Sean Payton: "Tremendous leader" Marcedes Lewis is in "great shape" at 41
Our Summary
The Denver Broncos have signed veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis to their practice squad after unsuccessful attempts to claim tight ends Brendan Bates and Ben Sims off waivers. Lewis, a 41-year-old former first-round pick from 2006, brings extensive experience and is known for his blocking abilities. Head coach Sean Payton praised Lewis for his fitness and leadership qualities, noting his impressive 20-year NFL career. The Broncos, currently holding a strong 6-2 record, aim to bolster their roster by addressing a key need ahead of their matchup against the Houston Texans. If Lewis plays, he will face Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans, also a 2006 first-round pick.
