# Chad Jensen: With Matt Henningsen lost to a torn Achilles, Jensen projects Denver's defensive line: Zach Allen, D.J. Jones and Malcolm Roach as the starting trio, with Eyioma Uwazurike, Sai'vion Jones, Tyler Onyedim and Jordan Jackson rounding out the seven-man group on the 53-man roster. **Claimed:** Aug 9, 2026 **Pundit:** Chad Jensen — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/chad-jensen **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/broncos/onsi/broncos-place-matt-henningsen-on-ir-how-it-reshapes-the-dl-battle 7 checkable claims — 4 roster spot calls and 3 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 8 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > The All-Pro Zach Allen, D.J. Jones, and Malcolm Roach will be the likely starting trio, with Eyioma Uwazurike (who's had an amazing camp), Sai'vion Jones, Tyler Onyedim, and Jordan Jackson the likely names headed for the roster. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Eyioma Uwazurike to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Eyioma Uwazurike, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **D.J.
