The Denver Broncos made a change to their practice squad on Wednesday after losing a player to the New Orleans Saints.
The Saints signed rookie defensive lineman P.J. Mustipher off Denver’s practice squad, via Saints Wire. The 318-pound defensive lineman signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent out of Penn State in May and he spent the first 13 weeks of the 2023 season on the practice squad.
Mustipher will now get a raise and a chance to compete for playing time as a member of New Orleans’ active roster. Denver, meanwhile, filled the spot formerly held by Mustipher on the practice squad by signing linebacker Durell Nchami.
Nchami (6-4, 260 pounds) is an undrafted rookie out of Maryland. He totaled 49 tackles, nine sacks, one pass breakup and four forced fumbles in 33 career games with the Terrapins from 2018-2022.
Nchami (pronounced CHAH-me) will wear No. 53 with the Broncos. Denver’s practice squad and 53-man roster are now both full.
