LeVante Bellamy - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Waived off IR by Broncos Bellamy (ankle) was waived off of injured reserve Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact The running back suffered the ankle injury in the preseason and has been unable to return to the field. He appeared in five games with the Broncos in 2020, rushing four times for 11 yards while catching one pass for five yards. Bellamy will now become a free agent.

Reverts to injured reserve Bellamy (ankle) cleared waivers and reverted to the Broncos' injured reserve Wednesday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact Bellamy was set to miss multiple weeks after suffering the ankle injury during Saturday's preseason opener, and he'll shift to injured reserve after being waived/injured Tuesday by Denver.

AUGUST 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by Denver The Broncos waived Bellamy (ankle) with an injury designation Tuesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Bellamy is nursing an ankle injury with a multi-week recovery timetable, so the Broncos are opting to free up a roster spot. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, Bellamy will revert to the team's injured reserve.

AUGUST 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out multiple weeks Bellamy (ankle) is expected to be sidelined multiple weeks, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Impact Bellamy suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's exhibition game, and it looks like he will be in danger of missing future preseason contests. With Mike Boone (quadriceps) also out multiple weeks, Royce Freeman and Damarea Crockett seem primed to handle increased reps.

Tweaks ankle Bellamy (ankle) is questionable to return to Denver's preseason game against the Vikings on Saturday, Patrick Smyth reports.

Impact The second-year running back played in five games for Denver last year, carrying the ball four times for 11 yards. Bellamy is buried on the depth chart, so if his injury is anything serious then he is likely done in Denver.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in rookie season Bellamy finished the season with 11 yards on four carries and a five-yard catch.

Impact Bellamy impressed during training camp but did not record his first touch until Week 16. Even with Phillip Lindsay dinged up for much of the season, Bellamy had trouble cracking the lineup with a logjam at the position featuring Lindsay, Melvin Gordon and Royce Freeman. With all three either under contract or heading to restricted free agency this offseason, something will have to give to allow Bellamy to break through in 2021.

Questionable heading into finale Bellamy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Bellamy was contained to limited participation Wednesday and Thursday before submitting a full Friday session, meaning the undrafted rookie's status is trending positively for Week 17. The 24-year-old made just his fourth appearance of the season last Sunday in a loss to the Chargers after a knee injury had kept him on IR between Oct. 10 and Nov. 24. Having been subsequently waived, re-signed to the practice squad and promoted to the active roster, Bellamy got his first offensive opportunity against L.A. in Week 16, collecting 16 scrimmage yards on four touches.

JANUARY 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Earns first touches of season Bellamy ran for 11 yards on three carries and added a five-yard catch during Sunday's 19-16 loss at the Chargers.

Impact Bellamy saw his first action of the season following Denver's placement of Phillip Lindsay (hip) on injured reserve. He even enjoyed some early offensive snaps behind Melvin Gordon thanks to the balky hip of Royce Freeman. The undrafted rookie's forecast for Sunday's finale against the Raiders is largely dependent on Freeman's health. If Freeman still is nursing his hip, expect Denver to give Bellamy a few extra looks before the offseason.

DECEMBER 29, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted from practice squad Bellamy signed to Denver's active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact The 24-year-old will rejoin the Broncos' active roster with Phillip Lindsay (hip/knee) landing on injured reserve. Bellamy is without a touch in three games this season, but he could work as the secondary tailback behind Melvin Gordon if Royce Freeman (hip), who is listed as questionable, is unable to play Sunday against the Chargers.

Waived by Broncos Bellamy was waived by Denver on Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact The rookie out of Western Michigan was activated from IR on Tuesday before being let go the following day. Per Klis, Denver hopes to re-sign Bellamy to the practice squad. After rushing for 1,472 yards as a senior at Western Michigan last year, Bellamy has been used exclusively on special teams in his three contests this season.

Returns from IR The Broncos activated Bellamy (knee) from injured reserve Tuesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Bellamy suffered a knee injury in Week 4 against the Jets and was subsequently placed on IR. The undrafted rookie out of Western Michigan has practiced for nearly three weeks now and is ready to return to action. Prior to the injury, Bellamy played exclusively on special teams and likely will maintain that role moving forward.

NOVEMBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Preparing to return Bellamy (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Friday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Bellamy has missed the last three games, but he returned to practice Thursday and is eligible to play Sunday against the Falcons. There's a decent chance he's not activated for that game, but the depth running back should be back in action soon. Bellamy played strictly on special teams before this injury.

NOVEMBER 7, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to IR The Broncos placed Bellamy (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Bellamy operated strictly on special teams over the last three games even with Phillip Lindsay out of the lineup with turf toe, so his minimum three-game absence shouldn't affect the Broncos' backfield depth much. He's eligible to return Week 9 against the Falcons.

Rejoins main roster Bellamy was promoted from Denver's practice squad Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Bellamy's addition suggests the Broncos might once again be without Phillip Lindsay (toe) against the Jets on Thursday, leaving only Melvin Gordon and Royce Freeman in front of Bellamy at running back. The 23-year-old Western Michigan product suited up for Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay, but he only appeared in a special teams role.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back down to practice squad Bellamy was reverted back to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Impact Bellamy was called up for the Week 4 loss to Tampa Bay. He played 18 special teams snaps and recorded a pair of tackles but didn't see the field on offense.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted to active roster Bellamy was elevated to the Broncos' active roster Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Bellamy's addition to the active roster is for insurance, as Phillip Lindsay (toe) is not expected to play in the contest. Should that ultimately be the case, Bellamy will be third behind Melvin Gordon and Royce Freeman on the depth chart. This will be the undrafted free agent's first NFL game.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to practice squad Bellamy reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, Jon Heath of USA Today reports.

Impact Bellamy was added to the active roster over the weekend in order to give Denver some added depth in the backfield but he only ended up playing 14 snaps on special teams.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Joins active roster Bellamy was promoted to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact The 23-year-old will move up from the practice squad as an extra player for Week 2. Bellamy will provide depth at running back with Phillip Lindsay (toe) sidelined, though he's unlikely to fill a significant role with Melvin Gordon and Royce Freeman handling the load.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Done in Denver The Broncos waived Bellamy on Saturday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Impact Bellamy put together a modestly impressive training camp, but without the benefit of preseason exhibitions he was fighting an uphill battle to earn a spot on the final roster. If he clears waivers, the Broncos could bring back the undrafted rookie out of Western Michigan as a member of the practice squad.
