The Broncos signed Murtagh to their practice squad Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Denver received an international practice player exemption for Murtagh, who played Australian Rules Football before working with the Jaguars last season. He's a little bit skinny by the standards of an NFL tight end, so if he ever does contribute during the regular season, it may need to be as a pass catcher.

Murtagh was waived by the Jaguars on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The tight end appears to be healthy again since he was let go with no injury designation. Murtagh signed with the Jags in April 2024 through the NFL's International Player Pathway Program and then broke his ankle during a training camp goal-line drill. The former track athlete and Australian rules football player will now have to look elsewhere for his next NFL opportunity.

Murtagh suffered a broken right ankle during Jacksonville's live goal-line drills Friday, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of the 6-foot-6 tight end's ankle break remains unclear, but it was also reported that his ankle needed to be snapped back into place. Murtagh signed with the Jaguars in April through the NFL's International Player Pathway Program, but this injury could hurt his chance of getting a roster spot with the team.
