On the same day that starting safety Brandon Jones was placed on injured reserve with a pectoral injury, the Denver Broncos lost a reserve safety to another team.
The New York Jets poached safety Keidron Smith off the Broncos ' practice squad on Monday, signing him to their active roster. Smith (6-2, 210 pounds) has been with Denver since December of the 2023 season, mostly on the practice squad. He made nine appearances in 2024 but did not play in any games with the Broncos this season.
