Broncos bring back Matt Henningsen on one-year deal after Achilles injury.

The Denver Broncos have re-signed defensive lineman Matt Henningsen to a one-year contract, the team announced Wednesday. Henningsen missed the entire 2025 season after suffering a torn Achilles during joint training camp practices with the San Francisco 49ers. The injury halted what had been a developing role for the former undrafted lineman, who last appeared in a regular-season game in 2023. Now back under contract, Henningsen will look to reestablish himself in Denver’s defensive rotation. His return adds depth to a defensive front that has continued to evolve under the Broncos’ current roster rebuild. Heading into the offseason, Henningsen is expected to compete for a roster spot as he works his way back from the significant injury.
