Broncos host 5 defensive backs and 3 linebackers for tryouts

The Broncos brought in five defensive backs and three linebackers for tryouts on Friday.

The Denver Broncos recently held tryouts for eight free-agent defenders, consisting of five defensive backs and three linebackers, in preparation for their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Among the attendees were Ugochukwi Amadi, who impressed enough to sign with the team's practice squad, and players like Shemar Bartholomew, Natrone Brooks, Stephan Hall, Kobe King, Owen Pappe, T.J.

Quinn, and Ambry Thomas, who did not make the cut. The tryouts are a strategic move to bolster the Broncos' secondary, particularly in light of the absence of starting cornerbacks Pat Surtain and Riley Moss due to injuries. The addition of Amadi provides the team with added depth in the defensive backfield.
