At age 41, Marcedes Lewis set to become oldest tight end to play in NFL game
November 2, 2025
Marcedes Lewis was active for the Denver Broncos on Sunday against the Houston Texans, giving him a chance to make history. If he plays against Houston, the 41-year-old will become the oldest tight end to ever play in an NFL game. He’ll also become the oldest player to appear in a game in franchise history. Lewis is the second-oldest active player in the NFL behind Aaron Rodgers, who will turn 42 in December. Lewis was signed to the practice squad on Wednesday and promoted to the active roster Saturday.
