Broncos third-year running back Jaleel McLaughlin is one of three Broncos who are in line to make their season debuts today when they face the New York Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

McLaughlin, who joined the Broncos as a undrafted free agent in 2023, produced 1,142 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns during his first two seasons and played in 33 of the team’s 34 regular-season games during that stretch. This season, though, the Broncos added J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, who have become the team’s top two running backs. Tyler Badie, meanwhile, won the job as the team’s third-down back to begin the season and was active during each of the first five games.

The Broncos have decided to give McLaughlin a look over Badie, who is a healthy scratch against the Jets. McLaughlin’s return experience could make give him role in that facet of the game, too.

Also making his season debut — and his NFL debut, at that — is rookie outside linebacker Que Robinson. The opportunity for the fourth-round pick was created when Jonah Elliss suffered a shoulder injury in last week’s game against the Eagles that has made him unavailable today.

Finally, the Broncos will welcome back veteran defensive tackle Malcolm Roach, who missed the first five games of the season with a calf injury. Roach practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and was officially activated off injured reserve Saturday. The Broncos also elevated offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton, who will provide depth in the first game without injured left guard Ben Powers.

The rest of the inactives for the Broncos: offensive lineman Frank Crum, defensive linemen Jordan Jackson and Sai’vion Jones and quarterback Sam Ehlinger, who is dressed as the team’s emergency QB.
