Denver's 17-player practice squad update centers on Adam Prentice’s elevation to the 53-man roster and A.J. Woods stepping in to fill Prentice’s practice squad spot. The Broncos’ group also adds depth pieces at wide receiver (A.T. Perry, Michael Bandy, Thayer Thomas), running back Deuce Vaughn, tight ends Caleb Lohner and Patrick Murtagh, along with offensive linemen Calvin Throckmorton and Joe Michalski, plus several blockers, defenders and special-teams contributors. A new cornerback, Jon Heath, headlines the defensive shuffling.

For fantasy and betting, Perry, Vaughn and Woods stand out as players to monitor for early-season usage or injury-driven opportunities. Woods brings NFL experience and a Super Bowl ring with Philadelphia, while Vaughn’s presence adds RB depth behind the Denver depth chart. The remainder are depth pieces whose fantasy impact hinges on injuries or roster moves down the line.

Jadeveon Clowney joined the Dallas Cowboys and hit the practice field in No. 42, a number formerly worn by Deuce Vaughn. The veteran edge brings size, power, and instant leadership to a front blending seasoned players with youngsters, already mentoring peers and offering pass-rush tips in early work with the defense.

Dallas is leaning into leadership this offseason, with Brian Schottenheimer pushing a culture of accountability. Clowney’s résumé—409 tackles, 58 sacks, peak 9.5 sacks in a season (Ravens 2023; Texans 2017)—gives the Cowboys a credible anchor to pressure quarterbacks and elevate the overall rush.

Jadeveon Clowney signed a one-year, 3.5 million dollar deal with the Cowboys to bolster the defensive line, with incentives pushing the max to 6 million. He’s set for a debut against the Bears as Dallas adds veteran edge rushing and run defense to a front that helped secure Week 2 over the Giants.

A jersey-number shuffle from 96 to 42 accompanies the move, a number freed when Deuce Vaughn was released. Early snaps will be monitored, but Clowney’s presence should upgrade the trenches and complicate opponents’ game plans in forthcoming weeks.

Denver signed Deuce Vaughn to its practice squad, giving a small, elusive back a path back to the active roster amid a crowded RB room. Vaughn, a 2023 Dallas draft pick, logged 40 carries for 110 yards in two seasons with the Cowboys before being cut. He joins a Denver group led by Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, with Jaydon Blue, Phil Mafah, RJ Harvey, Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin also in the mix. If elevated, Vaughn could be a change-of-pace option or a add-on in the passing game, depending on how the role develops and health.

Fantasy managers should watch Vaughn’s trajectory as injuries and matchup-driven opportunities surface. A practice-squad elevation would hinge on special-teams value and situational usage; if he sticks on the active roster, he becomes a speculative dart in deeper dynasty formats or DFS for spot-starts when a favorable game script arises.

Denver worked out Deuce Vaughn, a 23-year-old Cowboys alum, as Week 1 nears. Vaughn, at 5-6, 185 pounds, appeared in 14 games over two seasons with 40 carries for 110 yards and 10 receptions for 58 yards. His speed stands out, but his size limits his NFL ceiling. Denver could view him as a change-of-pace, gadget option and valuable special-teams asset behind a four-man backfield. Payton has praised Darren Sproles-type players, hinting Vaughn could fit that mold if he lands on the practice squad. The Broncos released Quinton Newsome during the workout and remain open to adding Vaughn to bolster depth.
