ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Kenny Anunike
To fill Anunike's spot on the 90-man roster, the Broncos brought back safety Ryan Murphy, an Oregon State product who spent the 2015 season on the practice squad.
The move brings a frustrating end to a star-crossed 27 months for Anunike in which he played three regular-season games, but saw both of his two previous seasons end on injured reserve because of an elbow injury in 2014 and a knee injury a year later.
He had brief chances to flash his promise, most prominently the preseason opener at Seattle last year, where he racked up eight tackles, a sack and a forced fumble.
