Denver Broncos waive inside linebacker Taurean York
The Denver Broncos have waived inside linebacker Taurean York, according to Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette. Robert York, Taurean's father, confirmed that the team is waiving him but wants him on the practice squad. Taurean York signed with Denver as an undrafted free agent following the 2026 NFL Draft. In 2025, he showcased strong performances, leading the Aggies with 73 tackles, adding 7.5 tackles for loss, recording a sack, and securing three pass breakups.
He even earned third-team All-SEC honors and was named a captain. However, his size posed a challenge in the NFL. Despite his talent, undersized stature was a concern, as he lacks the height, length, and size typically seen in NFL linebackers. Nonetheless, he impressed during training camp and is expected to secure a spot on the 16-man practice squad.
