The Broncos do not intend to re-sign Nelson (biceps) for 2020, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson appeared in just seven contests in 2019, notching 10 tackles (four solo), before suffering a season-ending torn bicep. Now set to become an unrestricted free agent in March, he'll focus his attention on making a full recovery before looking to earn a reserve role elsewhere in the league.

The Broncos placed Nelson (biceps) on injured reserve Friday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson suffered a torn bicep during Week 8's loss to the Colts, the second such injury of his career. He underwent surgery to address the issue Wednesday, and he'll now turn his full attention towards recovering in time for the 2020 season. Across seven games this season, Nelson notched 10 tackles (four solo) and played 95 snaps on special teams.

Nelson suffered a torn bicep in Sunday's loss to the Colts and is out for the season, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the second time Nelson has suffered a torn bicep in his career, as he injured his other arm in 2017, and was forced to miss the second half of the season. Per Jhabvala, Nelson is scheduled to have surgery Wednesday, effectively ending his season. Josey Jewell and Joseph Jones are the only healthy depth linebackers left on the roster currently.

Nelson signed with the Broncos on Monday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson was drafted by the Broncos out of Oklahoma in 2014 and was a core special-teams contributor, but he left in free agency with the hope of getting more time on defense. That didn't work out as he bounced around in 2018, eventually playing in one game for the Falcons. He recorded 12 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble in the preseason for Tampa Bay and should get some opportunities at inside linebacker, where Denver has been shaky behind starters Josey Jewell and Todd Davis (calf).

Nelson was released by Tampa Bay on Friday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson has played in just six games over the last two seasons and was competing for a depth linebacker role in Tampa Bay. He becomes a free agent now that he's been released.

Nelson logged a tackle and forced a fumble in Friday's preseason game against the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson forced the fumble on a punt return, but Miami recovered and managed to return 26 yards. In all, he saw 24 defensive snaps and five on special teams. The 27-year-old seems over the knee issue that kept him out of practice earlier in the week.

Nelson hasn't been able to practice due to a knee injury, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear as to when Nelson suffered the injury. It remains to be seen whether he'll be cleared to suit up for Friday night's preseason matchup with the Dolphins.

Nelson signed a reserve/future contract with the Buccaneers on Thursday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson played one game with the Falcons in 2018, logging 18 snaps on special teams without a defensive statistic, before parting ways with the team. The 26-year-old spent the first four seasons of his career with the Broncos, and will now attempt to carve out a depth role in Tampa Bay.

Nelson (calf) and the Falcons came to terms on an injury settlement Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson spent four seasons with the Broncos before joining the Eagles. He has logged six starts in 53 games during his career. During that time he recorded 95 tackles, six pass defenses, one sack, and one fumble recover. He will now look be free to look for a new opportunity once his health allows it.

Nelson (calf) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Saints, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson suited up for just one game this season but didn't play a defensive snap. His absence will mainly hurt the team's depth, as Kemal Ishmael is the only healthy reserve linebacker.
