The Denver Broncos have been almost perfect this year. However, the front office is aware of the needs in Bo Nix‘s offense, which is why the club has signed a new player — one who was with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills this same season.
Standing at 10-2, the Broncos are practically in the playoffs. Nevertheless, the front office aims for that first-week bye, which is why Denver has added a new weapon for Bo Nix to keep the streak alive and secure the No. 1 seed.
On Tuesday, the Broncos announced that Elijah Moore has been signed to their practice squad. The wide receiver is expected to be elevated in the upcoming days, as he could provide a massive boost to Nix’s offense.
Elijah Moore brings more versatility and depth to the Broncos
As of today, Courtland Sutton remains the best wide receiver on the roster. However, there has been a lot of uncertainty about the rest of the corps behind the talented veteran.
Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant are listed as WR2 and WR3, respectively. Marvin Mims Jr. is the fourth option, but his duties as a punt returner reduce his workload on offense.
The 25-year-old wideout has not enjoyed a great career so far, averaging just above 550 receiving yards in the five seasons he has been in the NFL. However, the lack of depth is where Elijah Moore could find his opportunity to shine in Denver.
