Sean Payton gives Taysom Hill status; ex-Broncos WR works out for Chiefs

Broncos coach Sean Payton commented on Taysom Hill after Wednesday's practice, and an ex-Denver WR set up a workout with the Chiefs.

The Denver Broncos have decided against signing free agent tight end Taysom Hill, according to head coach Sean Payton. Payton indicated last month that the team would consider adding Hill and even spoke with him during the Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony for Drew Brees. However, no updates have been provided since then.

In their current roster, Denver has Evan Engram, Adam Trautman, Nate Adkins, and rookie Dallen Bentley as their four tight ends. The Broncos also have Lucas Krull available on the practice squad. Following roster cuts, the team added three receivers, but undrafted rookie wide receiver/returner Cam Ross will now work out for the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday, as reported by the Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson. The Broncos are set to face the Chiefs in an upcoming Monday Night Football game on September 14.
