The former fourth-round selection was suspended last year for gambling, but the State of Colorado and Arapahoe County will not be filing gambling charges against the Broncos defensive lineman. He had his hearing with the league today and it sounds like Payton believes Uwazurike will be reinstated and able to rejoin the team shortly.
