Broncos terminate contract of injured offensive lineman with settlement

The Broncos terminated offensive lineman Will Sherman’s contract with an injury settlement, making him a free agent.

After placing offensive lineman Will Sherman on the practice squad/injured list on Tuesday, the Denver Broncos terminated his contract on Wednesday after reaching an injury settlement with the player.

Sherman (6-4, 300 pounds) Sherman injured his ankle during a practice last week. After reaching a settlement with the team, he now becomes a free agent. Once healthy, Sherman might be a candidate to return to the Broncos.

Elsewhere on the roster front, Denver officially signed wide receiver A.T. Perry to their practice squad on Wednesday. The Broncos added four players to their practice squad this week, clearing out Sherman, running back Salvon Ahmed and defensive back Quinton Newsome to make room. Denver also promoted linebacker Levelle Bailey to the active roster.

On the injury front, the Broncos have also opened 21-day windows for running back Audric Estime (ankle) and cornerback Damarri Mathis (ankle) to return from injured reserve to the 53-man roster.

Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad after flurry of roster moves

Here’s a look at the Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad following a flurry of roster moves this week.

The Denver Broncos made a flurry of roster moves this week, including seven changes to the practice squad.

First, the Broncos promoted inside linebacker Levelle Bailey from the practice squad to the active roster. To fill Bailey’s former spot, Denver signed wide receiver A.T. Perry.

The Broncos also signed offensive tackle Cam Fleming, center Dieter Eiselen and wide receiver Kaden Davis to the practice squad. To make room for those three players, Denver released running back Salvon Ahmed and defensive back Quinton Newsome and placed offensive tackle Will Sherman on the practice squad/injured list.

The 17-player practice squad and 53-man roster are now both full.

The NFL’s standard practice squad size limit is 16 players, but there’s an exception that allows an extra international player to not count against the limit. For Denver, Australian tight end Thomas Yassmin is an exception, giving the Broncos a 17-player practice squad.

So here’s the full list of 17 players on the squad after the recent moves.

Key things to know about Chargers’ Week 6 opponent: Broncos

Here are some important things to know about the Broncos ahead of the Week 6 matchup with the Chargers.

The Chargers are on the road to face the Broncos on Sunday, Oct. 13, at 1:05 p.m. PT.

To get you prepped for the Week 6 bout, here are five key things to know about Los Angeles’ opponent ahead of the matchup.

Last 3 out

The Broncos are on a three-game winning streak, defeating the Buccaneers, Jets, and Raiders. Denver is currently 3-2 and second in the AFC West.

Checking in on the rookie

The Broncos selected former Oregon quarterback Bo Nix in the first round of this year’s draft in hopes of him being the long-term answer at the position. After a slow start, Nix has gotten more comfortable at the pro level. He’s coming off his best performance against Las Vegas. Nix completed 19 of 27 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns while running for a score.

Bottom of the barrel offense

Even though Nix showed some promise in Week 5, Denver’s offense is still a work in progress. The Broncos are 28th in the league in total offense (270.6 yards per game), tied for 22nd in scoring (19.2 points per game), 28th in passing (163.8 YPG), 21st in rushing offense (106.8 YPG).

Dominant defense

Vance Joseph is known for engineering top-tier defenses, and it’s no different this year for the Broncos. Denver ranks second in points allowed (14.6 per game), third in total yards (271.2 per game), fifth in passing yards (159.8 per game), tenth in rushing yards (111.4 per game), third in sacks (19) and seventh in interceptions (five).

Look out for…

Zach Allen. Allen should present a tough challenge for the Chargers’ interior offensive line with how he’s been playing. He has 29 quarterback pressures, tied for the second-most in the NFL, trailing only Lions’ Aidan Hutchinson. He also has the second-most run stops among all interior defenders (10).

Broncos’ updated 53-man roster after Tuesday’s moves

After adding Levelle Bailey to the active roster, the Broncos have updated their 53-man roster.

The Denver Broncos had a busy Tuesday.

In addition to signing three players to the practice squad, the Broncos also promoted linebacker Levelle Bailey from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. Denver had room for Bailey on the active roster after placing running back Tyler Badie (back) on injured reserve on Saturday.

The Broncos will make another move soon with wide receiver A.T. Perry set to sign with the practice squad, perhaps as early as today.

Following the team’s moves this week, here’s a look at the team’s updated roster going into Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Bo Nix responds to Sean Payton’s comments with perfect Ferris Bueller video

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” — Ferris Bueller/Bo Nix

In the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix was captured by Fox cameras having a heated exchange with coach Sean Payton on the sideline.

After the game, Payton explained that Nix had flipped a play that the coach did not want to be flipped, and they discussed it on the sideline after the play. Payton said Nix has “a little bit of Ferris Bueller” in him.

Payton, of course, was referencing “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” a 1986 comedy starring Matthew Broderick.

“Ferris is kind of quirky and doing his own thing once in a while,” Payton said. “Did you watch the movie? Have you ever seen it? He still has some Ferris Bueller in him. He’s got some. Not mischievous, maybe a little bit kind of subtly.”

Two days later, Nix had a perfect reaction to Payton’s comments. The 24-year-old quarterback shared a highlight video on his Instagram page featuring a clip of Ferris Bueller and a caption featuring an iconic line from the movie: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

Nix helped the Broncos beat the Raiders by a score of 34-18 with a 70.4% completion rate, 206 passing yards, two touchdown passes, one touchdown run and no turnovers. Perhaps having some Ferris Bueller in him isn’t a bad thing.

