Broncos promoting OLB Dondrea Tillman to 53-man roster, source says, after Baron Browning’s Week 2 foot injury
Denver Post
Denver continues to make moves within its outside linebacker group after Baron Browning’s Week 2 foot injury against Pittsburgh.
The Broncos are promoting outside linebacker Dondrea Tillman to the 53-man roster, a source confirmed to The Post on Wednesday morning. Tillman, a former UFL standout, spent the offseason with Denver and was on the practice squad for the first two weeks of the regular season.
It’s the second OLB-related move the Broncos have made since Browning’s injury. On Tuesday they agreed to sign Andrew Farmer, a former Los Angeles Chargers pass-rusher, to the practice squad. Each of those moves will likely be made official Wednesday and a corresponding move on the 53-man roster is still required, too. That move, of course, could be placing a player on injured reserve or it could be a waiver or release.
Denver has been working through the loss of two players to injury Sunday in Browning and right tackle Mike McGlinchey (left knee). McGlinchey is expected to miss about four weeks with an MCL sprain.
