Overview

  • Denver added veteran tackle Michael Dwumfour on Wednesday to reinforce depth ahead of Saturday’s preseason finale in New Orleans.
  • Undrafted inside linebacker J.B. Brown was waived in the corresponding move after limited preseason production and being outpaced by fellow rookies Karene Reid and Jordan Turner.
  • The move follows injuries up front, including Matt Henningsen’s Aug. 7 torn Achilles and Kristian Williams being held out of practice this week.
  • Dwumfour was among four defensive linemen who worked out for the team Tuesday, alongside Thor Griffith, Devonnsha Maxwell and Gavin Meyer.
  • The well-traveled Dwumfour has logged 13 NFL games with Houston, San Francisco and Cleveland, and reports indicate he profiles as a practice-squad candidate rather than a 53-man roster lock.
