The Denver Broncos are expected to sign veteran wide receiver Elijah Moore to their practice squad, according to a source familiar with the situation. The move adds experienced depth to the team’s receiving corps as the season continues.
Moore, who entered the NFL as a second-round draft pick by the New York Jets in 2021, has played for both the Jets and the Cleveland Browns in his career. Known for his versatility and route-running skills, Moore showed flashes of promise early in his professional tenure. His most productive season came in his rookie year, when he recorded over 500 receiving yards before being sidelined by injury.
While with the Browns, Moore continued to perform as a reliable slot receiver, contributing on intermediate routes and special teams. Despite moderate production, his experience and ability to operate both outside and inside make him a valuable asset, particularly in a depth or developmental role.
The decision to place Moore on the practice squad suggests the Broncos see an opportunity to utilize his skills in a flexible capacity. Practice squad contracts allow teams to evaluate players in practice settings and potentially elevate them to the active roster in response to injuries or performance needs.
This addition also reflects the Broncos’ efforts to maintain flexibility within their receiver group amid a dynamic and often unpredictable NFL season. Denver has faced various lineup changes this year, and adding a veteran presence like Moore provides insurance and additional competition in the wide receiver room.
The Broncos have not yet officially announced the signing, and terms of the deal were not disclosed at the time of reporting. The move will become official once Moore passes a physical and is formally signed to the practice squad.
Moore will aim to make an impact during team practices and could position himself for a promotion to the active roster should opportunities arise.
