Denver Broncos move on from new special teamer after just one game originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here. The Denver Broncos have been looking for a spark on special teams for weeks. That led to the team taking a shot on special teams ace J.T. Gray.

After making his Denver debut on Sunday, J.T. Gray was cut by the Broncos with an injury designation on Tuesday.

As the Raiders head to Empower Field at Mile High, they'll look to break not only the Broncos' six-game win streak, but another home-based streak. Denver owns the longest active home winning streak in the league with nine straight wins (dating back to Week 8, 2024).

While preseason favorites Kansas City and Baltimore stumble along, the Denver Broncos are tied with fellow upstarts New England and Indianapolis for the best record in the NFL at 7-2. The Broncos are a game ahead of the Chargers and two ahead of the Chiefs in their quest to end Kansas City's nine-year reign atop the AFC

Meyers (6-2, 193 pounds) has played against the Broncos four times in his career, hauling in 28 receptions for 335 yards and three touchdowns in those contests. The 28-year-old receiver totaled 191 receptions for 2,186 yards and 12 touchdowns with the Raiders from 2023-2025 after beginning his career with the New England Patriots (2019-2022).

“The Denver defense is again among the best in the NFL, but questions exist offensively. Bo Nix ranks 31st in success rate among 34 qualifying quarterbacks, ahead of only Dillon Gabriel, Cam Ward and Russell Wilson. There’s a lot to like elsewhere, though,” Josh Kendall and Chad Graff write. See the full rankings.

When Wil Lutz authored a 34-yard kick to end the fourth quarter on Sunday afternoon, the 7-2 Denver Broncos topped the Houston Texans, 18-15, and secured their first six-game winning streak since the franchise's last Super Bowl winner back in 2015.

It is becoming a familiar script. Denver QB Bo Nix struggled early, but found his rhythm in the fourth quarter for an 18-15 win.

Signed by the Broncos on Oct. 13 — reuniting with former Saints head coach and special teams coordinator Sean Payton and Darren Rizzi, respectively — Gray suffered a hamstring injury amid his debut with the club in last Sunday's victory over the Houston Texans.
