Broncos Bring Taylor Rapp Back for Tryout

The visit follows his Aug. 26 release for personal reasons, signaling Denver is weighing him for depth or a practice‑squad role.

Overview

  • The Denver Broncos hosted veteran safety Taylor Rapp for another tryout on Friday, Sept. 4, but have not announced a new contract.
  • Denver first signed Rapp on Aug. 20 and released him on Aug. 26 after he attended one practice, with coach Sean Payton saying the break was for a personal matter rather than performance.
  • Rapp missed most of 2025 after knee surgery with the Buffalo Bills and was released by Buffalo in March, so his medical status remains a key factor in any return.
  • If signed, Rapp would be depth behind starters Talanoa Hufanga and Brandon Jones and is widely viewed as likeliest to begin on the practice squad with occasional active-roster call-ups.
  • The quick re-engagement underscores how teams use short-term signings and tryouts to evaluate veteran health, personal availability, and special-teams or sub-package value before final roster decisions.
