The Denver Broncos assembled their initial 53-man roster, they put together a 16-player practice squad, and now they've added a 70th player to the field by using their International Player Exemption.
The Broncos have signed former Australian rugby player Patrick Murtagh to the practice squad, giving them an extra 17th player to develop and work with on a daily basis. NFL teams are not required to use the International Player Exemption, but why would you not if you have nothing to lose and everything to gain?
The Broncos actually had Murtagh in for a workout all the way back in June, so they got a closer look at him before the start of training camp.
