Marcedes Lewis ventures from Los Angeles to Joshua Tree about every six weeks.
The 41-year-old makes the trek to the desert, he said Wednesday, to “relax and just be intentional about my life moving forward.”
The trips are on hold for now.
Lewis had just returned to L.A. on Monday when he received a call from a Denver number. He didn’t answer. Another call. It was Broncos general manager George Paton.
How does a 20th professional season sound?
“They asked if I could hop on a flight tonight and I was like, ‘of course,’” Lewis told reporters here, after his first practice with the Broncos as a member of the practice squad.
