Broncos Make Four Moves Including Elevating QB Ben DiNucci

The Denver Broncos officially made four roster moves for Week 15’s game against the Lions. 

Here’s the full list:

• Broncos elevated QB Ben DiNucci and NT Tyler Lancaster to their active roster.
• Broncos signed TE Lucas Krull to their active roster.
• Broncos signed DE Ronnie Perkins to their practice squad.

DiNucci, 27, originally began his college career at Pittsburgh before transferring to James Madison for the 2018 season. The Cowboys used the No. 231 overall pick in the seventh round on him in 2020. 

DiNucci signed a four-year, $3,390,148 rookie contract that includes a $95,148 signing bonus. He was waived coming out of the preseason and later signed to the Cowboys’ practice squad. 

Dallas brought him back on a futures contract back in 2022 only to release him at the start of the season. He parlayed a strong season with the XFL’s Seattle Sea Dragons into a futures deal with the Broncos in May. 

The Broncos later added DiNucci to their practice squad. 

In 2020, DiNucci appeared in three games for the Cowboys and completed 23-43 pass attempts for 219 yards. He also rushed six times for 22 yards.
