Broncos Give Update on Injured Tight End<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the offseason, the\u00a0Denver Broncos<\/a> added depth to their tight end room in the form Cole Fotheringham, who impressed the team during a tryout at rookie minicamp.<\/p>\n

His stay with the franchise lasted just over a month, as the Broncos released him on Tuesday. That was until they brought him back into the fold in a second formal transaction in four days, placing him on injured reserve after he cleared waivers on Friday.<\/p>\n

According to Broncos Wire’s Jon Heath<\/a>, Fotheringham will spend the entirety of the 2025 season on the Broncos’ injury reserve list unless he reaches an injury settlement and is released from the team again.<\/p>\n

In a subsequent transaction, the Broncos signed Caden Prieskorn as an undrafted free agent. Prieskorn, who played college football at Memphis and Ole Miss, previously participated in the\u00a0Detroit Lions<\/a>‘ rookie minicamp but was cut at its conclusion.<\/p>\n

Fotheringham’s professional football career began in 2022, when he was signed by the\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> as an undrafted free agent. He spent that season on the Raiders’ practice squad after not making the team’s final 53-man roster cut.<\/p>\n

Fotheringham’s 2023 campaign nearly mirrored that of the year before, but he was elevated to the Raiders’ active roster for two games. He recorded his lone professional reception\u00a0\u2013 a six-yard catch on a pass from\u00a0quarterback<\/a> Aidan O’Connell\u00a0\u2013\u00a0in his NFL debut against the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

For the second straight offseason, Fotheringham signed a reserve\/future contract with the Raiders, but he was once again released before the regular season began. In 2024, he had stints on both the\u00a0Houston Texans<\/a>‘ and Raiders’ practice squads, but he was not elevated to the active roster at any point that year.<\/p>\n
