Matt Peart, offensive lineman for the Denver Broncos, is set to compete for a backup spot after returning from a torn MCL that placed him on injured reserve in 2025. Following a tough season where he continued to play on an injured knee, Peart took a pay cut this spring to remain with the team. Originally drafted by the New York Giants, he has made a notable impact as a backup for the Broncos since signing a one-year deal in 2024. His chances of making the 53-man roster are uncertain, especially after the Broncos selected Kage Casey in the recent draft.
