Strnad (foot) was a full participant in Monday's walkthrough practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Strnad was unable to play in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars due to a foot injury. However, his full participation in Monday's session indicates that he's past the injury and on track to play Thursday against the Chiefs. Strnad could be deployed in a starting role at inside linebacker if Dre Greenlaw (hamstring) is unable to play.

Strnad (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Strnad was unable to practice all week due to a foot injury, and his next opportunity to play will be Thursday against the Chiefs. Without Strnad, the Broncos will have one less contributor on special teams and have less depth in their linebacker corps.

Strnad (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Strnad was removed from the Broncos' Week 15 win over the Packers aftering injuring his right ankle and did not return. He's opened Week 16 prep with a DNP, and he'll have two more opportunities to practice and have a chance at playing Sunday against the Jaguars. Strnad has seen his playing time on defense decrease since mid-October after Dre Greenlaw was activated from injured reserve, so the former has worked mostly in a rotational role on defense and as a contributor on special teams.

Strnad (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers, James Palmer of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Strnad was unable to walk off the field under his own power after injuring his ankle in the first quarter. Jordan Turner will step into a larger rotational role at inside linebacker behind Alex Singleton and Dre Greenlaw for as long as Strnad is out of the game.

Strnad tallied 10 tackles (four solo) Sunday in a 22-19 win over the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Strnad logged a start with Alex Singleton (illness) missing the contest. Strnad ended up reaching a career-high mark with 10 stops, which paced the Broncos in the big victory. Denver is on bye in Week 12, and it's unclear if Singleton will be back for Week 13. If not, Strnad figures to get another start at linebacker.

Strnad recorded five total tackles (two solo) and an interception in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Strnad played a season-low 54 percent of the team's defensive snaps, but he had a major impact on the game, picking off Jaxson Dart late in the fourth quarter. The linebacker has now compiled 30 total tackles (10 solo), including 3.5 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed, one of which was an interception, over seven games this season.

Strnad recorded six tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, during the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Strnad combined with Jonathon Cooper for an eight-yard sack on Justin Fields on the last play in the third quarter, and Strnad tacked on another by himself late in the fourth frame. Strnad is now up to 3.5 sacks through six regular-season games, which has already surpassed his total from 2024 (3.0 sacks through 17 regular-season games).

Strnad recorded five total tackles and one pass defensed in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
For the third straight game, Strnad was credited for five total tackles. The veteran linebacker has now recorded 15 total tackles (five solo) through three games while also logging two sacks, the second-highest total among all Denver defenders. Strnad should continue to play a prominent role in the Broncos' defense while teammate Dre Greenlaw (quadriceps) is on injured reserve. The 29-year-old will look to make an impact in Week 4 when the Broncos host the Bengals with quarterback Jake Browning at the helm.

Strnad recorded five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Broncos' win over the Titans on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Strnad made the start at linebacker alongside Alex Singleton in the middle of Denver's defense. Strnad logged 67 percent of the defensive snaps and recorded one of Denver's six team sacks against rookie No. 1 overall pick Cameron Ward. Strnad should remain in the starting lineup for Denver until Dre Greenlaw returns from his quadriceps injury.

Denver will sign Strnad to a one-year, $2.7 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Strnad played the best football of his career in 2024, racking up 73 tackles (48 solo) and 3.0 sacks over 17 games. He got extended run as a starter for the first time as a pro after Alex Singleton suffered a torn ACL in Week 3, but the free-agent signing of Dre Greenlaw to a large contract suggests Strnad will move back into a rotational role to start 2025.
