Browns sign ex-Broncos wide receiver to practice squad

Ex-Broncos wide receiver Kaden Davis joined the Browns’ practice squad this week.

Kaden Davis has had quite a bumpy season.

The 26-year-old wide receiver signed with the Denver Broncos‘ practice squad on Sept. 11. He was then released on Oct. 1, re-signed on Oct. 8 and released again on Oct. 14.

He has now found a new home with the Cleveland Browns, joining their practice squad earlier this week. Davis (6-1, 190 pounds) entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Northwest Missouri State with the Broncos in 2022. He has since spent time with the Michigan Panthers (USFL), Carolina Panthers and Detroit Lions.

After another stint in Denver this fall, Davis will now get a fresh start in Cleveland, his fourth NFL team.

Elsewhere on the ex-Bronco front, defensive lineman DeShawn Williams re-signed with the Carolina Panthers’ practice squad after being cut from the active roster earlier in the week.

Meanwhile, offensive lineman Austin Schlottmann has been designated to return from injured reserve with the New York Giants, quarterback Ben DiNucci joined the New Orleans Saints’ practice squad and running back Royce Freeman landed on the practice squad of the Chicago Bears.

As for the Broncos, their active roster and practice squad are full going into Week 15.

49ers sign center who was recently cut by Broncos

After being cut by the Broncos over the weekend, center Dieter Eiselen joined the 49ers’ practice squad.

Dieter Eiselen has quickly landed on his feet after being let go by the Denver Broncos.

Eiselen (6-4, 315 pounds) was cut from Denver’s practice squad on Saturday. Four days later, he has joined the San Francisco 49ers’ practice squad, according to a report from KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

The Broncos signed Eiselen on Oct. 8 after losing starting center Luke Wattenberg to an ankle injury. Before his brief stint in Denver, Eiselen spent three seasons with the Chicago Bears and one year with the Houston Texans. He’ll now get a fresh start with the Niners.

The Broncos, meanwhile, have just one true center —
Alex Forsyth — on the active roster. Superstar guard Quinn Meinerz is also capable of playing at center and Denver has Calvin Throckmorton and Nick Gargiulo available on the practice squad.

Elsewhere on the NFL’s transaction wire on Wednesday, ex-Broncos wide receiver Kaden Davis worked out for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ex-Denver defensive back Lamar Jackson worked out for the Seattle Seahawks and ex-Broncos linebacker Justin Hollins worked out for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
