The Broncos will not sign a quarterback with NFL experience to replace the injured Patrick Ramsey, instead choosing to promote Darrell Hackney next week.

The Denver Post believes that the team will turn to a Bruce Gradkowski or Craig Nall as opposed to Daunte Culpepper if they eventually need an experienced backup.

Broncos signed QB Darrell Hackney, center Greg Eslinger, lineman Mark Fenton, defensive tackle Stephen Harris, receiver Glenn Martinez, tackle Cliff Washburn and safeties Steve Cargile and Roderick Rogers to their practice squad.

Hackney reportedly showed nice arm strength and mobility in the preseason and could serve as an emergency option at quarterback.

Broncos quarterback Darrell Hackney was reportedly arrested early Saturday on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Broncos signed QB Darrell Hackney from their practice squad.

Denver’s answer to Jared Lorenzen? The 6-0/250-pound UAB product takes Simeon Rice’s spot on the roster and moves into an emergency quarterback role. His elevation doesn’t necessarily mean Denver is worried about Jay Cutler’s status for Sunday.

Broncos waived QB Darrell Hackney.

Hackney never had much chance to last through Denver’s regime change, but this move leaves the Broncos with only two QBs under contract (Chris Simms, Kyle Orton). It potentially sets the stage for them to add a passer in the draft.

Broncos signed QB Cullen Finnerty.

Finnerty signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent last season, and stuck on the practice squad before being signed to the active roster for the final two games of the season. Baltimore didn’t tender him. As it stands, he’ll compete with Darrell Hackney for the team’s No. 3 quarterback job.

Broncos activated QB Darrell Hackney from their practice squad and waived T/TE Matt Murphy.

The big-bodied UAB product has been with the Broncos, primarily on the practice squad, since 2006. With Patrick Ramsey out for the season, Hackney is one Jay Cutler injury away from starting in the NFL. Fortunately, Cutler is indestructible.
