ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos have activated three players from the Reserve/COVID-19 list, the team announced Saturday.

Denver activated quarterback Drew Lock, linebacker Justin Strnad and cornerback Michael Ojemudia from the list.

The Broncos received a roster exemption for Lock until Tuesday, which means he will not immediately count against the 53-man roster.

Ojemudia will remain on injured reserve.

Lock was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Nov. 8 and missed the Broncos' games against the Cowboys and Eagles. Strnad and Ojemudia were added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Nov. 9.

Head Coach Vic Fangio previously announced that all three players were vaccinated and had tested positive with breakthrough cases.

Only guard Austin Schlottmann remains on the team's Reserve/COVID-19 list. Practice squad outside linebacker Pita Taumoepenu remains on the Practice Squad/COVID-19 list.
