Michael Bandy Injury News & Updates
Nov 13, 2025
Returns to practice squad
The Broncos signed Bandy to the practice squad Thursday, Mike Klis of 9news.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After being waived by the Broncos on Tuesday to make room for veteran OT Geron Christian, Bandy cleared waivers and has reunited with the team. Bandy's return may be followed by an elevation to the 53-man roster for Sunday's game against the Chiefs if wide receivers Marvin Mims (concussion) or Trent Sherfield (toe) are unable to suit up.
Nov 11, 2025
Cut by Denver
The Broncos waived Bandy on Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy was cut in order to make room for the signing of veteran OT Geron Christian, who was signed off Dallas' practice squad. If Bandy clears waivers, it would make sense for him to rejoin Denver via the practice squad.
Nov 6, 2025
Signed from practice squad
The Broncos signed Bandy to the active roster from the practice squad Thursday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy was elevated for his 2025 debut during the Broncos' win over Houston in Week 9, a contest in which he secured his only target for 16 yards also playing a minor role on special teams. Now that he's been signed to the 53-man roster, Bandy will be eligible to suit up for the remainder of Denver's contests this season, beginning Thursday night versus the Raiders.
Nov 3, 2025
Back to practice squad
Bandy reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Bandy made his 2025 regular-season debut during the Broncos' 18-15 win over the Texans on Sunday. He played a total of 14 snaps (six on offense, eight on special teams) while hauling in a 16-yard pass on his only target of the game. He also returned four punts for 30 yards, though he fumbled one of those punts late in the second quarter that was scooped up by the Texans and led to a Ka'imi Fairbairn 40-yard field goal four plays later. Bandy could be elevated to the Broncos' active roster for Thursday's game against the Raiders if Marvin Mims (concussion) is not cleared to play.
Nov 1, 2025
Elevated for Week 9
Bandy was elevated from the Broncos' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
ANALYSIS
With Marvin Mims (concussion) being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Bandy has been elevated to the active roster for his first regular-season game as a Bronco. The wide receiver finished the preseason with six catches for 59 yards while logging 13 yards on two punt returns. Bandy will likely operate in a reserve capacity as the second punt returner behind Riley Moss. He will also be the fifth wide receiver behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, and Trent Sherfield.
Aug 28, 2025
Signed to Denver's practice squad
The Broncos signed Bandy to the practice squad Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy spent the entire 2024 season on the Broncos' practice squad, and he will reprise that role in 2025 after failing to make Denver's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He finished the preseason with six catches (on as many targets) for 59 yards while logging 13 yards on two punt returns across three games.
Aug 26, 2025
Waived by Broncos
Bandy was waived by Denver on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy was unable to earn a depth role in a crowded wide receiving corps ahead of the 2025 season. The 27-year-old wideout spent the entire 2024 season on the Broncos' practice squad, and he'll now look to secure a role on another team's roster. If Bandy is unable to latch on with another team, it's possible he could eventually sign with Denver's practice squad once again.
Jan 15, 2025
Re-signs with Denver
The Broncos signed Bandy to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The wide receiver from San Diego spent his 2024 campaign with the Broncos' practice squad and will now remain in Denver after inking a reserve/future contract with the team Wednesday. Bandy's most recent NFL action came with the Broncos in 2023, failing to record a stat across 10 total snaps (two offensive and eight on special teams) in one appearance. He's expected to compete for a depth role in Denver's wide receiver corps this summer.
Aug 29, 2024
Picked back up
Bandy signed with the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy linked up with Denver last season, after playing a depth role with the Chargers in 2022. However, the San Diego product only suited up once in 2023, spending most of his time on the Broncos' practice squad. He appears headed for a similar role in 2024.
Aug 27, 2024
Let go by Denver
Bandy was waived by the Broncos on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy spent the 2023 season on Denver's practice squad, ultimately appearing in one contest with the team. If he clears waivers, he'll likely return to the practice squad with the Broncos ahead of the 2024 season.
