR, on Denver's active roster.

    Analysis: After waiving Hinton on Monday, the Broncos signed the wideout to their practice squad following an impressive training camp. The 24-year-old was praised for his improvements in the offseason, but it wasn't enough for him to make the active roster. Hinton notably stepped in as Denver's signal-caller for a game during the 2020 season when all of the team's quarterbacks landed in the COVID-19 protocol.

  • Cut loose Monday

    The Broncos waived Hinton on Monday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Hinton was memorably called up from the practice squad last season to play quarterback -- a position he hadn't played since college -- after all of Denver's signal-callers landed in COVID-19 protocol. The Wake Forest product completed just one of nine passes for 13 yards and two interceptions. The 24-year-old reportedly impressed as a receiver during OTAs and training camp, but it wasn't enough to crack a deep wideout depth chart.

  • Stands out during OTAs

    Hinton was a standout during the Broncos' OTAs, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hinton is most remembered for his role under center in Week 12 last season, which he took on 24 hours notice when the team had no actual quarterback available. He will face tough odds to land on the team's final roster due to a crowded depth chart at receiver, but he is seemingly off to a good start. Starting quarterback, Drew Lock stated, "he's super-aggressive to the ball. You feel like you can throw him the ball one-on-one and he's going to get it."

  • Signs future pact

    The Broncos signed Hinton to the reserve/future contract Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Hinton suited up in just one game for the Broncos. It was unforgettable. The undrafted rookie out of Wake Forest was called up after the entire Broncos' quarterback room went into COVID-19 protocol. Hinton -- who played wide receiver in his final two seasons at college -- logged 24 snaps under center for the Broncos. He enjoyed little success in that appearance, but he'll be a household name in Denver for years to come even if he never plays another game.

Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID-19 during the practice week, while Denver's other options at the position were ruled out for Week 12 as high-risk close contacts.

    Hinton completed one of nine pass attempts for 13 yards, throwing no touchdowns and two interceptions during Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Saints. He also registered seven rushing yards on two carries.

    Analysis: Hinton was put in a near-impossible spot, elevated into the starting quarterback role from the practice squad Saturday after COVID concerns eliminated all of Denver's foreseeable options from the depth chart. Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID-19 this week, while Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles were all unavailable upon being considered high-risk close contacts.

  • Option for Broncos at QB

    Hinton is expected to play at quarterback for the Broncos in Sunday's game against the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Hilton currently resides on the Broncos' practice squad and is officially listed as a wide receiver. However, he played quarterback for Wake Forest for three seasons before transitioning to wideout in 2018. The Broncos are expected to be creative, meaning the rookie likely won't get all of the work at quarterback. Nevertheless, he's an intriguing fantasy option since he's listed as a WR but carries the floor of a QB. He'll need to be activated from the practice squad before Sunday's game.
