In a corresponding 53-man roster move after placing running back Mike Boone on injured reserve, the Denver Broncos signed wide receiver Freddie Swain off the Miami Dolphins practice squad, 9NEWS' Mike Klis reported Tuesday.
The team also executed two practice squad transactions as guard Netane Muti defected to the Las Vegas Raiders and defensive tackle McTelvin Agim was released.
Swain, 24, is a third-year pro who entered the NFL with the Seahawks, drafted 214th overall in 2020. There, he played alongside now-Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, catching 38 passes for 502 yards and six touchdowns over 33 career games, including nine starts.
The 6-foot, 199-pound wideout was released by Seattle in August and resurfaced in Miami the following month. Swain earned a promotion to the Dolphins' active roster ahead of their Week 14 loss at Los Angeles; he logged seven offensive snaps, failing to register a statistic.
