Davis, 24, is an undrafted rookie out of Northwest Missouri State who participated in training camp and part of the preseason with the Broncos. He was waived on Aug. 12 — and now returns, wearing jersey No. 86, ahead of the club's Week 10 road tilt at Tennessee.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound ball-catcher started 17 games across two collegiate campaigns for the Bearcats, totaling 960 yards and 11 touchdowns on 55 receptions.

Benson, a former UDFA, spent his first three seasons (2019-2021) in Denver though never made a regular-season appearance. The speedster became something of a 2021 exhibition darling; that August, the Broncos traded Benson and a 2023 sixth-round pick to the Lions for 2022 fifth- and seventh-round selections.

Benson played in eight games with the Lions, notching 10 grabs for 103 yards. Denver re-signed him to their taxi squad on Oct. 13, roughly three months after Benson was waived.
