Kendell Brooks joins the Titans' practice squad, providing depth at safety and a potential special-teams lift as Week 5 vs. Arizona nears. Blake Watson lands on the practice squad injured list, leaving Tennessee to navigate depth behind its top backs and Winston Jr.

Brooks flashed in camp and preseason, with stints across the Cardinals, Colts and Commanders shaping a versatile, ST‑savvy profile. For fantasy players, it's a defensive depth move with limited immediate upside, but it signals the Titans' willingness to lean on depth and special teams if injuries mount.

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.

Denver may bring Blake Watson back on the practice squad after an injury settlement, a move that hinges on a three-week waiting period. If healthy, he could be eligible for a Week 3 re-signing ahead of Denver’s clash with the Chargers. Watson’s preseason output (18 carries, 75 yards, 10 receptions, 50 yards) suggests depth but little immediate fantasy upside until a promotion occurs.

Watson, a Memphis product who signed with Denver as an undrafted free agent in 2024, faces procedural hurdles before a return. The Broncos’ interest signals they value his potential as a developmental depth piece; fantasy managers should monitor the rehab timeline and any elevation opportunities later in the season.

Karene Reid earned a spot on Denver's 53-man roster as the latest undrafted free agent to crack the active squad, extending a Broncos tradition of UDFA selections for 21 of the last 22 years. Reid’s preseason numbers—five solo tackles, a fumble recovery, an interception, and a pass deflection—caught the eye of Sean Payton, who labeled Reid a draftable player. He projects as a potential middle-linebacker option and a key special-teams contributor should injuries strike the linebacking corps.

Reid’s rise came as Levelle Bailey and Jordan Turner were released, opening a path for him while continuing Denver’s UDFA pipeline. The Broncos had three UDFA on the initial roster in 2024—Levelle Bailey, Frank Crum, and Blake Watson—with Crum returning to the roster in 2025. If Alex Singleton or Dre Greenlaw miss time, Reid would be next man up in the middle, underscoring Denver’s ongoing trust in undrafted talent to fill depth roles and bolster overall roster versatility.