Broncos signing ex-Saints WR A.T. Perry to practice squad

The Broncos are signing former Saints wide receiver A.T. Perry to their practice squad.

But wait, there’s more!

The Denver Broncos made seven roster moves on Tuesday, and another move is on the way.

The Broncos are set to sign former New Orleans Saints wide receiver A.T. Perry to their practice squad, according to a report from NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill.

Denver coach Sean Payton has had a habit of collecting former Saints players and coaches, but Perry isn’t one of the players Payton drafted in New Orleans. The Saints selected Perry in the sixth round of last year’s NFL draft out of Wake Forest while Payton was coaching the Broncos.

Perry (6-5, 205 pounds) appeared in 10 games with New Orleans last fall, totaling 12 receptions for 246 yards and four touchdowns. He was a healthy scratch for the Saints’ first four games this season before being waived on Oct. 4.

The 24-year-old receiver could get a chance to play against his former team when Denver travels to New Orleans for a Thursday Night Football showdown with the Saints in Week 7.

The Broncos had room for Perry on the 17-player practice squad after promoting linebacker Levelle Bailey from the practice squad on Tuesday.

Recapping the 7 roster moves Broncos made on Tuesday

The Broncos made one change to the 53-man roster and six moves on the practice squad on Tuesday.

The Denver Broncos had a busy Tuesday, making seven moves.

First, the Broncos promoted inside linebacker Levelle Bailey from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. There was room for Bailey on the active roster after running back Tyler Badie (back) was placed on injured reserve last week.

After that, Denver added three players to the practice squad.

The Broncos signed offensive tackle Cam Fleming, center Dieter Eiselen and wide receiver Kaden Davis.

To make room for those three new players on the 17-player practice squad, Denver released running back Salvon Ahmed and defensive back Quinton Newsome and placed offensive tackle Will Sherman on the practice squad/injury list.

Broncos roster moves

1. LB Levelle Bailey promoted to 53-man roster
2. OT Cam Fleming signed to practice squad
3. C Dieter Eiselen signed to practice squad
4. WR Kaden Davis signed to practice squad
5. OL Will Sherman placed on practice squad/injured list
6. RB Salvon Ahmed cut from practice squad
7. CB Quinton Newsome cut from practice squad

More moves could be on the way later this week. Denver running back Audric Estime is eligible to return from IR this week and right tackle Alex Palczewski and center Luke Wattenberg are both dealing with ankle injuries. The Broncos might do some more roster shuffling ahead of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Broncos worked out 2 offensive linemen on Tuesday

The Broncos worked out center Dieter Eiselen and interior offensive lineman Keaton Sutherland on Tuesday. Eiselen joined the practice squad.

The Denver Broncos have been hit hard by injuries on the offensive line and the team brought in some reinforcements on Tuesday.

The Broncos worked out center Dieter Eiselen and interior offensive lineman Keaton Sutherland. Eiselen won the workout and he was signed to the team’s practice squad.

Sutherland (6-5, 316 pounds) is a fifth-year lineman who has spent time with six NFL teams, playing as a swing guard/center. The 27-year-old lineman has dressed for six games — including two starts — in his career. He most recently spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars last fall.

Denver sought more depth on the line after losing right tackle Alex Palczewski and center Luke Wattenberg to ankle injuries against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The Broncos also lost practice squad offensive tackle Will Sherman to an ankle injury last week.

Eiselen was signed to provide more depth at center and Cam Fleming also joined the practice squad to provide more depth at tackle.

Broncos place practice squad OT Will Sherman on injury list

The Broncos placed OT Will Sherman (ankle) on their practice squad injury list on Tuesday.

The offensive line injuries keep coming for the Denver Broncos.

The Broncos placed backup offensive tackle Will Sherman (ankle) on the team’s practice squad injury list on Tuesday, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. The injury happened during practice last week.

Sherman (6-4, 300 pounds) joined the Broncos in 2022 after previously competing on the practice squad of the New England Patriots in 2021. He spent last season on Denver’s practice squad and is yet to make his NFL debut.

The Broncos also lost fill-in starting right tackle Alex Palczewski and starting center Luke Wattenberg to ankle injuries this week. Denver signed tackle Cam Fleming and center Dieter Eiselen to the practice squad to add more depth while Palczewski and Wattenberg are sidelined.

Broncos right tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) will be eligible to return from injured reserve next week. In the meantime, Matt Peart (right tackle) and Alex Forsyth (center) are likely the next men up on the offensive line.

Broncos bringing back familiar face at wide receiver once again

The Broncos are bringing back wide receiver Kaden Davis.

The Denver Broncos are bringing back a familiar face … again.

Four weeks ago, the Broncos signed wide receiver Kaden Davis to their practice squad. He spent three weeks with the club before being released on Oct. 1. Denver is now signing Davis again, the receiver’s agent, Sean Stellato, informed KPRC-TV’s Aaron Wilson on Tuesday.

Davis (6-1, 190 pounds) originally entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Northwest Missouri State with the Broncos in 2022. He did not make the team’s 53-man roster that summer, but Davis spent most of his rookie season on Denver’s practice squad.

Davis then spent the 2023 spring season playing for the USFL’s Michigan Panthers before returning to the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals. He had a stint with the Detroit Lions this summer before returning to the Broncos.

The 26-year-old wide receiver is yet to appear in a regular season game in the NFL. Denver will need to make a corresponding move to make room for Davis on the 17-player practice squad.
