Packers workout former Broncos draft pick Lorenzo Doss

The Packers worked out former Broncos CB Lorenzo Doss and five others on Thursday.

A former draft pick of the Denver Broncos was among six players who worked out for the Green Bay Packers on Thursday.

According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, the Packers had cornerback Lorenzo Doss, a fifth-round pick of the Broncos in 2015, in town for a tryout on Thursday.

Doss was joined by cornerbacks Dee Delaney, Rojesterman Farris and Ashton Lampkin, safety Innis Gaines and tight end Matthew Wilkerson.

Doss (5-11, 187) was a member of the Broncos team that won Super Bowl 50, although he was inactive for the game.

Doss played 15 games over three seasons in Denver (2015-17), tallying five tackles and two pass breakups. He played in one game with the Carolina Panthers in 2018 but wasn’t on a 53-man roster in 2019.

The New York Guardians took Doss in the XFL draft.

The Packers did not announce an immediate roster move on Thursday. It’s likely the team was simply updating its available player board, as most teams do during the week.

Rahim Moore among 6 ex-Broncos cut by XFL teams

Rahim Moore was among six former Broncos players who were cut by XFL teams earlier this week.

Rahim Moore was among six former Denver Broncos players who were cut when XFL teams trimmed their rosters from 71 players down to 52 players earlier this week. The safety failed to make Washington, D.C.’s final roster.

In addition to Moore, defensive lineman Sealver Siliga (Dallas), offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio (Seattle), tight end Orson Charles (Dallas), wide receiver Steven Dunbar (Dallas) and cornerback Lorenzo Doss (New York) were also cut by their XFL teams.

Former Denver wide receiver Jordan Leslie, linebacker Josh Banderas, wide receiver John Diarse and wide receiver Durron Neal were part of the XFL draft pool but went unselected in October.

Ex-Broncos cornerback Brendan Langley was drafted by the XFL’s Houston-based team but he left the league to sign with the Seahawks’ practice squad during the NFL playoffs. After Seattle’s season ended, Langley’s contract expired and he was not re-signed.

Wide receiver/returner Kelvin McKnight was selected by Dallas in the XFL draft but left the league in December to sign a reserve/future contract with the Broncos. He spent part of last season on Denver’s practice squad.

Punter Shane Tripucka, the grandson of Broncos Ring of Fame quarterback Frank Tripucka, was part of the XFL draft pool but went unselected. He worked out for the Broncos in December but was not among the players Denver signed to reserve/future contracts.

Wide receiver Max McCaffrey, the son of former Broncos wide receiver Ed McCaffrey, was selected by D.C. in the XFL draft but he left the team earlier this month to join his father’s coaching staff at Northern Colorado. The younger McCaffrey will coach UNC’s wide receivers this fall.

The XFL will kick off on Saturday, Feb. 8 when D.C. hosts Seattle at 12 p.m. MT on ABC. That game will be followed by L.A. at Houston on Fox.
