Strnad (foot) was a full participant in Monday's walkthrough practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Strnad was unable to play in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars due to a foot injury. However, his full participation in Monday's session indicates that he's past the injury and on track to play Thursday against the Chiefs. Strnad could be deployed in a starting role at inside linebacker if Dre Greenlaw (hamstring) is unable to play.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Won't play Week 16
Strnad (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Strnad was unable to practice all week due to a foot injury, and his next opportunity to play will be Thursday against the Chiefs. Without Strnad, the Broncos will have one less contributor on special teams and have less depth in their linebacker corps.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Strnad (foot) did not practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Strnad was removed from the Broncos' Week 15 win over the Packers aftering injuring his right ankle and did not return. He's opened Week 16 prep with a DNP due to a listed foot issue, and he'll have two more opportunities to practice and have a chance at playing Sunday against the Jaguars. Strnad has seen his playing time on defense decrease since mid-October after Dre Greenlaw was activated from injured reserve, so the former has worked mostly in a rotational role on defense and as a contributor on special teams.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Tallies five tackles
Strnad recorded five total tackles and one pass defensed in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.
For the third straight game, Strnad was credited for five total tackles. The veteran linebacker has now recorded 15 total tackles (five solo) through three games while also logging two sacks, the second-highest total among all Denver defenders. Strnad should continue to play a prominent role in the Broncos' defense while teammate Dre Greenlaw (quadriceps) is on injured reserve. The 29-year-old will look to make an impact in Week 4 when the Broncos host the Bengals with quarterback Jake Browning at the helm.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Staying in Mile High City
Denver will sign Strnad to a one-year, $2.7 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Strnad played the best football of his career in 2024, racking up 73 tackles (48 solo) and 3.0 sacks over 17 games. He got extended run as a starter for the first time as a pro after Alex Singleton suffered a torn ACL in Week 3, but the free-agent signing of Dre Greenlaw to a large contract suggests Strnad will move back into a rotational role to start 2025.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Career year in 2024
Strnad logged 73 total tackles (48 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and three passes defended across 17 regular-season games in 2024.
The 28-year-old from Wake Forest had the most productive season of his NFL career in 2024, setting new career highs in tackles, sacks and passes defended while playing 647 defensive snaps. Strnad filled in for the injured Alex Singleton (knee) with Denver's first-team defense, starting nine games this season. Following Strnad's best year as a pro, he's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer. He's likely to serve as the Broncos' top reserve inside linebacker again if he returns to Denver in 2025.
