The Broncos waived Charles on Friday, Ben Swanson of the team's official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Charles was picked up by the team earlier in the week, but a need for pass-rushing depth has led to his quick departure. The 28-year-old will could potentially end up on the Broncos' practice squad if he clears waivers.

Charles signed with the Broncos on Tuesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Charles spent time with the Broncos during the preseason, but he last played in the NFL during the 2018 campaign, catching three passes for 23 yards over 13 games with the Browns. The 28-year-old was brought in to fill the roster spot left by placing fullback Andy Janovich (elbow) on IR. Traditionally a tight end, Charles also has proved his capability to play fullback, so he figures to back up Andrew Beck at the position.

The Broncos signed Charles on Wednesday, Zac Stevens of BSNDenver.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Charles was let go by Cleveland just 10 days ago but found a new home in the AFC on Wednesday. His signing will boost the depth at the tight end position, considering the team just placed Bug Howard (ankle) on IR. The 28-year-old hauled in just three passes on five targets for 23 yards last season.

Cleveland waived Charles on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

In 13 games with the Browns last season, Charles brought in three receptions on five targets for 23 yards while recording 174 snaps on offense and 245 snaps on special teams. Cleveland originally declined to tender the 28-year-old a contract for 2019, and instead re-signed him at a lower price in early April. In a corresponding move, the Browns used the vacant roster spot to sign fellow tight end Rico Gathers, who is still facing a one-game suspension.

Charles re-signed with the Browns on Tuesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Browns will bring Charles back at a lower price after they declined to extend him a tender. The 28-year-old is a depth tight end with the versatility to line up as a fullback or H-back, though he played more snaps on special teams (265) than offense (173) in 2018.

Charles was non-tendered by the Browns and will become an unrestricted free agent, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Charles finished the 2018 season on injured reserve due to an ankle/foot injury and had three receptions for 23 yards in 13 games. The 28-year-old has played with four teams over his five seasons in the league and begins 2019 back in free agency.

Charles (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Charles was primarily used on special teams throughout the 2018 campaign, but his season will be shortened to 13 games due to a foot injury. The reserve tight end caught three passes for 23 yards on five targets in his first year with the Browns.

Charles (ankle) was unable to take the practice field Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing his second straight practice Wednesday, Charles' status for Saturday's game against the Broncos is beginning to look bleaker. A clearer picture should arrive when the team releases its injury report Thursday.

Charles (ankle) isn't participating in Tuesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Charles has seen snaps in every game in 2018 for the Browns and it's unclear when he picked up the ankle injury. The Georgia product has only caught three passes for 23 yards this season, so he likely won't have fantasy value even if he does suit up in Sunday's game.

Charles signed a contract with the Browns on Monday, the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Charles, who was a fourth-round selection by the Bengals in 2012, appeared in five games with the Chiefs last season when he hauled in two passes for 53 yards on two targets. He'll add depth at tight end during training camp, as the team needed another body at the position following Seth DeValve's recent thigh injury.
