The Broncos announced Sunday that they signed rookie offensive tackle Charles Sweeton and waived injured tackle Connor Rains.
Rains, a college free agent out of Wyoming, hurt his foot during Friday’s training camp practice and was placed on the waived/injured list.
Sweeton is a 6-foot-5, 291-pound tackle from the University of Tennessee-Martin. He was a four-year starter and a first-team Ohio Valley Conference selection as a senior last year. He was initially signed by Kansas City in May as a college free agent before being released a week later.
After wide receiver Kyle Williams ruptured his Achilles’ tendon Saturday, the Broncos had yet another gap to fill.
