The Broncos re-signed nose tackle Kyle Peko to the active roster on Sunday, bringing the Broncos' active roster to 53 players.
Peko's return provides depth along the defensive line, which has been beset with injuries at both ends of the line. Starters Derek Wolfe and Jared Crick are recovering from a sprained ankle and back spasms, respectively, but they are both expected to return for the season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers.
However, Zach Kerr, who is listed as a backup at both defensive end and nose tackle, could be out for the first week as he heals from a knee bruise.
