Safety Taylor Rapp participates in workout for the Broncos

Safety Taylor Rapp participated in a workout for the Broncos on Friday as indicated by NFL transaction reports. The team previously released Rapp in August, but head coach Sean Payton indicated at the time that the safety required personal time away from the team. Payton noted in August that there was a strong possibility of Rapp returning to the organization later in the season. Any potential contract would likely begin with an assignment to the practice squad, allowing the veteran to integrate with the roster and remain eligible for gameday activations. Rapp has appeared in 57 career NFL games during his time with the Rams and the Bills, including six appearances for Buffalo last season. The workout marks the first step toward a potential reunion for both parties.
