Overview
- The Denver Broncos signed offensive lineman Reid Holskey and cornerback Blake Cotton Thursday after both worked out as tryout players during the team's minicamp, multiple outlets reported.
- Holskey, a 6-foot-6 lineman who went undrafted and spent 2025 on the New York Giants practice squad, agreed to a reported one-year deal and is likeliest to compete for a practice-squad spot rather than an immediate 53-man job.
- Cotton, a 6-foot-2 former Utah corner who went undrafted in 2026 and attended the Carolina Panthers' rookie minicamp in May, earned a contract after his Denver tryout and adds size to an already deep cornerback group.
- To clear a roster spot for Holskey the team waived offensive lineman Nash Jones, and the Broncos must make at least one more cut to fit Cotton under the offseason roster limit, per local reporting.
- The moves reflect a common NFL pattern of converting minicamp tryouts into low-cost depth or practice-squad candidates and continue Denver's habit of bringing in former Utah players as competition ahead of training camp.
