The Denver Broncos brought in two players for tryouts — including long snapper Tucker Addington — and made five roster moves on Tuesday.
Here’s a quick recap of the team’s transactions going into Wednesday’s first practice of the week leading up to the Las Vegas Raiders game.
1
Placed OT Billy Turner on injured reserve
After suffering a knee injury against the Tennessee Titans, Turner was placed on IR on Tuesday. He now has to sit out at least four games before being eligible to return to the active roster.
2
Activated OT Tom Compton from reserve/PUP list
After losing Turner, Denver activated Compton from the reserve/physically unable to perform list to the 53-man roster. After sitting out the first nine games of the season with a back injury, Compton will now be a candidate to fill in for Turner at right tackle.
3
Promoted DL Jonathan Harris from practice squad
Harris was promoted from the 16-player practice squad to the 53-man roster on Tuesday. He will likely be active on game days in the place of rookie Eyioma Uwazurike, who has struggled to break into the team’s defensive line rotation this season.
4
Waived WR Tyrie Cleveland
To make room for Harris on the active roster, Denver waived Cleveland. If he clears waivers, Cleveland will likely be a candidate to re-sign on the practice squad.
5
Signed WR Victor Bolden to practice squad
To fill the spot formerly held by Harris on the practice squad, the Broncos added Bolden. He tried out for Denver on Tuesday and then signed. The receiver/returner won the USFL championship with the Birmingham Stallions last spring and has spent time with four NFL teams, most recently with the Arizona Cardinals this summer.
