Plays two offensive snaps Hinton was not targeted in Sunday's 17-10 win over Washington.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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 set to make his return to field in the near future, Hinton's chances for fantasy production may be coming to an end soon. Next up for the Broncos is a matchup with the Browns on Thursday night.

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.

Impact 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 tough to trust going forward based on his sporadic usage. If Jeudy does not return Week 7, it's possible that Hinton could have similar involvement in the Broncos' aerial attack when the team hosts the Raiders.

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

Impact Hinton, like the rest of the Broncos offense, had a tough time getting things going in Week 4. Since being signed to Denver's active roster after Jerry Jeudy was placed on IR with an ankle injury, the 24-year-old wideout has not earned much of a role in the Broncos' offense. Hinton did, however, see his offensive snap percentage jump to 43 percent in Week 4 after playing on only 7 percent and 6 percent of offensive snaps in Weeks 2 and 3, respectively. With injuries to Jeudy, KJ Hamler, and Diontae Spencer, Hinton may be called upon to take on more of a role going forward. Hinton will look to make the make of any added opportunities when the Broncos travel to Pittsburgh on Oct. 10.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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. The wide receiver's best chance of being called up to the active roster would be if injuries begin to mount among Denver's pass catchers.

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

Impact 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 receiver corps.

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.
