Aug 27 (Field Level Media) – Less than a week after signing Taylor ​Rapp, the Denver Broncos ‌on Wednesday cut the safety, but later in the day, head coach Sean Payton indicated the reason wasn’t ‌football-related ​and that Rapp ⁠could be back ⁠with the team.

“He needs a little time at home,” Payton told reporters, before adding, “I know how ​he felt being here and so I think sooner ⁠than later (Rapp will be ⁠back with the team). ​This obviously took precedence.”

The 28-year-old Rapp ​signed a reported one-year deal ‌last week, practiced Monday but missed practice Tuesday.

The seven-year veteran spent the past three seasons ⁠in Buffalo after playing his first four seasons in Los Angeles with the ⁠Rams, who ‌drafted him in ⁠the second round out of ​Washington ‌in 2019.

In 93 career ​games (72 starts), ⁠Rapp has 12 interceptions, four fumble recoveries and 488 tackles (314 solo). He won a Super Bowl with the Rams in 2021.
