The roster shuffling continues for the Denver Broncos.

After initially agreeing to acquire linebacker Daiyan Henley in a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers on Tuesday, Denver waived cornerback Sean Fresch from the 53-man roster to create an opening for Henley. The Broncos also cut defensive back Ugo Amadi from the practice squad, presumably to create a spot for Fresch to return.

The Henley trade then fell through on Wednesday after the team spotted an "issue" with his knee during the linebacker's physical. That left Denver with an open spot on the active roster and the practice squad after two defensive backs were cut on Tuesday.

Fresch was officially re-signed to the practice squad on Friday, and the team still has an open spot remaining on the active

roster.

Fresch, a UFL signing this offseason, has appeared in four games for the Broncos this season, totaling three tackles on 57 special teams snaps. He also returned six kickoffs for 153 yards, averaging 25.5 yards per return.
