Kyle Peko is a 305-pound, second-year nose tackle from Oregon State University who was signed by the Broncos in May of 2016 as a college free agent. He's played on the team's practice squad both years, seeing action in one game in 2016 and another -- the team's against Dallas -- this season.

Domata Peko was signed prior to this season, his 12th, from the Cincinnati Bengals.
