KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Denver Broncos activated tight end Greg Dulcich from injured reserve and promoted wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey and defensive tackle Tyler Lancaster to the active roster for Thursday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Dulcich, a third-round pick out of UCLA a year ago, was designated to return earlier this week. He has not played since Week 1, when he had two catches for 22 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders before hurting his hamstring.

"He's been working his tail off, and I know they're going through a bunch of stuff now - explosive drills - and making sure there's not a setback," Broncos coach Sean Payton said this week. "He's close."

The Broncos cleared a roster spot for Dulcich, who has 35 catches for 433 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games, by releasing Humphrey on Wednesday. He has played 97 snaps this season with four catches for 26 yards.

Lancaster, who has appeared in 59 games with Green Bay, has been on the Broncos' practice squad this season.
