The Denver Broncos had brought in former Cleveland Browns first round draft pick Phil Taylor in hopes that he could help strengthen the defense that was a force to be reckoned with. However, that hope was dashed when he got hurt and placed on injured reserve. The Broncos wasted no time later on down the road.
Heading into their first preseason game against the Chicago Bears, the Denver Broncos have terminated the contract of NT Phil Taylor by releasing him from the injured reserve with an injury settlement. He was placed on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury back on July 29th, a day after the Broncos began training camp.
