Gets chance with Tennessee The Titans signed Watson (knee) to their practice squad Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Watson spent time with the Broncos during training camp but was waived with an injury settlement in late August after suffering a PCL strain in Denver's final preseason contest. According to Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette, Denver was hoping to bring Watson back on a practice-squad deal but would have needed to wait until at least Week 7 due to the injury settlement. Since Watson is now back to health, he instead opted to join the Titans so that he can begin making his case for an opportunity on the active roster.

Set to be let go Watson (knee) is expected to be waived after reaching an injury settlement with the Broncos, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Watson suffered a PCL strain in the team's preseason finale against the Saints on Saturday, and he will now be let go instead of being placed on injured reserve. The running back will rehab the injury and attempt to pass a physical and sign elsewhere in 2025.

2025 UFL Rosters: See who's playing for all eight teams

Accumulates 23 yards in 2024 Watson logged four carries for 10 yards and added one catch (on two targets) for 13 yards across two regular-season games in 2024.

Impact The Broncos signed Watson as an undrafted free agent in late April. He earned a spot on the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he was waived in mid-October after being a healthy scratch in five of Denver's first six regular-season games. He opted to stick around on the practice squad and was elevated to the active roster for Week 16 against the Chargers. Watson will be on the Broncos' 90-man roster when the new league year begins March 12 and will look to earn a rotational spot in the backfield for the 2025 campaign.

FEBRUARY 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Signed to active roster The Broncos signed Watson to their active roster from their practice squad Tuesday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Watson appeared in two games for Denver while on their practice squad and has carried the ball twice for nine yards. He could see increased usage once again during Saturday's matchup versus the Bengals if Jaleel McLaughlin (quadricep) is out again.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to practice squad Watson reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Watson was elevated to Denver's active roster for the second time this season ahead of the Week 16 loss to the Chargers, taking four carries for 10 yards while catching one of his two targets for 13 yards over just 10 offensive snaps. The Memphis product could be elevated again for the Broncos' Week 17 matchup against the Bengals if Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) is sidelined for the second consecutive game.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated for TNF against Bolts The Broncos elevated Watson from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Thursday night's game against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact It's the second time Watson has been elevated from the practice squad this season. His first instance took place in Week 5 against the Raiders, and he finished that game with two snaps (one on offense, one on special teams), but didn't otherwise show up on the box score. Watson will serve as Denver's No. 3 running back Thursday behind Javonte Williams and Audric Estime due to Jaleel McLaughlin being ruled out with a quadriceps injury.

Staying in Mile High City The Broncos signed Watson to the practice squad Saturday.

Impact Watson was waived by the Broncos on Thursday after being a healthy scratch in five of Denver's six regular-season games. He had the option of joining another team in need of backfield depth after clearing waivers, but the 25-year-old running back has opted to stick around on the Broncos' practice squad.

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by Denver The Broncos waived Watson from the active roster Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Impact Watson signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in late April. He was able to make the final 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but his lone appearance of the regular season came in Week 5 against the Raiders, when he played just one snap each on offense and special teams. Should he clear waivers, Watson will look to sign with a team in need of backfield depth.

Won't play at Tampa Bay Watson (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game at the Buccaneers.

Impact Watson will have to wait at least one more week to make his NFL debut. In his stead, Tyler Badie will suit up for the second straight week to serve as Denver's third option out of the backfield.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Week 2 Watson is expected to be active for the Broncos' Week 2 game against the Steelers on Sunday after Audric Estime (ankle) was placed on injured reserve, Chris Tomasson of The Denver...

Impact The Broncos went with three running backs for the regular-season opener against the Seahawks, which left Watson as a healthy inactive behind Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin and Estime. With Estime set to miss at least the next four regular-season games while on IR, Watson will slide into the No. 3 role in the backfield behind Williams and McLaughlin for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh. Watson played in all three of Denver's preseason games and turned 26 carries into 84 yards and one touchdown and added two catches for 46 yards.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch for opener Watson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Seahawks.

Impact Watson is clearly behind Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin and rookie fifth-round pick Audric Estime on the running back depth chart, making his inactive status for the opener unsurprising. The undrafted rookie beat the odds to make the final 53-man roster, but Watson will likely need an injury to one of his aforementioned trio of teammates to garner active status in the foreseeable future.

Clears injury designation Watson (leg) was activated from the active/non-football injury list Thursday and returned to practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Watson will receive his first training camp action after being signed as a UDFA out of Memphis in the spring. However, the 24-year-old will likely be facing an uphill battle for a spot in the Broncos backfield with Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie all returning. Plus Denver added Audric Estime in the fifth round of the 2024 draft.

AUGUST 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to recover Watson is expected to be recover from a slight leg muscle tweak that landed him on the Broncos' active/non-football injury list, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Watson's placement on the NFI list is seemingly a procedural matter heading into training camp. A quick recovery would be in the undrafted rookie's best interest, as he is attempting to earn a depth role in Denver's backfield. Thus, the more time on the field the better.
