Broncos place Noah Fant on reserve/COVID-19 list, cut CB from practice squad

Noah Fant will not count against the Broncos’ 53-man roster while on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

In addition to completing a trade, the Denver Broncos also placed tight end Noah Fant on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday, according to the NFL’s transaction wire.

This gives Fant an uncertain status for Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. If Fant is not cleared from the COVID protocol in time for Week 9, Albert Okwuegbunam will be in line to serve as the team’s top tight end.

Denver also has Eric Saubert and Andrew Beck available at tight end. Fant will not count against the 53-man roster while on COVID reserve.

The Broncos also released cornerback Rojesterman Farris from the practice squad on Tuesday. With Michael Ojemudia and Essang Bassey expected to return from their respective injuries soon, Denver is about to have more depth at cornerback, presumably making Farris expendable.

The Broncos also protected offensive Austin Schlottmann and linebacker Barrington Wade on the practice squad. Schlottmann and Wade will not be eligible to leave the team this week even if offered a spot on another team’s active roster.

Unprotected practice squad players are permitted to leave if offered a spot on another team’s 53-man roster.

Broncos sign WR Josh Malone to practice squad, cut 2 players

The Broncos added more depth at receiver by signing Josh Malone to the practice squad.

The Denver Broncos have signed wide receiver Josh Malone to their 16-player practice squad, according to the NFL’s transaction wire.

Malone (6-3, 205 pounds) is a 25-year-old receiver who entered the league as a fourth-round pick out of Tennessee with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2016. After spending the first two years of his career in Cincy, Malone played for the New York Jets from 2019-2020.

Malone has totaled 11 catches for 91 yards and one touchdown in 26 career games. He played in four games with the Jets last season.

The Broncos needed to add more depth at receiver after losing Diontae Spencer (chest), Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (knee) to injuries.

In addition to signing Malone, Denver also cut cornerback Rojesterman Farris and offensive lineman Harry Crider from the practice squad. The Broncos still have one open spot remaining on the practice squad.

Denver is preparing to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road this week.

Denver made six roster moves on Tuesday. Here’s a quick recap of the team’s transactions.

Packers waive QB Jake Dolegala, sign CB Rojesterman Farris

The Packers waived QB Jake Dolegala, which strongly suggests Jordan Love will play against the Bills in the preseason finale on Saturday.

Expect Jordan Love to play on Saturday against the Buffalo Bills.

The Green Bay Packers released backup quarterback Jake Dolegala on Friday, which strongly suggests Love will be healthy enough to play in the preseason finale in Buffalo.

Aaron Rodgers won’t play, but releasing Dolegala leaves the Packers with only Love and third-stringer quarterback Kurt Benkert behind him. Coach Matt LaFleur said Love, if he played Saturday, would see action into the second half, with Benkert playing after.

Dolegala played one series last Saturday against the New York Jets, throwing an interception on one pass attempt.

The Packers also signed cornerback Rojesterman Farris (5-11, 179), an undrafted free agent out of Hawaii in 2020 who has spent time with the Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears.

General manager Brian Gutekunst added two cornerbacks this week, signing Farris and Stephen Denmark.
