Bailey Out, Murdock Steps Up | Denver News

Denver Broncos waive linebacker Levelle Bailey, who suffered a season-ending leg injury in preseason and is headed to IR. Coach Sean Payton says his return this year is uncertain. Bailey, an undrafted rookie who made the 53-man roster last year, was competing with young LBs like Karene Reid, Red Murdock, and Taurean York — all of whom now get more reps as Bailey’s absence opens up playing time. Murdock, a seventh-rounder, led the team in tackles against Atlanta and could be a breakout candidate. The Broncos face Green Bay next, and the linebacker depth chart is being reshaped in real time.
