Broncos work out pass rusher, release player from IR with settlement

The Broncos worked out Andrew Farmer on Friday and released Durell Nchami from IR with an injury settlement.

The Denver Broncos had dealings with a pair of pass rushers on Friday.

Denver brought in free agent Andrew Farmer for a workout, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. Farmer (6-4, 250 pounds) met with the Broncos at the Hula Bowl last year but went undrafted out of Lane College in 2023.

Farmer landed with the Los Angeles Chargers last year, initially on their practice squad, and later dressed for eight games. He recorded three tackles in those appearances, playing 60 snaps on defense and 48 snaps on special teams.

In addition to working out Farmer, Denver also reached an injury settlement with pass rusher Durell Nchami, according to KPRC-TV’s Aaron Wilson. Nchami (6-4, 258 pounds) was waived with an injury designation during roster cuts last week. After clearing waivers, he reverted to IR.

Had he remained on IR, Nchami would have been ineligible to play this season. After reaching an injury settlement with the Broncos, Nchami was released and he is now a free agent. Once healthy, it’s possible that Nchami could return to the team later this season.
