Prentice played seven of the Broncos' 81 snaps on offense and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Prentice had logged one carry in each of Denver's previous three games, but the fullback didn't see any involvement on the ground Sunday while the Broncos were in hurry-up mode for much of the second half as the team clawed its way back from a 19-point fourth-quarter deficit. The 28-year-old has suited up for each of the Broncos' first seven games, playing double-digit snaps on offense in just two of those contests while carrying three times for 15 yards and adding a four-year reception on two targets.

ANALYSIS
Prentice was elevated for Week 1 and logged 15 of the Broncos' 76 offensive snaps, finishing with one catch on one target for four yards. He also played four snaps on special teams.

Sep 6, 2025
Officially elevated
Prentice was elevated from the practice squad to the Broncos' active roster Saturday, Aric DiiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Prentice was released and then added to the Broncos' practice squad at the end of August, but he was always tabbed to be the team's fullback. He'll likely draw part-time offensive snaps in Week 1 against the Titans.
Aug 30, 2025
Set to begin season as Broncos' FB
Prentice, who is currently on Denver's practice squad, is expected to start the regular season as the team's primary fullback, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Prentice didn't make Denver's 53-man roster out of training camp and was subsequently signed to the practice squad. However, Michael Burton is on IR and will miss the season due to a hamstring injury, so Prentice is slated to step in at fullback for at least the first few weeks. Tomasson notes that tight end Nate Adkins' could eventually be tabbed for the fullback role, but he's expected to miss at least the first two weeks of the campaign due to an ankle injury. It remains to be seen if Prentice will be signed to the active roster or if he'll be elevated from the practice squad each week while his services are needed, though the team could elevate him only three times before they'd be required to sign him in order for him to play.
Aug 28, 2025
Staying in Denver
The Broncos signed Prentice to the practice squad Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Prentice will stick around in Denver on the practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster Tuesday. With fellow fullback Michael Burton (hamstring) set to miss the entire season after being placed on IR, Prentice could see some time on the active roster this season as a backfield blocker.
Aug 26, 2025
Unable to make initial roster
Denver released Prentice on Tuesday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Prentice spent his first four NFL campaigns with New Orleans, playing in 48 regular-season games and serving primarily as a blocker. He was signed by the Broncos on Aug. 17 but wasn't able to make the team's initial 53-man roster. According to Tomasson, it's unclear if Denver intends to sign Prentice to the practice squad if he clears waivers.
Aug 17, 2025
Signs with Broncos
The Broncos signed Prentice on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Prentice spent the first four years of his career with Saints but is now headed to Denver, where he will reunite with head coach Sean Payton. Prentice will fill in as the team's fullback while Michael Burton remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Dec 11, 2024
No yardage through 13 games
Prentice went without a carry or target while playing 26 of the Saints' 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
The fullback has suited up for each of the Saints' 13 games to date and has played double-digit snaps in all but one of those contests, but he's operated almost exclusively as a blocker during his time on the field. He has yet to account for any rushing or receiving yardage on the season, though he drew one target apiece in Weeks 2, 8 and 9.
Mar 13, 2024
Staying with Saints
Prentice is re-signing with the Saints on a one-year contract, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS

Set to play Week 10
Prentice (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Taken off IR

ANALYSIS
Prentice was placed on the Saints' IR on Oct. 14 after sustaining a knee injury in Week 5 against the Patriots. He contributed evenly on both offense and special teams before the injury and figures to return to that role.
Nov 8, 2023
Close to returning from IR
New Orleans designated Prentice (knee) for return from its injured reserve list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Prentice was a full participant at practice Wednesday, a good sign he's on pace to play in Week 10. When he's healthy, he'll likely return to playing around 10 offensive snaps per game.

Out for Week 6

Oct 8, 2023
Exits with knee injury
Prentice is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots due to a knee injury, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Prentice appeared to hurt his knee in the second half of the game. He initially went into the medical tent before heading to the locker room. The Saints are blowing out New England late, so it's unlikely that Prentice will return to the Week 5 contest.

Signed to active roster
Prentice was signed to the Saints' active roster ahead of their Thursday night matchup with the Cowboys, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The fullback was active for the team's Week 12 matchup with the Bills and will once again be available in Week 13. With Mark Ingram returning to the backfield this week, it's unlikely Prentice will have any offensive opportunities.
Nov 26, 2021
Heads back to practice squad
Prentice reverted to the Saints' practice squad Friday.
ANALYSIS
Prentice was promoted ahead of the Saints' loss to the Bills and made his NFL debut in the affair. The 24-year-old played 15 of 57 offensive snaps with 16 more coming on special teams. He caught his only target for a 10-yard gain. If Alvin Kamara and Melvin Ingram both need to miss more time with their knee issues, the South Carolina product could once again get the call Week 13 against the Cowboys.

Joins active roster

ANALYSIS

Sep 14, 2021

Aug 30, 2021
Shifts to waivers
The Broncos waived Prentice on Monday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
