With neither transaction nor announcement, the Broncos added an offensive lineman in recent days.

He is Ben Garland, who had been a Broncos’ defensive tackle.

The former Air Force standout recently had his schedule rearranged so that he is now conditioning and meeting with the Broncos offensive linemen. The 6-foot-5, 275-pound Garland will settle in at guard, according to the team. Garland has the agility and quickness needed for the position.

The Broncos will hold their first organized team activity (OTA) practice on May 20.

Garland, 25, was born and raised in Grand Junction before becoming a three-year starter at defensive tackle for the Air Force Falcons. He signed with the Broncos as an undrafted rookie free agent following the 2010 draft.

After going to training camp with the Broncos that year, Garland left the team to fulfill his two-year military commitment. He returned to spend all of last season on the Broncos’ practice squad.

He is one of the few NFL players who has a second job as Garland also serves as a public affairs officer for the Colorado Air National Guard.
