The Denver Broncos made two changes to their practice squad ahead of a Week 13 showdown with the Houston Texans.
First, the Broncos released outside linebacker Marcus Haynes from the practice squad on Monday. Denver made that move to be able to add more depth at safety during Kareem Jackson’s four-game suspension.
After cutting Haynes on Monday, the Broncos signed safety Dallin Leavitt to the practice squad on Tuesday, the team announced.
Leavitt (5-10, 195 pounds) entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Utah State with the Oakland (now Las Vegas) Raiders in 2018. After four years with the Raiders, Leavitt spent time with the Green Bay Packers over the last two seasons.
Leavitt has appeared in 69 career games, playing primarily on special teams. He has 1,339 career snaps on special teams and 378 snaps on defense.
Meanwhile, on the free agent front, linebacker Shaquille Leonard had a visit with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday and he is now set to visit the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday.
At the time of publication, there’s been no word on a potential trip to Denver, but ESPN reported that week that the Broncos are interested in Leonard. Denver still has an open spot on the 53-man roster following Jackson’s suspension.
