The Denver Broncos are signing OLB Jonathan Kongbo to their practice squad, according to Mike Klis.

Here’s the Broncos updated practice squad:

  1. DE McTelvin Agim
  2. T Quinn Bailey
  3. DE Jonathan Harris
  4. CB Faion Hicks
  5. QB Josh Johnson
  6. ILB Kana’i Mauga
  7. CB Ja’Quan McMillian
  8. G Netane Muti
  9. RB Devine Ozigbo
  10. OL William Sherman
  11. DB Anthony Harris
  12. LB Harvey Langi
  13. WR Trinity Benson
  14. LS Mitchell Fraboni
  15. LS Joe Fortunato
  16. OLB Jonathan Kongbo

Kongbo, 26, wound up going undrafted out of Tennessee back in 2020. He was drafted by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL with the No. 5 overall pick.

The 49ers signed Kongbo to a futures contract, but ended up releasing him with an injury settlement prior to the start of the season. From there, Denver signed Kongbo to a futures contract this past January and he’s been on and off the Broncos’ practice squad and active roster ever since. 

During his three-year college career, Kongbo recorded 51 tackles, 3.5 sacks, two interceptions and a pass defense over the course of 23 games.
