ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Dove Valley is beginning to look like a class reunion. Veteran defensive lineman Antonio Smith is the fifth player to reunite with coach Gary Kubiak in Denver.

The 12th-year pro who signed a one-year deal Thursday recorded 27 of his 44 1(backslash)2 sacks in his five seasons (2009-13) in Houston, where Denver’s new coach was in charge of the Texans from 2006-13.

Smith played in Oakland last year. He also played in Arizona from 2004-08. Overall, he’s appeared in 156 regular season games (133 starts) and eight playoff games (seven starts).