Dec 30, 2023
Gets spot on active roster
The Broncos signed Bandy from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Bandy has been cut from and re-signed to Denver's practice squad four times this season, and he'll now get his first chance to be active on game day with his promotion to the active roster. The Broncos' pass-catching corps could be perilously depleted Sunday against the Chargers with Courtland Sutton (concussion) ruled out and Jerry Jeudy (illness) and Marvin Mims (hamstring) both deemed questionable, so Bandy could see more than a minor role in the contest. The other Denver wideouts who don't have an injury designation for Sunday are Brandon Johnson, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Phillip Dorsett.
Oct 25, 2023
Remains with Denver
Bandy was signed to the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of Denver's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy's return to Denver's practice unit comes as no surprise as he's been cut by the team and re-signed twice already this season. The wide receiver continues to wait for his first opportunity to join the active roster in 2023.
Oct 22, 2023
Cut from Denver practice squad
Denver waived Bandy from its practice squad Saturday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy has now been let go from Denver's practice squad three times this season. The wideout has yet to suit up for a game in 2023 after appearing in 10 games for the Chargers in 2022.
Oct 18, 2023
Returns to Denver
Bandy re-signed with Denver's practice squad Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
The Broncos released Bandy from their practice squad for the third time this season earlier in October, but the 25-year-old will now rejoin the team once again. Bandy has yet to appear in a game during the 2023 campaign but that could change in the near future as Denver only has five healthy receivers on their roster.
Oct 10, 2023
Loses spot again
Bandy was cut from the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy was previously cut from and re-signed to the team's practice squad a week ago. It's not clear if the same thing will happen again once Denver makes other roster moves.
Oct 4, 2023
Rejoins team
Bandy signed with the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy was cut from the practice squad Tuesday to make room for Tre'Quan Smith, with the expectation he'd be returning soon. Upon making other moves, the Broncos have created a spot for Bandy to return and bring him back on board.
Oct 3, 2023
To be cut and signed again
Denver plans to cut Bandy from its practice squad Tuesday and re-sign him to the practice squad Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
The moves would be made to create space for Tre'Quan Smith, who the Broncos signed to their practice squad Tuesday. Bandy will end up in the same spot he's in now by the end of the day tomorrow, in all likelihood.
Sep 13, 2023
Returns to Denver
Bandy signed with the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy was cut from the team's practice squad Sept. 1, but with the addition of Lil'Jordan Humphrey to the team's 53-man roster, a spot re-opened for the former. The San Diego product played in 10 games for the Chargers last season, recording 10 catches on 21 targets for 89 yards.
Sep 1, 2023
Let go by Denver
Bandy was cut from the Broncos' practice squad Friday, per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post.
ANALYSIS
Bandy was let go in order to make room for veteran linebacker Ben Niemann, who Denver signed to its practice squad Friday. The 25-year-old spent the last two seasons with the Chargers after going undrafted out of San Diego in 2021. He bounced back-and-forth between the team's active roster and practice squad over that time, appearing in 11 games and catching 10 passes for 89 yards.
Aug 30, 2023
Earns practice squad role
Bandy has been added to the Broncos' practice squad, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy spent his first two seasons with the Chargers before looking for a fresh start in Denver. While he was unable to make it through final roster cuts, the 25-year-old receiver was able to catch a role with the team's practice unit.
Aug 29, 2023
Waived ahead of deadline
The Broncos waived Bandy on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy joined the Broncos in late July after spending the last two seasons with the Chargers. However, he was unable to make enough of an impact in Denver to earn a 53-man roster spot. It's possible he lands on a practice squad ahead of the 2023 campaign.
Jul 28, 2023
Inks deal with Denver
Bandy signed with the Broncos on Friday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy started last season on the Chargers' practice squad but took advantage of injuries to the wideout corp, catching 10 of 21 targets for 89 yards in 10 games. He was also on 39 special teams snaps last season and has experience as a kick returner in 2021, which could give him an edge as he competes for a roster spot.
Mar 10, 2023
Headed for free agency
The Chargers announced Friday that they will not tender Bandy, making him an unrestricted free agent, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy took advantage of Los Angeles' depleted wideout corps in 2022 and made 10 appearances, catching 10 of 21 targets for 89 yards. The undrafted product of out San Diego has experience as a kick returner too and should be able to latch on with a new team ahead of training camp.
Jan 10, 2023
Quiet season
Bandy caught 10 of his 21 targets for 89 yards during the 2022-23 season.
