The Broncos signed Ehlinger to the practice squad Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Ehlinger lost a competition for the No. 2 quarterback role to Jarrett Stidham, but the former will remain in Denver as a part of the team's practice squad. Ehlinger last saw regular-season action in 2023, playing three offensive snaps for the Colts in Week 14 against the Bengals. The 2021 sixth-rounder could frequently earn an emergency quarterback designation this season, which would allow him to enter a game if Bo Nix and Stidham are both forced out of a game due to injury or ejection.
