The Broncos waived safety Ryan Murphy from the practice squad Tuesday and plan to re-sign cornerback Taurean Nixon in his place.
Nixon, a seventh-round draft pick by the Broncos in 2015, was waived Monday to clear a roster spot for receiver Marlon Browns. Nixon was on the practice squad for his first regular season in the league. He was promoted to the active roster Nov. 6, when the Broncos played the Raiders in Oakland without Aqib Talib (back) or Kayvon Webster (hamstring).
Hillman claimed. Ronnie Hillman is going back to Cali. The San Diego State alum and former Broncos running back was claimed by the Chargers off waivers from Minnesota on Tuesday.
