Denver re-signed Bandy on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bandy spent the majority of the 2025 season on the Broncos' practice squad but made four regular-season appearances with the team, in which he secured all four of his targets for 50 yards and one touchdown. He was also elevated for the team's loss to the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, but he was ultimately deemed a healthy scratch. Bandy will spend the offseason competing to reprise a similar depth role with Denver.

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

Bandy (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Broncos elevated both Bandy and Elijah Moore from the practice squad Saturday, but Denver will go with the latter as the No. 5 receiver in the absence of Troy Franklin (hamstring). Bandy appeared in four regular-season games for the Broncos in 2025 and caught all four of his targets for 50 yards and one touchdown.

The Broncos elevated Bandy from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Bandy reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Friday.
EDGE Analysis
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 on his seven offensive snaps. While Bandy continues to see some usage, he remains behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Lil'Jordan Humphrey in the WR pecking order.

The Broncos have elevated Bandy from the practice squad for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

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

The Broncos signed Bandy to the practice squad Thursday, Mike Klis of 9news.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Broncos waived Bandy on Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.
