Broncos reinstates Uwazurike

Denver Broncos defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike has been reinstated from his gambling suspension, which lasted just over a year after he was suspended for betting on NFL games during the 2022 season. At 26 years old and a fourth-round draft pick in 2022, Uwazurike is now eligible to participate in team activities and is expected to compete for a spot on the Broncos' 53-man roster during training camp. The State of Colorado has opted not to file charges against him, and he has been preparing for his return through counseling and conditioning. Coach Sean Payton expressed support for Uwazurike, indicating he has a chance to make the team despite a crowded defensive line. Uwazurike previously played in eight games during his rookie season, recording 17 tackles. His reinstatement comes as the Broncos assess their roster ahead of the upcoming season.
