Overview
- Denver added Schrader to the 53-man roster, giving the team four active running backs with R.J. Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie.
- Jones was placed on injured reserve with a pectoral injury and must miss at least four games under NFL rules.
- The New York Jets signed defensive back Keidron Smith off the Broncos’ practice squad, reducing Denver’s depth in the secondary.
- Schrader is an undrafted second-year back with two NFL appearances who spent time with the Rams, Jaguars and Texans this season.
- The addition helps bolster the backfield after Harvey sustained a rib injury against the Packers, though his longer-term status was not specified.
