The Broncos filled out their practice squad on Tuesday, announcing 17 signings as they continued sorting out the roster after the initial wave of moves.
Among the players added was fullback Adam Prentice, who brings the most notable backstory of the group. Prentice, 29, first came to Denver as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina. He initially signed a three-year, $2.4 million deal with the Broncos before being cut.
From there, the path got bumpy. The Saints claimed Prentice off waivers and later waived him themselves. He spent several years moving on and off New Orleans’ active roster, and in 2024 he was slated to become a restricted free agent before the Saints brought him back on a one-year deal.
Denver then re-signed him to a one-year contract last offseason. He was released at the end of the preseason, only to eventually land back on the Broncos’ active roster.
In 2025, Prentice played in all 17 games for Denver and made three starts. He finished with 10 carries for 44 yards and caught eight of his six targets for 53 yards. He also added 11 special teams tackles.
The full list of Broncos practice squad additions includes LB David Agoha, DB Brent Austin, WR Michael Bandy, LS Luke Basso, LB Mitchell Fraboni, DB Sean Fresch Sr., WR Kolbe Katsis, WR Dane Key, TE Lucas Krull, T Tyler Miller, LB Red Murdock, G Gavin Ortega, RB Cody Schrader, S Miles Scott, G Calvin Throckmorton and DB Johnny Walker Jr.

Broncos Just Put More Pressure On One Young Pass Rusher
The Broncos chose to keep seven defensive linemen on their 53-man roster, and that decision says plenty about how they view Saivion Jones. The 2025 third-round pick has not moved as quickly as some might have expected, but Denver still carried him through roster cuts, betting on the long-term upside that made him worth the investment in the first place.
Jones now joins a group that includes Eyioma Uwazurike, Tyler Onyedim and Jordan Jackson as the Broncos work to reshape the interior of the line after losing veteran John Franklin-Myers. He is likely to sit low on the depth chart for now, but the fact that he made the team gives Denver another chance to keep developing a young pass rusher it clearly does not want to give up on yet.

Broncos Kept A Fan Favorite Rookie In The Mix At Key Spot
After trimming to their initial 53-man roster, the Broncos made one more quiet move to keep a young defender in the fold by signing rookie inside linebacker Red Murdock to the practice squad. The seventh-round pick did enough during the offseason and preseason to stay on the teams radar, even if he did not crack the active roster on cutdown day.
Murdock now gets to keep developing within the same system rather than starting over somewhere else, and Denver gets a chance to keep evaluating a player who flashed enough to remain part of the conversation. With the roster settled and a few rookies already making their way onto the team, the practice squad spot gives the Broncos another look at a player they clearly were not ready to let go completely.

Broncos Just Made Their 2026 Intentions Impossible To Miss
The Broncos have spent this offseason acting like a team that believes its window is wide open. Rather than tearing things down or chasing a major overhaul, Denver kept most of its 2025 roster intact for 2026, preserving the core that stayed healthy and pushed the club close to the Super Bowl. The biggest additions were straightforward and purposeful, with wide receiver Jaylen Waddle arriving to strengthen the passing game and rookie running back Jonah Coleman joining the backfield mix.
What stands out is how little Denver has changed relative to the stakes it is clearly embracing. Management and the coaching staff have made no secret of their confidence in an experienced group that already proved it can contend, and the roster decisions reflect a team trying to turn promise into a championship run rather than reset the timeline. The Broncos look committed to chasing that next step with the same foundation that got them this far, which is about as strong a signal as a front office can send. [Read more 🡒]
