The Denver Broncos have brought back a familiar face to help bolster their offensive line, adding veteran Cam Fleming to the practice squad. Although Fleming has not played for any other team since signing with the Broncos in 2021, this was the fourth time he signed with the Broncos.
A fourth-round pick in 2014, Fleming also played for the New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants. He played in 26 games for the Broncos and made 20 starts. The team likes Alex Palczewski and Matt Peart in the tackle role, but Fleming has been sturdy when called upon during his tenure with the Broncos.
Palczewski too suffered a high ankle sprain during week 5 and I might miss some time.
Cam Fleming practiced for the Broncos last Thursday. Signed for the practice squad today. Invaluable depth because O-Line hit a bit. LT Garett Bolles also missed four games Sunday with a lower leg injury, although he returned to the game.

That wasn’t the only decision the Broncos made Tuesday. In addition to signing receiver AT Perry to the practice squad, the team also made the following transactions.
Center Dieter Eiselen joined the practice squad
Signed WR Kaden Davis to the practice squad (again)
Remove RB Salvon Ahmed from practice squad
Remove DB Quinton Newsome from practice squad
Born in South Africa, Eiselen went undrafted by Yale in 2020 and played for the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans. He played 26 matches during his career.
Davis signed with the Broncos for the third time and second time this season. The Broncos signed him to the practice squad in September, released him last week and have now brought him back.
Ahmed joined the practice squad last week following Tyler Badie’s injury, but his stay in Denver was short-lived. His release is likely a sign that Audric Estime is ready to come off injured reserve.
Finally, Newsome was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska and spent that summer in Denver, lobbying for a roster spot. He didn’t make the final 53-man roster and was signed to the practice squad, where he has been ever since, but the Broncos had to make room for Eiselen and Davis and opted to parting ways with Newsome.
Additionally, the Broncos added offensive lineman Will Sherman to the practice squad injured list.
