News
- Joly (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Joly will sit behind Greg Dulcich, Will Kacmarek and Seydou Traore. The No. 4 option at tight end will likely find himself the odd man out frequently throughout the season as he acclimates to the NFL in his first year.
RotoWire via ESPN - The Dolphins claimed Joly off waivers from the Broncos on Monday.
Joly was a fifth-round selection of the Broncos in the 2026 NFL Draft, but he did not crack Denver's 53-man roster for the upcoming regular season. He'll get a fresh start in Miami, and if Will Kacmarek (undisclosed) misses time, then Joly would slot in as the team's TE3 behind Greg Dulcich and Seydou Traore.
RotoWire via ESPN - Joly was cut by the Broncos on Sunday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.coms reports.
Joly was the No. 152 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The 22-year-old began his collegiate career at Connecticut before spending his final two seasons at NC State, where he most recently amassed 49 catches for 489 yards and seven touchdowns. Joly could draw interest from more than a few NFL teams, though it may come as a member of a practice squad.
RotoWire via ESPN - Joly secured both targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 34-6 preseason win over the Vikings on Friday.
The rookie fifth-round pick flashed his speed on an 88-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter, a play on which Joly motored the final 50 yards to the end zone after getting wide open in the middle of the field. Joly finished preseason with a 5-105-1 line over three games, and his big-play upside could help him progressively carve out more opportunity behind Evan Engram and Adam Trautman as the regular season unfolds.
RotoWire via ESPN - Joly caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Packers.
Joly played just eight offensive snaps, meaning he was targeted 25 percent of the time he was on the field. The rookie fifth-rounder continues to make his case for one of the three primary tight end slots on the Broncos' 53-man roster. The low amount of snaps further implies Joly has played his way into a valuable position.
