Report: Broncos veteran DT Kyle Peko opts out of 2020 NFL season

Denver Broncos veteran defensive tackle Kyle Peko has opted to sit out the 2020 NFL season, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, citing concerns due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Peko, who signed with Denver as a college free agent in 2016, appeared in seven games for the Broncos from 2016 to 2017 and has spent time on the team’s practice squad.

With Peko figuring to be a key piece along the defensive interior, the announcement seemingly deals a blow to the Broncos defensive line depth.
