Broncos officially sign massive tight end to practice squad

After setting a 53-man roster on Tuesday, the Denver Broncos announced their first 15 practice squad signings on Wednesday.

One reported signing that was not yet official on Wednesday was that of tight end Donald Parham , who had to travel to Colorado to join the club. The 15 players that the club announced Wednesday were all cut by Denver earlier in the week and were still in the area and available to sign immediately.

Now the Parham signing is also official as the Broncos announced his addition to the practice squad on Thursday morning.

Parham is a massive (6-8, 237 pounds) tight end who spent the last four years with the Los Angeles Chargers. The 27-year-old tight end totaled 67 receptions for 764 yards and 11 touchdowns in 47 games (23 starts) with the Chargers before landing in Denver.

The Broncos have now officially made 16 of their 17 practice squad additions. One more spot is yet to be filled.
