The Denver Broncos have re-signed cornerback Sean Fresch to their practice squad, bringing him back after waiving him earlier in the week. Denver had released Fresch while expecting to complete a trade for Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley. That deal was called off, leaving the Broncos with an open spot on their 53-man roster.
Denver is on a bye this week, so Fresch was not needed immediately. His return could provide depth in the secondary: backup cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine was unavailable in Week 9, and starting corner Riley Moss left the Broncos’ win over the Carolina Panthers early with a concussion. Fresch’s most significant contributions so far have come on special teams.
The Broncos have elevated Fresch from the practice squad three times this season. To make him active for another game, they would need to sign him to the 53-man roster.
## Fresch Brings Versatility and Energy
Fresch has described himself as a player willing to contribute wherever the team needs him, including at cornerback, nickel and punt returner. In an August interview, he said he aims to give his best effort at every position and believes he can make an impact on both defense and special teams.
Undrafted in 2025, Fresch built his profile in the UFL before joining Denver. He has said he waited a long time for an opportunity to reach this level and is eager to make the most of it. He also described the energy and positivity he brings to the team, emphasizing that he puts his teammates and the team first.
