ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos added depth in the trenches Saturday as they signed defensive lineman DeShawn Williams.

Williams spent time with the Broncos during the 2018 and 2019 offseasons and was on the team's practice squad briefly early in the 2018 season. He most recently competed with the team during the Broncos' 2019 training camp.

The 6-foot-1, 291-pound player has appeared in four career games, which all came in 2016 while he was with the Bengals.

Williams joins a defensive line that includes Jurrell Casey, Mike Purcell, Shelby Harris, Dre'Mont Jones, DeMarcus Walker, Christian Covington and McTelvin Agim. The Broncos last week waived/non-football illness defensive lineman Jonathan Harris.

Denver is off from practice on Saturday but will return to the field Sunday.

I don't see quite how he fits in, but certainly a high quality "depth" player.

Williams is on and off the roster every few months. Seems like a friend favor to keep his name around the NFL. ;)

Williams plays the kind of interior Dline the Broncos like - but he could pass waivers and make the expanded roster - which is a depth move.

I'm not seeing/reading much about him. I found a few college videos of him and it wasn't impressive. He didn't stand out at all. I guess it doesn't hurt to have a guy in the pipeline that is getting coached up, I suppose.
