Broncos sign TE John Phillips, waive TE Manasseh Garner
The Broncos added tight end John Phillips and waived TE Manasseh Garner with the non-football illness designation.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- With Jeff Heuerman and Virgil Green returning from injuries that sidelined them during OTAs, the Broncos added another tight end Thursday morning, signing eight-year veteran John Phillips.
To make room for Phillips on the 90-man roster, the Broncos waived TE Manasseh Garner with the non-football illness designation.
Primarily a blocker, Phillips spent the last three seasons with the Chargers after playing four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, who picked him in the sixth round of the 2009 NFL Draft.
