Broncos waive Mr. Irrelevant, LB Red Murdock

Broncos waived LB Red Murdock.

Per 9NEWS’ Mike Klis, the Broncos will sign Murdock to their practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers. Murdock made a name for himself as a voluminous tackler and fumble-forcer at Buffalo, leading the MAC twice and the FBS once in the latter category.

Broncos agreed to terms with LB Red Murdock on a four-year, $4.5 million contract.

Mr. Irrelevant gets a $122,600 signing bonus as he becomes the first of seven Denver draft picks to sign his rookie contract. Rookies report to mimi-camp in Denver this weekend.
Red Murdock

DEN Linebacker

Broncos selected Buffalo LB Red Murdock with the No. 257 and final pick of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Murdock (6'2/232), 22, is a tackling machine with a penchant for forcing fumbles. He led the MAC in forced fumbles in 2023 (four), the FBS in 2024 (seven) and the MAC again in 2025 (six). His 2024 sum is a school record. Murdock earned first-team All-MAC honors in each of the last two seasons and was a second-team All-American in 2025. He totaled 156 tackles, 16.5 TFLs, two sacks, two passes defended and one interception in 2024, and 142 tackles, 13.5 TFLs, five sacks and one pass defended in 2025. His 2025 tackle total also led the MAC. As the literal final pick of the draft, Murdock will undoubtedly start out on special teams in training camp, but if he can make the 2026 53-man roster, he could eventually emerge as a starting option over the next 2-3 years.

The Athletic’s James Boyd reports Alec Pierce (heel) is no longer wearing a cast but is not close to a return.

Boyd said he “didn’t get the sense” that Pierce is close to a return. Pierce went on injured reserve with a heel injury after Week 2 and wore a cast on his left ankle/heel while rehabbing. It’s a sign of progress for Pierce, who will have his first chance to come back in the Colts’ Week 7 game against the Vikings.

Davis Allen (foot) did not practice Wednesday.

Allen is dealing with a foot injury and is listed as a DNP on the Rams’ estimated practice report. Fellow tight end Colby Parkinson (shoulder) was listed as limited, though he has been dealing with the shoulder injury for a few weeks now and the Rams are likely managing his workload. Parkinson is trending to play. Allen’s potential absence may lead to the Rams activating rookie Max Klare to play alongside Parkinson and fantasy streaming option Tyler Higbee in Week 6.

Ashton Jeanty (foot) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.

Jeanty’s previous ankle designation was removed from the injury report and he was a full practice participant on Wednesday. His practice participation lines up with Raiders coach Klint Kubiak saying the 22-year-old running back was starting to “feel a lot better.” Though there were rumors of the Raiders resting Jeanty for a week, he is trending to play in Week 6 against the Bills.

Jalen Nailor (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.

Nailor suffered a concussion in the Raiders’ Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, missing Week 5 against the Patriots while still in the protocol. He starts out the week not practicing, indicating he is not close to clearing protocol. Though he still has a chance to play this week, Nailor does not need to be stashed for fantasy purposes amid a murky wide receiver corps.

Oliver was listed as a non-participant in the Bills’ Wednesday walk-through report. He suffered a knee injury in the Bills’ Week 4 loss to the Patriots and avoided long-term injury, though he has yet to see the practice field. Bills fans should stay tuned to his practice status the rest of the week; Oliver will need some level of participation before the Bills can consider making him active for Week 6.

Smith was already reported to be working off to the side on Wednesday, but he now adds a toe injury to his existing hamstring injury on the official practice report. Given he is not practicing yet and a new injury is added to his designation, Smith is currently trending in the wrong direction for Week 6 against the Panthers.
