KENDALL HINTON NEWS

Likely to remain starter Week 12 Hinton is expected to retain a role as one of the Broncos' starting receivers Sunday against the Panthers with both Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) ruled out for the...

Impact While Jeudy and Hamler combined to play just one snap over Denver's past two games due to their respective injuries, Hinton was on the field for 125 of a possible 135 plays on offense (93 percent). During that stretch, Hinton compiled a 7-119-0 receiving line on eight targets, and he should continue to remain a key short-yardage/intermediate-range option for Russell Wilson while working primarily out of the slot. The six-foot, 195-pound Hinton likely won't command much attention in the red zone, but he could see enough target volume to have some utility in full- or half-point PPR leagues.

Catches three passes in loss Hinton caught all three of his targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Raiders.

Impact Hinton played 87 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps with both Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) sidelined Sunday. Despite operating as Denver's No. 2 receiver, Hinton had a modest performance while reeling in every ball thrown his direction. The 25-year-old, like most of Denver's skill position players, is held back by an offense still struggling to move the ball effectively. If Jeudy and Hamler continue to miss time, Hinton will likely retain his role as the team's second option at wideout behind Courtland Sutton when the Broncos visit the Panthers in Week 12.

Listed as active Sunday Hinton (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact After being held out of Thursday's practice, Hinton returned to a limited session Friday, but he'll give it a go Sunday. As long as he's not held back by his shoulder issue, Hinton could be a key target for QB Russell Wilson alongside Courtland Sutton, with both Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) unavailable. Also in Denver's Week 11 wideout mix are Jalen Virgil, Montrell Washington and practice squad elevation Brandon Johnson. Hinton caught four passes on five targets for a season-high 62 yards in a loss to Tennessee last weekend, so he represents an option for those scrambling for a short-term WR option.

Questionable with other WRs out Hinton (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

Impact If Hinton suits up, he would be in line for an expanded role with both Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) having been ruled out. Hinton is coming off his best game of the season, as he set season highs in catches (four) and receiving yards (62) in Week 10 against the Titans.

Not practicing Thursday Hinton (shoulder) won't practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact DiLalla notes that Hinton's absence from the practice field Thursday is part of the Broncos' plan this week to help the wideout take care of his shoulder ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. If Hinton practices Friday, he seemingly would have a decent chance to suit up this weekend, though he probably will need to practice in full capacity to avoid an injury designation.

Not participating Wednesday Hinton (shoulder) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Along with Hinton, Jerry Jeudy (ankle) or KJ Hamler (hamstring) will also sit out the Broncos' first Week 11 practice, leaving the team with a shaky wideout group beyond Courtland Sutton. There's a good chance Hinton is healthier than Jeudy and Hamler given that he was able to finish the game on the field in this past Sunday's loss to the Titans, so a starting role Week 11 against Las Vegas is still possible for Hinton.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Steps into increased role Hinton recorded four receptions on five targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Tennessee.

Impact Denver entered the game without KJ Hamler (hamstring), and Jerry Jeudy (ankle) was injured on the first play from scrimmage. That opened the door for Hinton to serve a significant role in the offense, and he took advantage by tallying long receptions of 35 and 17 yards. Hinton's role moving forward will be heavily dependent on the health of Jeudy and Hamler, though he showed the ability to capitalize when provided an opportunity Sunday.

Recovered for Sunday Hinton (illness) is active Sunday against the Titans.

Impact Hinton popped up on the team's injury report Friday when he logged a DNP at practice due to the illness. However, the wideout has recovered to the point that he is feeling well enough to play. With KJ Hamler (hamstring) out, Hinton should see an increase in opportunities against Tennessee.

Questionable with illness Hinton (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact It's a new ailment for Hinton coming off of Denver's bye in Week 9. He's only seen two targets on 20 snaps in the Broncos' last three games combined, but if he were to miss time, rookie fifth-rounder Montrell Washington would probably be next in line as a depth option.

OCTOBER 11, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Signed to active roster The Broncos signed Hinton off the practice squad Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Hinton was activated from the practice squad for each of the past three games, recording four receptions on five targets for 86 yards over 103 offensive snaps. As a result, the 25-year-old has played the third most playing time of any Broncos wideout behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy this season. Hinton caught 15 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown over 16 games with Denver last year, though he should see increased targets with Tim Patrick set to miss the entire 2022 season due to a torn ACL.

Returns to practice squad Hinton reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Hinton caught two of three targets for 39 yards in Sunday's loss to the Raiders. He also saw the third most snaps of any Broncos receiver with 30, trailing only Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy. This was the third straight week that Hinton was elevated from the practice squad, so he'll need to be signed to the active roster if he's going to appear for Denver again this season.

Will be active vs. San Francisco Denver elevated Hinton from its practice squad Saturday for Week 3.

Impact It's Hinton's second consecutive week on the active roster after he caught his only target for 20 yards in Week 2 versus Houston. With Jerry Jeudy (ribs) and KJ Hamler (knee/hip) both questionable for Sunday's contest, Hinton could very well be a top-three option in the Broncos' passing attack when they take on the Niners.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets call to active roster The Broncos elevated Hinton from the practice squad to their active roster Saturday for Sunday's contest against the Texans, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Impact With KJ Hamler (knee) out, Hinton will get his first look on the active roster in Week 2. Last year, he appeared in 16 games and caught 15 of 23 targets for 175 yards and one touchdown. Denver lacks wideout depth behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy, but Hinton will likely still be a long shot for heavy offensive snaps in Week 2.