ANALYSIS
Bandy began the season on the practice squad but was later signed to the active roster due to various Chargers receivers suffering injuries. The 2021 undrafted free agent had his best game Week 9 against the Falcons recording half of his total receptions on the season, as both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams were out with injuries. However, Bandy saw his role drastically decrease once both receivers returned to action.
Dec 26, 2022
Inactive for Monday Night Football
Bandy (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's matchup against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Bandy will be a healthy scratch for a second straight week. The undrafted wideout out of San Diego has caught 10 of 21 targets for 89 yards across 10 appearances (198 offensive snaps), but it appears he's fallen out of the Chargers' wideout rotation now that Mike Williams is healthy.
Dec 18, 2022
Unavailable Week 15
Bandy (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Bandy won't be available this weekend versus Tennessee due to a coach's decision, as his role as a wide receiver will be even more limited now that Mike Williams appears back to full health. His next chance to suit up will now come Week 16 in Indianapolis.
Nov 30, 2022
Barely used in win
Bandy went without a target while taking the field for two of the Chargers' 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Even though the Chargers were without Mike Williams (ankle), Bandy still couldn't carve out much of a role in Los Angeles' receiver rotation. The two snaps were Bandy's fewest in his eight appearances on the season.
Nov 22, 2022
Reverts to No. 5 receiver role
Bandy did not catch his only target Sunday in a Week 11 loss to Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Bandy played at least 58 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps in each of the team's games between Week 7 and Week 10, but he saw just eight snaps (12 percent) Sunday. That was largely due to the return of both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams (ankle), though Williams reaggravated his injury in the first half. Even if Williams is forced to miss Week 12, Bandy probably won't be a major contributor with Allen back on the field and Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter seemingly ahead on the receiver depth chart.
Nov 14, 2022
Kept in check
Bandy did not catch his lone target in the 22-16 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
With Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (foot) out once again Bandy wound up playing 49 offensive snaps (84 percent), but the short-yardage specialist was completely kept in check. It's clear the undrafted rookie hasn't earned the type of looks accustomed to the significant playing time.
Nov 8, 2022
Does little with many targets
Bandy caught five of his eight targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Given Bandy somehow tallied negative yards across eight targets combined the previous two weeks, Sunday's performance is admittedly an upgrade, but with Bandy slotted into what amounts to a "bubble specialist" role, it's hard to imagine the yards-per-target figure improving noticeably. The undrafted rookie did play 79 percent of the offensive snaps with both Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) out, so it's possible Bandy could have some value in deeper PPR leagues next week with the status of both stud wideouts still up in the air.
Oct 27, 2022
Loses yards on six targets
Bandy recorded minus-5 receiving yards on six targets while playing 40 of the Chargers' 69 snaps on offense in last Sunday's 37-23 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Incredibly, Bandy has negative yardage on eight targets over his last two contests, as he recorded a four-yard reception on two looks in the Chargers' previous game Week 6 versus the Broncos. The 58 percent snap share he saw Week 7 was a new season-high rate, but expect Bandy's opportunities to take a hit coming out of the Week 8 bye if Keenan Allen (hamstring) -- who was limited against the Seahawks -- and Joshua Palmer (concussion) are both available. Bandy may not fall out of the game plan entirely, however, as the Chargers are likely to be without Mike Williams (ankle) for at least a couple of games.
Oct 22, 2022
Signed to 53-man roster
The Chargers signed Bandy from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy had been elevated from the practice squad three times prior to this week, so Los Angeles was required to sign him to the active roster in order to summon him again. The second-year pro has logged 28 offensive snaps on the campaign, catching three of four targets for 53 yards. He'll serve as much-needed wide receiver depth with Keenan Allen (hamstring) deemed questionable and Joshua Palmer (concussion) ruled out for Sunday's contest against Seattle.
Oct 18, 2022
Moves back to practice squad
Bandy reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Bandy was elevated to the Chargers' active roster prior to the team's Monday night matchup against the Broncos, where he played two snaps on special teams, five offensive snaps, and hauled in one of two targets for four yards. Since Monday accounted for the third consecutive week that the 190-pounder had been promoted from the team's practice squad, he'll now have to sign to the Chargers' active roster in order to be eligible to play again in 2022.
