Denver Broncos sign J.T. Gray off Baltimore's practice squad to bolster a shaky special-teams unit, aiming to curb big returns after a 72-yard kickoff by Kene Nwangwu helped the Jets set up a field goal. Gray, a Saints-era Pro Bowler on special teams, joins Darren Rizzi's staff and could quickly push Denver's coverage to the next level. The move comes as Denver rides a three-game win streak and retools after Sam Franklin Jr. left for Buffalo.

Gray’s presence should improve field position and add a playmaking edge on return coverage, potentially lifting the entire unit. It’s a low-risk, high-upside upgrade that aligns with Denver’s emphasis on special-teams efficiency as they pursue deeper playoff runs.
