The Denver Broncos<\/a> are preparing to face the Green Bay Packers in a potential Super Bowl preview this Sunday, and in the lead up to the Mile High City clash, the Broncos have announced a roster decision.<\/p>\n

Denver has decided to waive tight end Marcedes Lewis in what Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post called a “procedural move,” noting that Lewis will probably be back on the practice squad assuming he clears waivers.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old Lewis is the second- longest tenured player in the NFL behind quarterback Aaron Rodgers, having entered the league as a first-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars back in 2006.<\/p>\n

Lewis spent the first 12 seasons of his career with the Jaguars, making a Pro Bowl in 2010 when he hauled in 58 receptions for 700 yards and 10 touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, Lewis never really lived up to his lofty expectations after coming out of UCLA. However, the long-time veteran has certainly managed to stick around as a terrific locker-room presence.<\/p>\n

He spent five seasons with the Packers between 2018 and 2022 before making his way to the Chicago Bears for two years. Lewis then joined the Broncos this past October.<\/p>\n

The Long Beach, Ca. native has amassed a grand total of 11 catches since 2022 and hasn’t posted 500 receiving yards in a single campaign since 2012. What’s more, Lewis has only eclipsed 300 yards twice since then.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Lewis has remained in the league and has become somewhat of a cult legend throughout his NFL tenure, and on a young Denver squad, he definitely has value.<\/p>\n

The Broncos are 11-2 and have won 10 games in a row. Meanwhile, the Packers are sitting at 9-3-1 and are riding a four-game winning streak. This is absolutely a major test for Denver. We’ll see how the Broncos handle it.<\/p>\n
