The Broncos are adding an interesting playmaker to their practice squad.
Denver is signing receiver Elijah Moore to the practice squad Tuesday, multiple sources confirmed to The Denver Post.
Moore visited Denver on Monday and is now joining the locker room in the midst of the club’s nine-game winning streak.
The former Ole Miss standout has bounced around — the Broncos are his fifth team in four seasons — but he’s also produced at multiple stops, including in a game against Denver last year with Cleveland.
Moore that night had eight catches for 111 yards in a wild game at Empower Field. Overall on the season, he caught 61 passes for 538 yards for the Browns. He put up similar numbers in Cleveland the year before — 59 catches for 640 yards and two touchdowns — and caught 80 passes for 984 yards and six touchdowns over his first two professional seasons with the New York Jets.
Moore originally was a second-round draft pick out of Ole Miss in 2021, taken No. 34 overall.
He played nine games for Buffalo this season and logged 186 total offensive snaps. He caught eight catches for 112 yards before the Bills released him Nov. 26.
Broncos coach Sean Payton has continuously expressed confidence in his receiver group, though Denver has tinkered with the mix in recent weeks. The Broncos released veteran Trent Sherfield last month and signed Lil’Jordan Humphrey off of the New York Giants’ practice squad.
Moore, if nothing else, will attempt to get up to speed quickly in Denver and serve as veteran depth in case of an injury in the group. When he’s at his best, though, he’s a versatile playmaker. The Broncos saw that up close a year ago.
In a corresponding move, the Broncos are releasing undrafted rookie wide receiver Kyrese Rowan from the practice squad, a source confirmed to The Post. Rowan re-signed to Denver’s practice squad in October after being waived during final roster cuts.
