The Broncos have added depth to their offensive line by plucking veteran tackle Geron Christian off the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad.
Christian’s agent, Keith Houston, confirmed the move Tuesday to The Denver Gazette. He said Christian will be at Denver’s practice Wednesday.
To make room on the roster for Christian, a source told The Denver Gazette thht Denver has waived wide receiver Michael Bandy. The Broncos want to re-sign Bandy to the practice squad if he clears waivers, and a source said the receiver would be agreeable to that.
Christian, a third-round pick by Washington in 2018, is in his eighth NFL season. In addition to Washington, Christian has played for Houston, Kansas City, Cleveland and the Los Angeles Rams.

Christian, 29, has appeared in 63 NFL games with 23 starts. He played for the Rams and Browns last season, getting into five games without a start.
Christian was on the Chiefs during their Super Bowl-winning season of 2022. He played in 10 regular-season games but did not get into a playoff game.
The Broncos face the Chiefs on Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High.
Christian will provide depth onthe offensive line with guard Ben Powers and tackle-guard Matt Peart both being on injured reserve. With Alex Palczewski having moved from tackle to left guard, Denver’s only reserve tackle had been second-year man Frank Crum.
With receiver-returner Marvin Mims Jr. missing the past two games with a concussion, Bandy was elevated from the practice squad primarily to return punts Nov. 2 at Houston. He was then signed to the 53-man roster to perform that role last Thursday against Las Vegas.
In two games, Bandy returned five punts for 29 yards and caught a pass for 16 yards. But Mims now is expected to return against the Chiefs.
