Broncos safety Nick Ferguson has been a surprise full participant in OTAs this week after tearing his meniscus last season.

Ferguson was reportedly limping so badly after the surgery that teammates started calling him Barbaro and put a picture of the horse with Ferguson’s jersey number in the locker room. “Fortunately, I didn’t go to the glue factory,” Ferguson joked. “I’m still around, live and kicking and overcoming my leg injury.”

Hamza Abdullah has replaced veteran Nick Ferguson as the Broncos’ strong safety.

Speed and energy are apparently the primary reasons why the change was made, with the younger Abdullah having fresher legs than the 33-year-old Ferguson.

Dominique Barber has taken some reps with the first-team defense at Texans Organized Team Activities.

He’s currently behind Nick Ferguson on the depth chart, but Ferguson is 34 and couldn’t keep the job last year. Barber should beat him out in August.

Dominique Barber was promoted to the Texans’ first-team defense at strong safety during Tuesday’s practice.

Coach Gary Kubiak wouldn’t call it permanent, but it most likely is. Incumbent Nick Ferguson lacks Barber’s run-stopping and big-play ability. Ideally, the 34-year-old Ferguson will be a third safety and spot starter in case of injury.
