The Denver Broncos ended up adding one new player ahead of the NFL's trade deadline on Tuesday, acquiring linebacker Daiyan Henley through a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Broncos also explored options at tight end, safety and running back, with Jonathan Taylor, Tony Pollard and Trey McBride among the big-name players Denver checked in on.

The Broncos also had conversations with other clubs about in-house running back J.K. Dobbins and tight end Evan Engram, but both of those players ended up remaining in Denver.

In addition to adding Henley, the Broncos could get several reinforcements back from injuries after their Week 10 bye.

There is hope that wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (concussion), safety Brandon Jones (hamstring), cornerback Riley Moss (concussion), safety Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) and cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine (ankle) could return in time for a Week 11 showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Additionally, defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike (shoulder) does not have a season-ending injury, so he is expected to return from injured reserve later this season. Denver running backs Tyler Badie (thumb) and RJ Harvey (knee) are eligible to return from IR in Weeks 12 and 13, respectively. And outside linebacker Jonah Elliss (ankle) is also eligible to return in Week 12.

So, more reinforcements are on the way for the 7-2 Broncos following their mid-season break.
