As the Broncos have endured a rash of injuries at fullback, they’ve turned to the free-agent market for an old familiar.

The former Colorado State standout was originally signed by the Broncos in 2021 before moving on to Sean Payton's Saints in 2021.

The Broncos announced Prentice’s signing on Sunday. Guard Nick Gargiulo was placed on injured reserve after being injured in Saturday’s game against the Cardinals.

The Denver Broncos have placed guard Nick Gargiulo on season-ending IR. During the third quarter of the team's 27-7 win against the Arizona Cardinals, Gargiulo needed to be carted off the field. Both teams gathered around as an ambulance was able to transport him off the field in record time.
