Broncos Place Baron Browning On Reserve/PUP List, Trim Roster To 53

August 29th, 2023 at 10:00pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Broncos will join other teams in using short-term IR to create roster spots for veterans they cut Tuesday. The team also needed to use its reserve/PUP list. Here is how Denver moved down to the 53-man limit:

Released:

Waived:

RB Tyler Badie
WR Michael Bandy
ILB Seth Benson
G Henry Byrd
WR Marquez Callaway
QB Ben DiNucci
CB Art Green
WR Taylor Grimes
WR Josh Hammond
OLB Marcus Haynes
CB Faion Hicks
TE Tommy Hudson
DE Jordan Jackson
T Demontrey Jacobs
RB Tony Jones Jr.
CB Devon Key
DT Tomasi Laulile
DT PJ Mustipher
DT Haggai Chisom Ndubusi
OLB Aaron Patrick
G William Sherman
WR Montrell Washington

Waived/injured:

OLB Chris Allen

Placed on reserve/PUP list:

OLB Baron Browning

Browning suffered a meniscus injury this offseason and underwent surgery in June. This obviously deals a blow to Browning’s development, seeing as the converted off-ball linebacker has yet to play a full season at his second NFL position, and Denver’s edge depth. Randy Gregory and Frank Clark lead the way at the position; both are going into their age-30 seasons. The Broncos have seen Gregory, Von Miller and Bradley Chubb miss substantial time in recent years. They will hope Browning, who showed promise opposite Chubb at points last year, can return when eligible.

The Broncos did not place Jerry Jeudy on IR, keeping their No. 1 receiver available once his hamstring heals. This points to the team viewing Jeudy as likely to come back during the season’s first four weeks. Jeudy suffered a hamstring injury late last week; the malady is expected to sideline him for “several weeks.” The team is expected to re-sign Humphrey once it reorganizes its roster, 9News’ Mike Klis notes.

Although Purcell joined Humphrey as a cut, Klis adds the veteran nose tackle is set to come back. Ditto Moreau, as K’Waun Williams is set to head to IR — a designation that will cost the veteran slot cornerback at least four games — upon undergoing ankle surgery. The Broncos kept UDFAs Elijah Garcia, a defensive lineman, and Jaleel McLaughlin, a running back, after strong preseason outings. McLaughlin is the NCAA all-levels rushing kingpin, having amassed 8,161 yards while at Notre Dame College and Youngstown State — Division II and Division I-FCS programs, respectively, in Ohio. He will be the team’s third-string running back — behind Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine.

Minor NFL Transactions: 7/28/23

July 28th, 2023 at 7:30pm CST by Ely Allen

Here are today’s minor moves from around the league as we head into the weekend:

Baltimore Ravens

Released with NFI designation: CB Trayvon Mullen

Buffalo Bills

Signed: CB Kyron Brown, WR Andy Isabella
Waived/injured: CB Cameron Dantzler
Waived: WR Jalen Wayne

Carolina Panthers

Waived: RB Tiyon Evans

Denver Broncos

Activated from PUP: WR Kendall Hinton
Signed: WR Michael Bandy
Waived: WR Nick Williams

Detroit Lions

Signed: WR Trey Quinn
Waived/injured: WR Tom Kennedy

Green Bay Packers

Waived: OLB Jonathan Garvin

Houston Texans

Waived: OL Dylan Deatherage

Los Angeles Chargers

Waived: LB Tyreek Maddox-Williams

Los Angeles Rams

Waived/injured: LB Sterling Weatherford

New England Patriots

Activated from PUP: DE DaMarcus Mitchell

New York Jets

Waived from IR with injury settlement: WR Diontae Spencer

Seattle Seahawks

Signed: RB Wayne Taulapapa
Waived: CB Montrae Braswell

Tennessee Titans

Waived: OL James Empey

Mullen was placed on the NFI list two days ago. Apparently, his failure to disclose the non-football injury led to his release. Claimed off of waivers early into the offseason this year, Mullen has spent a good amount of time in Baltimore but has yet to see any game time. The Ravens hoped he might add some depth to their secondary, but with today’s transaction, the former second-round pick hits the free agent market.

Dantzler, a former third-round pick in Minnesota, also finds himself available in free agency after a short stint with the Bills. After signing with his second team of the offseason last month, Dantzler was waived with an injury designation.
