Burton signed with the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports. Burton appeared in all 17 regular-season games for Denver last season, operating as the team's fullback and a regular on special teams. However, he wasn't able to make the final cut this year, his 10th in the NFL. The Rutgers product likely has a good chance of ultimately finding his way to the 53-man roster this season.
