Broncos sign Ryan Murphy to practice squad, release Deandre Coleman

The Broncos on Tuesday announced they signed safety Ryan Murphy to their practice and released defensive tackle Deandre Coleman to clear a roster spot.

Murphy, a rookie out of Oregon State, was a seventh-round pick (No. 248) in the draft by the Seahawks but was waived Sept. 5 when Seattle pared its training camp roster to the final 53.

The 6-foot-3, 214-pound Murphy played four seasons at Oregon State, totaling 235 tackles (139 solo), 1.5 sacks and seven interceptions. He also averged 22.7 yards on 13 returns last season, including a 97-yard touchdown return against Southern California.
