Mile High Report
Throughout the day today we have been tracking which players have and have not been signed to the Denver Broncos practice squad. We learned of the 16 through various reports, and now, the Denver Broncos have made it official.
This evening, the Broncos announced that they have officially signed 16 players to their practice squad.
Linebacker Levelle Bailey
The team surprisingly waived Baileym but the former undrafted free agent made it through waivers and signed back with the team. He had a strong summer where he received first-teams reps in place of the injured Alex Singleton and Dre Greenlaw, and played well. I anticipate that we will see him on the 53-man roster and on the field for the Broncos this upcoming season.
Wide Receiver Michael Bandy
Michael Bandy is inevitable.
Despite a strong group of undrafted rookie wide receivers, Michael Bandy once again showed enough to make the Broncos practice squad. He is a reliable veteran slot receiver who simply knows how to get open and gives them a trusted option on their practice squad. He helps them on the scout team, in the locker room, and is someone they can count on if needed in a pinch.
Quarterback Sam Ehlinger
As I wrote earlier, Ehlinger turned down two teams that wanted him on their 53-man roster to sign on to the Broncos practice squad. He reportedly loves the Broncos quarterback room and is a big believer of the team and wanted to be part of the ride. He will serve as the Broncos’ third-string quarterback and provide depth for them on the practice squad.
Tight End Caleb Lohner
The rookie tight end cleared waivers and will get some much-needed development on the Broncos’ practice squad. The former basketball player is very raw, and the Broncos would like to continue his development on the practice squad. Hopefully, he can make some strides this season and become an option sooner rather than later.
Offensive Linemen Joe Michalski
The undrafted rookie offensive linemen played primarily center this summer and showed enough to make the Broncos’ practice squad. He provides some depth behind Luke Wattenberg and Alex Forsyth and would be the likely next man up if an injury were to occur.
Nose Tackle Jordan Miller
For a second straight year, Jordan Miller has made the Broncos’ practice squad. The team kept seven defensive linemen on the 53-man roster, along with Miller on the practice squad. This is a very deep unit, and Miller gives them some extra depth to rely on in a pinch if needed.
