With Josey Jewell going to injured reserve with a pectoral injury, Denver is adding some depth to its linebackers.
According to multiple reports, the Broncos are signing Micah Kiser off the Rams practice squad.
Kiser was a fifth-round pick in the 2018 draft out of Virginia. He was a heavy special teams contributor as a rookie before suffering a season-ending pectoral injury in August 2019. He started nine games for L.A. in 2020, recording 77 total tackles, three passes defensed, and a forced fumble.
He was elevated off the practice squad in Week Two to play 17 special teams snaps in the Rams’ victory over the Colts.
Having played for now-Chargers head coach Brandon Staley, who worked under Broncos head coach Vic Fangio in Chicago and Denver, Kiser should be familiar with the basics of his new team’s defensive scheme.
