Broncos terminate contract of injured offensive lineman with settlement

After placing offensive lineman Will Sherman on the practice squad/injured list on Tuesday, the Denver Broncos terminated his contract on Wednesday after reaching an injury settlement with the player.

Sherman (6-4, 300 pounds) Sherman injured his ankle during a practice last week. After reaching a settlement with the team, he now becomes a free agent. Once healthy, Sherman might be a candidate to return to the Broncos.

Elsewhere on the roster front, Denver officially signed wide receiver A.T. Perry to their practice squad on Wednesday. The Broncos added four players to their practice squad this week, clearing out Sherman, running back Salvon Ahmed and defensive back Quinton Newsome to make room. Denver also promoted linebacker Levelle Bailey to the active roster.

On the injury front, the Broncos have also opened 21-day windows for running back Audric Estime (ankle) and cornerback Damarri Mathis (ankle) to return from injured reserve to the 53-man roster.
