Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad with new linebacker

After adding K.J. Cloyd, here’s a look at the Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad.

After losing linebacker Kwon Alexander to the Detroit Lions, the Denver Broncos filled his former spot on the practice squad by signing K.J. Cloyd on Tuesday.

Broncos release wide receiver from practice squad, re-sign defensive back

The 26-year-old receiver originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Northwest Missouri State with the Broncos in 2022. He later spent time with the USFL’s Michigan Panthers, the Arizona Cardinals and the Detroit Lions before returning to Denver.

After parting ways with Davis, the Broncos still have three wide receivers on their practice squad: David Sills, Michael Bandy and A.T. Perry, who just signed with the team last week.

To fill the spot formerly held by Davis on the practice squad, Denver re-signed rookie defensive back Quinton Newsome, who was cut last week when the team made a flurry of roster moves.
