After getting burned two straight weeks for touchdowns against tight ends, Denver signed a rookie linebacker from Seattle’s practice squad who may be able to help with that.
Joseph Jones is an undrafted, nickel linebacker from Northwestern who racked up 14 tackles (11 solo) in three preseason games for the Dallas Cowboys, who originally signed him after the draft.
Joseph Jones is 6-0, 231 rookie LB from Northwestern. A nickel linebacker type, good in pass coverage. Broncos and TEs, you know. #9sports
