Curious murmurs and stunned smiles have swept through Denver’s locker room this week after the addition of 41-year-old tight end Marcedes Lewis, a man whose first NFL game came when many Broncos were still in elementary school.
Now, Lewis is set to take the field Sunday for the first time as a Bronco in his 20th NFL season.
Denver is elevating Lewis from its practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Texans, a source told The Denver Post. It was an expected move after the Broncos signed Lewis this week, in need of blocking-tight-end help with injuries to Nate Adkins (left knee) and Lucas Krull (foot).
