Blake Watson tries out with Lions after Broncos stint

Blake Watson, a former running back for the Denver Broncos, had a tryout with the Detroit Lions this week. Watson, who signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2024, spent part of his rookie season on the practice squad after appearing in two games. After being cut by Denver in 2025 due to an injury, he joined the practice squad of the Tennessee Titans but was released in April and has since been a free agent. Meanwhile, other ex-Broncos players are also navigating roster changes, including Kyre Duplessis, who was recently released and is now a free agent.
