• Kendall Hinton: Surprise cut for Denver

  08/27/2023 • By RotoWire

  The Broncos waived Hinton on Sunday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports. Hinton has spent time on and off the Broncos' active roster over the past three seasons, and he appeared in 12 games with the team last year, catching 24 of 33 targets for 311 yards -- all of which were career highs. Therefore, he appeared to be a likely candidate to earn one of the team's final wide receiver spots behind Marvin Mims, Brandon Johnson and Marquez Callaway this preseason. Instead, Hinton was included among the team's initial round of roster cuts heading into the 2023 campaign. The 26-year-old did undergo a minor knee scope this offseason and opened training camp on the active/PUP list before he was quickly activated July 28, and he is considered fully healthy for this coming season. Nonetheless, his removal should increase the odds for wideouts like Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Taylor Grimes and Montrell Washington to make Denver's final 53-man roster. If Hinton is not claimed off waivers by another team, he'll likely receive a practice-squad offer from Denver prior to Week 1.

• Broncos' Kendall Hinton: Set to return for training camp

  Hinton, who was dealing with a knee injury, was removed from the Broncos' active/PUP list Friday after passing his physical, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports. Hinton was placed on the active/PUP list Sunday after he underwent a minor offseason knee scope at the end of June. Now that he's been removed from that list, Hinton can participate in practices and preseason games. Hinton is coming off having set career highs in targets (40), receptions (24) and receiving yards (311) during the 2022 campaign. He's set to compete for a wide receiver depth spot and has his work cut out for him as he operates behind Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, Tim Patrick, KJ Hamler (pectoral) and Marvin Mims (hamstring).

• Broncos' Kendall Hinton: Starts training camp on PUP list

  07/23/2023 • By RotoWire

  The Broncos placed Hinton (knee) on the active/PUP list Sunday. Hinton underwent a minor offseason knee scope at the end of June and won't be ready to practice at the beginning of training camp. However, the wideout is eligible to practice and/or play at any point during the preseason. Hinton posted 24 receptions on 33 targets for 311 yards last year -- all career highs -- but if Denver's wideout corps is healthy in 2023, he'll have a tough time stealing snaps away from Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, Tim Patrick, KJ Hamler (pectoral) and Marvin Mims.

• Broncos' Kendall Hinton: Undergoes minor offseason procedure

  06/28/2023 • By RotoWire

  Hinton said Wednesday that he underwent a minor knee scope this offseason and is expected to be fully recovered by training camp, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports. Hinton dealt with a hamstring injury at the end of the 2022 campaign, but he also was seemingly battling a minor knee issue. Regardless, the 26-year-old should be full-go to start 2023. The wideout caught 24 of 33 targets for 311 yards -- all career highs -- across 12 appearances last season and was used sparingly as a punt returner. However, if Denver's wideout corps is back to full strength, Hinton will have a difficult time garnering snaps behind Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, Tim Patrick, KJ Hamler (pectoral) and Marvin Mims.

  Hinton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Hinton will finish the season with his third absence in four games. The 25-year-old wide receiver will have plenty of time to heal up in the offseason after totaling 24 catches for 311 yards on 33 targets across 12 games in his third pro campaign.
