Overview
- Denver finalized a practice-squad deal with Marcedes Lewis after a Tuesday workout, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.
- Evan Engram and Adam Trautman are the only healthy tight ends with Lucas Krull on injured reserve for a foot injury and Nate Adkins sidelined by a knee issue.
- Before turning to Lewis, the Broncos placed unsuccessful waiver claims on Brenden Bates, awarded to the Browns, and Ben Sims, awarded to the Vikings.
- Lewis, a 20th-year veteran known for his blocking and durability, is the lone active player from the 2006 draft class.
- If elevated to the active roster, he would become the oldest tight end to play in the Super Bowl era, with reports noting a possible game-day call-up as soon as Week 9 at Houston.
