According to The Denver Post, the Denver Broncos have signed veteran quarterback Ingle Martin.

Per the report, Martin was signed directly after a tryout this morning and fills the void left by backup Chris Simms, who went down with a high ankle sprain against Seattle last Saturday night and will be out for two to four weeks.

Martin was a fifth-round pick of the Green Bay Packers out of Furman University in 2006 and has since spent time with the Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs.

Martin has never attempted an NFL pass, and he has little chance at making the Broncos’ final roster unless the injury to Simms is more severe than originally thought. 

Still, he will provide good competition for rookie Tom Brandstater as the backup quarterback and reportedly is going to be available for the final preseason game against Arizona, when the starters will likely play little, if at all.
