The Broncos officially moved Danny Trevathan to the injured reserve list today, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com (via Twitter). The team also released tight end Dominique Jones.
Trevathan spent eight weeks on the IR-DTR list before playing his final game on Sunday against the Chargers. The linebacker was Denver’s leading tackler in 2013, but he registered just 11 tackles across three games for the Broncos this season thanks to a left medial tibial impaction fracture. Now he’ll shift his attention to 2015, where he’ll look to have a repeat of his 100+ tackle season. Trevathan is set to earn $660K in 2015, the final year of his current deal.
Jones appeared in his first game with the Broncos on Sunday against the Chargers after competing on the team’s practice squad for 13 weeks. He saw just four snaps in his Denver debut.
