The Broncos released veteran defensive lineman Billy Winn and waived cornerback Horace Richardson on Thursday.
Winn, 30, sustained a triceps injury in the Broncos’ preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons on Aug. 1 and was placed on injured reserve. He spent the regular season rehabilitating at the Broncos’ facility.
Winn played 16 games for the Broncos in 2016 (19 tackles), but has not appeared in a regular season game since because of a serious knee injury in the team’s 2017 preseason opener at Chicago.
Richardson had a solid start to training camp for the Broncos, but was placed on injured reserve Aug.
