The Broncos have signed linebacker Micah Kiser off of the Rams’ practice squad (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). Kiser will help fill in for starter Josey Jewell, who is done for the year with a torn pectoral muscle.

Kiser has agreed to a one-year, fully-guaranteed $600K deal with Denver, according to Rapoport. He’ll get a chance to see his first significant work of the season — to date, he’s got just 17 special teams snaps from Week 2 when the Rams faced the Colts. Last year, Kiser notched 77 total tackles, three passes defensed, and a forced fumble in nine starts for the Rams.
Kiser & Co. will look to go 3-0 on Sunday when they take on the Jets. Unfortunately, they’ll also be without fourth-year linebacker Bradley Chubb, who is recovering from ankle surgery. There’s no exact word on Chubb’s timetable just yet, but he’s expected to be out for six-to-eight weeks.
“Kiser & Co” hahahahha
Good move for a fill-in midseason, but losing Jewell, Chubb, and Darby are stiff blows individually for that defense, let alone holistically. Fangio’s doing a great coaching them, and the offense looks much better with Bridgewater, but the Broncos will need to work very hard to keep their current pace if they want a shot at the playoffs.
That penalty on Surtain against Charles last week just the silliest thing I’ve ever seen, by the way. Given his increased role, he needs to be on the lookout for experienced players trying those types of things on him in the future though.
Amazing that an NFL team can spend the entire off-season and training camp working with half a dozen free agent/draftee linebackers, make it sound like it was the hardest decision ever to leave them off the 53 man roster, and then not even consider them when one of the original 53 goes down to injury.
Very fair points.
