Cody Schrader: Everything you need to know

The Broncos signed Schrader to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports. A future deal means Schrader will be on Denver's 90-man roster at the start of the offseason, which will allow him to participate in OTAs and minicamp. He was cut by the Rams at the end of traiing camp in late August and had stints with the Jaguars and Texans before catching on with the Broncos in December.

The Broncos signed Schrader to the practice squad Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. The Broncos claimed Schrader on Dec. 15 before waiving him Thursday. The running back has yet to play in a game for the team, but will wait for a potential elevation opportunity. With RJ Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin, and Tyler Badie all healthy and active, Schrader is not a likely candidate for elevation to the active roster this week.
