Broncos stand-out safety David Bruton has been placed on injured reserve after fracturing his leg in Sunday’s match-up against the Steelers. Bruton played over 70 plays with the fracture. “I thought it was a bruise,” Bruton told the media. “There was a sharp pain initially and it just got worse and worse throughout the game.”
The Broncos signed safety Shaun Prater to fill that spot on the roster. Prater (5-10, 190 pounds) was drafted by the Bengals in 2012 and has since had stints with the Vikings, the Colts, and the Eagles in 2013 where he started three games.
