Broncos defensive lineman Matt Henningsen returns after Achilles injury
Summary

Matt Henningsen, a defensive lineman for the Denver Broncos, has returned to the team following a season-ending torn Achilles injury sustained in 2025. Henningsen, who was drafted in 2022, played in 17 games in 2023 and was on the practice squad in 2024. The Broncos have re-signed him on a one-year deal for 2026. However, his chances to make the 53-man roster appear slim due to competition from younger players.
