Broncos elevate 41-year-old Marcedes Lewis to play vs. Texans
Our Summary
Tight end Marcedes Lewis, recently signed to the Denver Broncos' practice squad, has been elevated to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. At 41, Lewis becomes the oldest player in Broncos history and the oldest tight end in NFL history. He is the second-oldest active player in the league, following Aaron Rodgers. Originally drafted in 2006 by the Jacksonville Jaguars, Lewis has played for the Jaguars, Green Bay Packers, and Chicago Bears. Denver's need for a tight end arose after injuries to Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull, and unsuccessful waiver claims for Brendan Bates and Ben Sims. Lewis brings extensive experience to a position requiring immediate reinforcement.
