Broncos' Luke Wattenberg: Cleared for Week 2
Wattenberg (ankle) is absent from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game versus the Steelers.
After playing every snap in Week 1, Wattenberg kicked the week off as a non-participant at practice due to an ankle issue. He saw his participation increase each day as the week went on, so it looks like Denver was just erring on the side of caution with its starting center. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role versus Pittsburgh.

Broncos' Luke Wattenberg: Listed as DNP
Wattenberg (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Wattenberg played all 69 offensive snaps for the Broncos during Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks, but the 2022 fifth-round pick appears to have tweaked his ankle during the contest. Wattenberg will have a chance to participate in practice Thursday and Friday to prepare for Week 2 against Pittsburgh. Sunday was Wattenberg's first start since Week 13 of the 2022 season.

Broncos' Luke Wattenberg: Dealing with ankle issue
Coach Nathaniel Hackett said Tuesday that Wattenberg (ankle) is day-to-day with an ankle injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
It doesn't sound like anything too serious for Wattenberg, who is still a likely candidate to serve as the primary backup to starting center Lloyd Cushenberry in 2022. Though with Cushenberry also apparently resting Tuesday, it's possible one of Quinn Meinerz, Graham Glasgow or Dalton Risner will be snapping the ball at practice for now.

Broncos' Luke Wattenberg: Denver adds in fifth round
The Broncos selected Wattenberg in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 171st overall.
Wattenberg (6-foot-4, 299 pounds) is a bit light out of Washington, but he has exceptional reach (34 and 1/8-inch arms) to go with standout tested athleticism. His 40 (5.2 seconds), vertical (29.5 inches), broad jump (113 inches) and agility drills were all safely above average for centers. The Broncos already have Lloyd Cushenberry at center, so Wattenberg will probably be a guard or swing backup for Denver.
