Broncos Reinforce Secondary with Super Bowl Champ Rapp
16 Oct
Summary
- Rapp, a Super Bowl champion, joins the Broncos' roster.
- Surtain and Hufanga are out with ankle injuries.
- Fresch may see his first NFL defensive snaps against Seattle.
The Denver Broncos have made roster elevations to address key injuries ahead of their Week 6 "Thursday Night Football" game against the Seattle Seahawks. Veteran safety Taylor Rapp and cornerback Sean Fresch Jr. have been moved from the practice squad to the active game-day roster. This decision comes as starting safety Talanoa Hufanga and cornerback Pat Surtain II are both out due to ankle injuries.
Rapp, a Super Bowl LVI winner with the Los Angeles Rams, brings significant experience to the Broncos' secondary. He was signed during training camp and has a favorable career record against the Seahawks. This elevation could be the first of several appearances for Rapp, as Hufanga is projected to miss multiple weeks.
Fresch, a second-year player who spent time in the UFL, has already played in one game this season, returning kicks. He may now see his first defensive snaps in the NFL. The Broncos have limited additional elevations for both players, indicating a potential for permanent roster additions if they perform well.
