The Broncos need another wide receiver with the Decker injury since the team only had three receivers active for the remainder of the Steelers' game last Sunday. While Demaryius Thomas, Eddie Royal and Matthew Willis are a solid group, one more injury and the team would be in peril heading into the Patriots game.
Larsen sprained his MCL in the season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs. To fill in the practice squad spot that Goodwin's signing created, the Broncos added receiver Tim Toone.
