Overview
- The Broncos brought Taylor Rapp back for a tryout on Friday, Sept. 4, but he has not been signed to a new contract.
- Denver originally signed Rapp in late August and released him less than a week later so he could return home to address a personal issue, a move coach Sean Payton described as temporary.
- Rapp is coming off a 2025 season-ending knee surgery and a March release by the Buffalo Bills, so any return would depend on medical clearance and a short ramp-up.
- If signed, Rapp would likely fill a veteran third-safety role or a practice-squad spot and provide special-teams help rather than immediately displacing Denver’s starters.
- The Broncos’ use of tryouts and low-guarantee short deals is a common roster tactic as teams shape depth before final cutdowns and practice-squad formations.
