WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. — Tyler Badie’s on the rise.
Up the depth chart, yes, and now from the Broncos’ practice squad to the 53-man roster.
The team signed Badie to the active roster Wednesday, giving him the spot that opened when inside linebacker Alex Singleton went on injured reserve with a torn ACL.
“I’m just grateful,” Badie told reporters Wednesday. “I’m just grateful for the opportunity and the biggest thing is I just want to win games. Just help the team win. That’s what I’m here to do.”
It’s a move that signals what has already become obvious: Badie is forcing his way into the offensive game plan for Denver after he rushed for 70 yards on nine carries in a 26-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
