From the article

The Broncos selected Joly in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and he showed off his speed on an 88-yard touchdown reception during the team's final preseason game. However, Denver evidently didn't see enough from the rookie to justify keeping him, as the team waived him as part of its final roster cuts while keeping seventh-round rookie Dallen Bentley.

Joly waived by Broncos despite 88-yard TD in preseason as fifth-round pick.

The fifth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft showed off his speed with an 88-yard touchdown reception during Denver's final preseason game but was waived as part of the Broncos' final roster cuts while the team kept seventh-round rookie Dallen Bentley; tight ends were a hot commodity during the 2026 draft, so Joly could draw attention on waivers or potentially return to develop on the practice squad.
