Roach recorded 41 tackles (15 solo), including 4.0 sacks, across 12 regular-season games with Denver in 2025.
EDGE Analysis
Roach filled a rotational role as an important part of the Broncos' defensive line in 2025, recording a career-high 4.0 sacks this season. The veteran signed a three-year contract extension in November, keeping him in Denver through 2028. Since joining the Broncos last season, Roach has recorded 84 total tackles (33 solo), 6.5 sacks, two passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 29 regular-season contests. The 27-year-old is likely to continue to make an impact in the 2026 campaign in what was one of the top defensive units in the league in 2025.

Roach signed a three-year, $29.25 million contract extension with the Broncos on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roach was set to hit free agency following the 2025 season, but he's now inked an extension to remain in Denver through 2028. The veteran defensive lineman from Texas has flourished with the Broncos, recording 64 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, two passes defensed and one forced fumble across 23 regular-season games in the past two seasons. Following Wednesday's extension, he's expected to remain an integral part of Denver's defensive line for years to come.

Roach (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets in London, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Suiting up for the first time all season after being reinstated from injured reserve Saturday, Roach projects to fill a rotational role along Denver's defensive line in Week 6. Over his 17 regular-season appearances with Denver in 2025, Roach recorded 2.5 sacks among his 43 tackles and was credited with a forced fumble and fumble recovery.

The Broncos activated Roach (calf) from injured reserve Saturday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roach opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a calf injury. He was a full participant in the final two practices of the week after being designated to return Wednesday, so his reinstatement off IR indicates that he is on track to make his 2025 debut against the Jets on Sunday in London, England. Roach tallied 43 tackles (18 solo), including 2.5 sacks, two pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games in 2024.

Roach (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, head coach Sean Payton said Friday, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Payton added that Roach is "doing well." In order to make his season debut Sunday against the Jets in London, Roach would first have to be activated from injured reserve. He was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, opening up a three-week window for the Broncos to activate the defensive tackle.

Roach (calf) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Texas product was sidelined for Denver's first five games this season due to a calf injury, but it now appears he's nearing a return. Roach appeared in all 17 of the Broncos' regular-season games in 2024, recording 43 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and two passes defended. He now has 21 days to be added to Denver's active roster before reverting to IR. Once fully healthy, Roach is expected to serve as one of the team's top interior defensive linemen.

Roach (calf) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roach was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans on Friday, but he'll now be out for at least the first four games of the season. Roach had a career-best campaign in 2024, so he should have a decent role upon his return.

Roach (calf) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus Tennessee, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roach popped up on Denver's injury report with a calf issue Thursday before missing practice Friday, and now he'll have to sit out Sunday. In his stead, Jordan Jackson could see an increased snap count on the defensive line in Week 1.

Roach recorded 43 total tackles (18 solo), including 2.5 sacks, two passes defended and one forced fumble over 17 regular-season games in 2024.
EDGE Analysis
The first-year Bronco had the best year of his NFL career in 2024, setting new career highs in tackles, sacks and forced fumbles, despite serving as the team's No. 2 nose tackle behind D.J. Jones. Roach outperformed Jones in several key categories, tallying more tackles (43 to 42), sacks (2.5 to 1.0) and tackles for loss (five to one) this season. With Jones set to hit unrestricted free agency this summer, Roach likely will have the opportunity to compete for the team's top interior defensive lineman spot. He's expected to remain in Denver in 2025 after signing a two-year, $7 million deal with the Broncos last offseason.
