Erick Trickel· Aug 15, 2026

After the Broncos' preseason opener, Trickel argued fullback Adam Prentice has shown enough value to earn a spot on the 53-man roster ahead of the team's fourth running back options (Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Badie, Cody Schrader).

“Prentice should stick on the roster over any of them.”

    Adam Prentice to make the roster

    “There has been a debate about whether to go with Prentice or a fourth running back on the 53-man roster... the play of Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Badie, and Cody Schrader made it clear that Prentice should stick on the roster over any of them.”
