After being waived by the Denver Broncos on Thursday with an injury designation, third-year linebacker Levelle Bailey (broken leg) cleared waivers on Friday and reverted to Denver's injured reserve list.
Because he is landing on IR before the initial 53-man roster is set, Bailey will be ruled out for the 2026 NFL season. There is a potential workaround, however, as the Broncos could release Bailey from IR with an injury settlement. If that happens, Bailey could join another club or return to Denver later in the season.
As it stands now, though, Bailey is currently on season-ending IR for the 2026 campaign.
