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.

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.

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.

AUGUST 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Re-signs with Denver The Broncos signed Bandy to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact The wide receiver from San Diego spent his 2024 campaign with the Broncos' practice squad and will now remain in Denver after inking a reserve/future contract with the team Wednesday. Bandy's most recent NFL action came with the Broncos in 2023, failing to record a stat across 10 total snaps (two offensive and eight on special teams) in one appearance. He's expected to compete for a depth role in Denver's wide receiver corps this summer.

JANUARY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Picked back up Bandy signed with the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Impact Bandy linked up with Denver last season, after playing a depth role with the Chargers in 2022. However, the San Diego product only suited up once in 2023, spending most of his time on the Broncos' practice squad. He appears headed for a similar role in 2024.

AUGUST 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Bandy spent the 2023 season on Denver's practice squad, ultimately appearing in one contest with the team. If he clears waivers, he'll likely return to the practice squad with the Broncos ahead of the 2024 season.

WR Michael Bandy picks up 17 yards on catch-and-run | Broncos vs. Cardinals Quarterback Zach Wilson finds wide receiver Michael Bandy for a 17-yard catch-and-run against the Cardinals.

AUGUST 25, 2024 • DENVERBRONCOS.COM

Remains with Denver Bandy was signed to the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of Denver's official website reports.

Impact Bandy's return to Denver's practice unit comes as no surprise as he's been cut by the team and re-signed twice already this season. The wide receiver continues to wait for his first opportunity to join the active roster in 2023.
