The Denver Broncos have signed defensive lineman Billy Winn, The Denver Post‘s Ryan O’Halloran first reported Monday. The news has since been confirmed by multiple media outlets.
Winn (6-4, 300 pounds) entered the league as a sixth-round pick out of Boise State with the Cleveland Browns in 2012. He spent the first four years of his career in Cleveland before joining the Indianapolis Colts.
After a one-year stint in Indianapolis, Winn joined the Broncos in 2016. He dressed for all 16 games that year, earning two starts. Serving as a rotational lineman, Winn totaled 19 tackles.
Winn was poised to receive a larger role in 2017 before he suffered a season-ending ACL injury in preseason. Denver placed him on injured reserve and did not re-sign him during the 2018 offseason.
After sitting out all of last season, Winn is now healthy again and returning to the team to compete for a rotational role on the defensive line. The 30-year-old defender has recorded 111 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions in his career.
