The Denver Broncos place center Michael Deiter on season-ending injured reserve and sign veteran center Lecitus Smith, according to reports citing 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis. Deiter is described as being injured during practice earlier in the week and carted off the field.
Broncos head coach Sean Payton is reported to say Deiter’s injury is season-ending. The move adds Smith to the roster as Denver adjusts its offensive line depth. Across the outlets, the core details align: Deiter sustains the injury during team practice, the team lists him on IR for the remainder of the season, and Smith is brought in to replace him.
