SAN FRANCISCO — Broncos practice-squad safety Ryan Murphy was questioned Tuesday night about his involvement with a prostitution sting in San Jose, Calif.
According to Sgt. James Jensen of the Santa Clara Sheriff's Office, the incident occurred at a Motel 6 off Brokaw Road near San Jose International Airport at about 5 p.m.
Jensen confirmed Murphy was detained but not arrested after it was determined he was not involved with the sting.
The Broncos, however, still took action.
"Although practice-squad safety Ryan Murphy was not cited by police, we decided it was best for the team if we continued our preparations for Super Bowl 50 without him," coach Gary Kubiak said via a statement Tuesday night.
