Mike Shanahan has given Eddie Royal the green light and he is officially a full time starter now. Starting at wide receiver alongside Brandon Marshall, Royal will enter the preseason atop the depth chart. Darrell Jackson has moved to 4th receiver at best, but he is in jeopardy of losing a roster spot.

Royal, who was assumed to be a slot receiver is now the #2. Stokely will retain his slot spot, and Colbert is the assumed fourth receiver. Jackson is battling Glenn Martinez, Sammie Parker, and Lorne Sam to keep a roster spot.
