The Broncos intend to place a second-round, restricted free agent tender on McMillian, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: Per Klis, the nickel cornerback's looming contract tender is slated to carry a $5.77 million value. The 25-year-old ball hawk is coming off a regular season which he recorded 56 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, nine defensed passes, including two picks (one pick-six) and two forced fumbles. McMillian earned $1.03 million with the Broncos in 2025.

Records two interceptions in 2025
McMillian made 56 tackles (40 solo) including 4.0 sacks, defended nine passes with two interceptions while returning one for a touchdown, playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2025. He added two forced fumbles during the season.
Analysis: McMillian continued to play a key role in Denver's defensive backfield in 2025, recording two interceptions for the second straight year, a team high this season. The 25-year-old slot cornerback was the only Broncos defender to record an interception return for a touchdown this year. McMillian is set to become a restricted free agent this offseason, so the Broncos will have the ability to match any offers he receives ahead of the 2026 season to keep him in Denver.

Huge performance in Week 11 win
McMillian logged six tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, and intercepted a pass in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: McMillian was a menace to Kansas City throughout the contest and made a tangible impact in Denver's win. He ended the first half with a sack of Patrick Mahomes, then picked off Mahomes early in the third quarter after the Chiefs had driven deep into Broncos territory. McMillian returned the pickoff 63 yards, setting up a Denver touchdown. For good measure, he sacked Mahomes again on a third-down play late in the fourth period, forcing a punt as the Chiefs were trying to mount a comeback. With…read more

No restrictions during walkthrough
McMillian (ankle) was a full participant during Tuesday's walkthrough.
Analysis: McMillan was estimated as a limited participant on Monday's injury report, but the 24-year-old corner will likely avoid an injury tag heading into Thursday night's game against New Orleans. He logged two solo tackles during the Broncos' Week 6 loss to the Chargers.

Estimated as limited
McMillian (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Analysis: McMillian played 76 total snaps (73 defensive and three on special teams) and recorded two total tackles in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, but it now appears he picked up an ankle injury in the process.

Notches two interceptions in 2023
Locke made 51 tackles (37 solo) including two sacks, defended five passes with two interceptions, and added two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries while playing 16 games in 2023.

The 23-year-old cornerback is under contract for the 2024 season, while his teammate and fellow right cornerback Fabian Moreau is set to become a free agent this offseason. McMillian should be an important member of the Broncos' secondary in 2024.

McMillian recorded two tackles (one solo), a fumble recovery and an interception in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: McMillian continues to prove he's a playmaker for the Broncos' improving defense, as his interception and fumble recovery in the contest were his second of the season in each category.
