Michael Bandy - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Back to practice squad Bandy reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Bandy was elevated to the Broncos' active roster Saturday but ended up being a healthy inactive for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, as Elijah Moore was selected to serve as Denver's WR5 in the absence of Troy Franklin (hamstring). Bandy appeared in four regular-season games for the Broncos in 2025, catching all four of his passes for 50 yards and a touchdown while also contributing on special teams.

Elevated for Sunday The Broncos elevated Bandy from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact Bandy played in four regular-season games for 16 offensive snaps, totalling four receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown on four targets. Bandy will join fellow wide receiver Elijah Moore as a depth option at receiver, elevated as a precaution for a scenario where Troy Franklin (hamstring) cannot suit up for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

Reverts to practice squad Bandy reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Friday.

Impact Bandy was elevated to the active roster ahead of Thursday night's 20-13 win over the Chiefs. The wide receiver caught both of his targets for 14 total yards in his seven offensive snaps. While Bandy continues to see some use, he remains a fleeting target behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

Elevated for Christmas Day The Broncos have elevated Bandy from the practice squad for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Bandy was also elevated for Denver's win over the Packers in Week 15, in which he secured his only target for a 20-yard touchdown while playing just two total offensive snaps. He'll figure to handle a depth role again versus Kansas City on Christmas Day.

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

Impact Bandy was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers, reeling in his only target for a 20-yard touchdown in the second quarter while playing two offensive snaps in the contest. The wide receiver was helping fill in for Pat Bryant (hamstring) in Week 15, but he was still a relative afterthought as Courtland Sutton (60), Lil'Jordan Humphrey (46), Troy Franklin (34) and Marvin Mims (21) logged more snaps on offense. Bandy will now need to be officially signed to the active roster to appear in another contest with Denver this season.

Elevated from practice squad The Broncos elevated Bandy from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Packers, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Impact Bandy could make his third appearance of the season and would provide additional depth at receiver with Pat Bryant (hamstring) sidelined. Bandy has caught just one pass for 16 yards, and this marks the final time the team can elevate him.

Returns to practice squad The Broncos signed Bandy to the practice squad Thursday, Mike Klis of Denver 9 News reports.

Impact After being waived by the Broncos on Tuesday to make room for veteran OT Geron Christian, Bandy cleared waivers and has reunited with the team. Bandy's return may be followed by an elevation to the 53-man roster for Sunday's game against the Chiefs if wide receivers Marvin Mims (concussion) or Trent Sherfield (toe) are unable to suit up.

Cut by Denver The Broncos waived Bandy on Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Bandy was cut in order to make room for the signing of veteran OT Geron Christian, who was signed off Dallas' practice squad. If Bandy clears waivers, it would make sense for him to rejoin Denver via the practice squad.

Signed from practice squad The Broncos signed Bandy to the active roster from the practice squad Thursday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Bandy was elevated for his 2025 debut during the Broncos' win over Houston in Week 9, a contest in which he secured his only target for 16 yards also playing a minor role on special teams. Now that he's been signed to the 53-man roster, Bandy will be eligible to suit up for the remainder of Denver's contests this season, beginning Thursday night versus the Raiders.

Back to practice squad Bandy reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Bandy made his 2025 regular-season debut during the Broncos' 18-15 win over the Texans on Sunday. He played a total of 14 snaps (six on offense, eight on special teams) while hauling in a 16-yard pass on his only target of the game. He also returned four punts for 30 yards, though he fumbled one of those punts late in the second quarter that was scooped up by the Texans and led to a Ka'imi Fairbairn 40-yard field goal four plays later. Bandy could be elevated to the Broncos' active roster for Thursday's game against the Raiders if Marvin Mims (concussion) is not cleared to play.

Broncos announce inactive players for Week 9 game vs. Texans Marcedes Lewis and Michael Bandy, who were elevated on Saturday from the practice squad, are active for Sunday's game.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • DENVERBRONCOS.COM

Elevated for Week 9 Bandy was elevated from the Broncos' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Impact With Marvin Mims (concussion) being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Bandy has been elevated to the active roster for his first regular-season game as a Bronco. The wide receiver finished the preseason with six catches for 59 yards while logging 13 yards on two punt returns. Bandy will likely operate in a reserve capacity as the second punt returner behind Riley Moss. He will also be the fifth wide receiver behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, and Trent Sherfield.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Signed to Denver's practice squad The Broncos signed Bandy to the practice squad Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Impact Bandy spent the entire 2024 season on the Broncos' practice squad, and he will reprise that role in 2025 after failing to make Denver's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He finished the preseason with six catches (on as many targets) for 59 yards while logging 13 yards on two punt returns across three games.

AUGUST 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Broncos Bandy was waived by Denver on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.

Impact Bandy was unable to earn a depth role in a crowded wide receiving corps ahead of the 2025 season. The 27-year-old wideout spent the entire 2024 season on the Broncos' practice squad, and he'll now look to secure a role on another team's roster. If Bandy is unable to latch on with another team, it's possible he could eventually sign with Denver's practice squad once again.
