The Denver Broncos brought in four defensive linemen for tryouts on Tuesday, according to the NFL’s transaction wire.
The Broncos hosted Michael Dwumfour, Thor Griffith, Devonnsha Maxwell and Gavin Meyer on the same day that undrafted rookie defensive lineman Kristian Williams did not practice with an undisclosed injury. With one more preseason game remaining, Denver appears to be looking for more defensive line depth.
Dwumfour (6-1, 296 pounds) entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Rutgers with the New York Jets in 2021. He has spent time with six NFL teams, totaling 13 tackles and a half sack in 13 career appearances.
Griffith (6-2, 305 pounds) signed with the Seattle Seahawks this spring as a UDFA out of Louisville. He was waived by Seattle on July 31.
Maxwell (6-2, 297 pounds) joined the Cincinnati Bengals as a UDFA out of Chattanooga in 2023. After spending his rookie season on injured reserve, Maxwell was cut by the Bengals last summer. He spent this spring playing for the UFL’s DC Defenders. Maxwell totaled 22 tackles and blocked a kick in DC’s title-winning campaign.
Meyer (6-3, 285 pounds) went undrafted this spring after recording 32 tackles and one sack at USC last fall. He spent four years at Wyoming before transferring to USC ahead of the 2024 season.
If the Broncos sign a defensive lineman, they will need to make a corresponding move to open up a spot on the 91-player offseason roster. Denver will close out preseason against the New Orleans Saints on Saturday.
