Denver Broncos sign former Packers draft pick to practice squad

Denver Broncos sign former Packers draft pick to practice squad originally appeared on The Sporting News

Following one of the biggest wins the Denver Broncos have gotten in the last several years, the team has added another option to its practice squad. 

The Broncos pulled off a come-from-behind win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, improving to 3-2 on the season while handing the Eagles their first defeat. As the team prepares to head to London for its Week 6 battle with the New York Jets, it has signed former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Samori Toure. 

Toure was a seventh-round pick out of Nebraska in 2022. He spent two seasons in Green Bay before playing for the Chicago Bears last season as part of their practice squad. For his career, he has 13 receptions for 160 yards and one touchdown. 

He joins a deep wide receiver group in Denver, led by Courtland Sutton. Marvin Mims Jr., Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Trent Sherfield round out the depth. In addition to that, the team has three other receivers already on the practice squad: Michael Bandy, A.T. Perry and Thomas Thayer. However, one of these players may be released to make room for him.

It remains to be seen where Toure will rank in the team's pecking order, but he's still just 27 years old and should have a chance to develop within the organization.