Oct 17, 2022
Suiting up for Monday night
The Chargers elevated Bandy from the practice squad to their active roster Monday ahead of their game versus Denver, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It will be the third consecutive week Bandy is active for the Chargers and the last time he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad before he would have to be signed to the team's active roster in order to play. The 24-year-old wideout has two receptions for 49 yards on two targets through two games this season.
Oct 10, 2022
Returns to practice squad
Bandy reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Bandy received the promotion with Keenan Allen (hamstring) still out of action. The 24-year-old saw five snaps on offense, but he failed to tally any stats. Depending on Allen's status for Week 6, Bandy could find himself back with the active roster.
Oct 8, 2022
Promoted to active roster
Bandy has been elevated to the Chargers' active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Browns,
ANALYSIS
With Keenan Allen (hamstring) still sidelined, Bandy has again been called up to provide depth at wide receiver. He will be available for just one more game-day activation this season.
Oct 3, 2022
Comes back off active roster
Bandy reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Bandy caught both of his targets for 49 yards while playing 20 of the Bolts' 70 offensive snaps Sunday. The 24-year-old wideout was elevated from the team's practice squad for the first time with top receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) sidelined for the second straight game in Week 4. Bandy is now available for two more game-day activations from the Chargers' practice squad this season.
Oct 1, 2022
Joins active roster
Bandy was elevated to the Chargers' active roster Saturday.
ANALYSIS
A preseason standout for the Chargers, Bandy will make his first appearance on the 53-man roster with Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Jalen Guyton (knee) both out. The 5-foot-10 wideout likely won't see many snaps unless more injuries topple the top of the Chargers' wide receiving corps.
Sep 1, 2022
Headed to practice squad
The Chargers signed Bandy to the practice squad Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Bandy was part of the Chargers' final roster cuts Tuesday after re-signing with the team on a futures deal in January. The undrafted wideout managed to play 15 total snaps during his lone elevation from the team's practice squad in Week 16 last year.
Aug 30, 2022
Waived by Chargers
The Chargers waived Bandy on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy signed a futures deal with the Chargers in January after appearing in one regular season game last year. However, he finds himself among a wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. If he clears waivers, he'll likely return to Los Angeles' practice squad.
Jan 11, 2022
Inks new deal with Chargers
The Chargers signed Bandy to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Bandy was active for one game this season, failing to register a target while racking up 88 kick-return yards in Week 16 against the Texans. The wide receiver will remain with the Chargers in 2022, providing him opportunity to play a larger role in the team's offense.
Dec 28, 2021
Heads back to practice squad
Bandy reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Bandy played 10 offensive snaps and six special-team snaps during Sunday's loss to the Texans. He didn't receive a target, but he did return four kickoffs for 88 yards. If Mike Williams and Jalen Guyton are unable to clear protocols this week, Bandy may see a similar workload in Week 17.
Dec 25, 2021
Moves up to Los Angeles roster
Bandy was elevated to the Chargers' active roster Saturday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
An undrafted rookie free agent, Bandy had moments throughout the preseason but ultimately wasn't able to clinch a spot on the active roster. Pressed for depth with both Mike Williams and Jalen Guyon on the reserve/COVID-19 list, expect Bandy to primarily play on special teams with Keenan Allen and Josh Palmer seeing the majority of the wide receiver targets.
Aug 31, 2021
Let go in roster trimming
Bandy was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
The undrafted free agent never really had a shot at making the team, especially after the Chargers made the surprising choice to keep just five wideouts. It's likely Bandy will return to the team via the practice squad.
Aug 21, 2021
Re-signs with Chargers
Bandy landed back with the Chargers on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Bandy signed with the Chargers during OTAs after going undrafted. He was cut by the team earlier in the week, but they've opted to bring him back. The San Diego product saw eight offensive snaps in the team's preseason opener.
Aug 16, 2021
Let go by Chargers
The Chargers cut Bandy on Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bandy has yet to make his NFL debut since going undrafted back in 2019. Now that the Chargers have opted to move on, Bandy will need to look for an opportunity elsewhere in the league.
