Broncos activate McCarthy, Alexander from practice squad

With five holes to fill on defense, the Denver Broncos have signed S Kyle McCarthy and OLB Kevin Alexander to the active roster from the team’s practice squad, Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post reports.

The team cut RB Andre Brown and OL D’Anthony Batiste to make room on the active roster. Batiste started at left tackle in Ryan Clady‘s absence throughout the preseason; Chris Clark now fills that role.
