Mile High Report
According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis, the Denver Broncos have signed cornerback Micah Abraham. To make room for him, the team has reportedly waived/injured cornerback Gregory Junior, whom the team signed last week.
Junior left yesterday’s practice with a hamstring injury, and now the team has waived him with an injury designation. Now, Abraham will join the Broncos and likely see playing time tomorrow night during their week two preseason matchup vs. the Cardinals. It has already been announced that they will be resting their starters, so we’ll be seeing the second and third teams in this one. So, Abraham will have a chance to impress his new team, likely during the later portions of the game.
Abraham was a sixth-round selection by the Colts last season but was among the players they waived during their final cuts. He did not sign to a practice squad until October, when he signed on to the Bengals practice squad. He stayed with the team and signed a reserve/future contract with them, but was eventually waived by them in April. He would go on to play for the St. Louis Battlehawks in the UFL this past spring, and now will be joining the Broncos in the middle of the preseason.
The reality is, he is likely just depth for the preseason and is highly unlikely to make the team and probably not even the practice squad. With that said, he will this preseason game, the practices next week, and the preseason finale vs. the Saints to turn some heads and find a way to stick with the Broncos moving forward.
