Broncos Add Veteran Safety Taylor Rapp to Practice Squad

The signing gives Denver experienced depth behind its starting safeties while the team manages roster timing and veteran practice‑squad limits.

Overview

  • Multiple national reporters confirmed that Taylor Rapp rejoined the Denver Broncos' practice squad on Monday, Sept. 7, 2026.
  • Rapp had been on Denver's roster in August, stepped away for a personal matter on Aug. 26, and returned to work out for the team before this practice‑squad signing.
  • A 2019 second‑round pick with a Super Bowl ring and 72 career starts, Rapp missed most of 2025 after season‑ending knee surgery and was released by Buffalo before joining Denver in August.
  • The move is a low‑risk roster maneuver because practice‑squad veteran slots and 53‑man timing control when and how he can be elevated to the active roster.
  • Rapp will compete for the Broncos' third‑safety backup role behind Talanoa Hufanga and Brandon Jones and provide special‑teams depth, with elevations dependent on openings or roster moves.
