ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos have elevated a pair of defenders for Week 11.

Denver elevated defensive back Keidron Smith and inside linebacker Zach Cunningham from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Smith has appeared in eight games for the Broncos in 2024 and played 49 percent of the special teams snaps in the games in which he's appeared. He has recorded six total tackles.

Smith was waived earlier in the week but was added back to the practice squad.

The Broncos are scheduled to face the Falcons at 2:05 p.m. MT on Sunday.
