The Denver Broncos have made significant changes to their running back lineup, designating Tyler Badie to return from injured reserve and promoting Blake Watson from the practice squad. This decision comes after Watson's debut performance, where he managed four carries for 10 yards and one catch for 13 yards against the Chargers.

Head coach Sean Payton expressed optimism about Watson's potential, noting his strong practice performance. Watson may see more playing time in the upcoming game against the Bengals, especially if Jaleel McLaughlin remains unavailable due to a quad injury.
