Broncos place OL Matt Peart, LB Garret Wallow on IR

Details
14 October 2025

The Broncos officially signed defensive back J.T. Gray from the Ravens' practice squad, and they promoted offensive guard Calvin Throckmorton to the active roster, the team announced Tuesday.

In corresponding moves, the Broncos placed offensive lineman Matt Peart (knee) and linebacker Garret Wallow (hamstring) on injured reserve.

The Broncos also announced they signed offensive lineman Karsen Barnhart and defensive end Garrett Nelson to their practice squad and placed wide receiver Thayer Thomas on the practice squad injury list.

Gray's signing, which was previously reported, reunites him with Broncos head coach Sean Payton and special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi. After spending his first seven NFL seasons with the Saints, Gray joined the Ravens' practice squad in September.

Throckmorton, a fifth-year player, has appeared in 49 games with 27 starts since entering the league in 2021. He spent most of the first six weeks of the season on Denver's practice squad before being elevated for the Broncos' Week 6 game against the Jets.

Peart played all 60 snaps against the Jets but underwent medical testing upon the team's return to Denver. It marks the second consecutive week the Broncos have placed their starting left guard on injured reserve, with Peart following Ben Powers (biceps).

Wallow, who injured his hamstring against the Jets, played 90 special teams snaps this season. That is 63 percent of the team's special teams snaps. He has not played a defensive snap.

Video of fight at Bears-Commanders highlights downside of attending games

Details
14 October 2025

Thousands routinely flock to attend NFL games, despite the expense and the widespread availability of all games on TV, in ultra-high definition.

Beyond that, there's a chance of ending up in an altercation with someone who has had too much beer and/or who is too big of an asshole.

Video is circulating from a fight on Monday night at the Bears-Commanders game. While it's not the worst thing that could happen at the worst venue in the league, the risk of getting injured in a fight is something that anyone who goes to an NFL game assumes.

It's fair to ask why there isn't a greater security presence in place to intervene when fights happen. We've seen many incidents like this over the years. The teams are on notice of the possibility that folks who have been buying overpriced beer in the stadium (and/or drinking whatever they brought to the tailgate) will start trouble. Because trouble often starts.

Some would say that whoever buys a ticket to the games knows the risk. That if you get injured or worse maybe it just wasn't your day. Others would say there's a far greater responsibility for those who collect big money from the public in exchange for the ability to watch a football game in person.

Frankly, based on videos like the one from last night, it's amazing so many people still go.

Cowboys waive WR Jalen Cropper

Details
14 October 2025

The Cowboys waived wide receiver Jalen Cropper on Tuesday, according to the NFL's personnel notice.

Cropper could re-sign with the team's practice squad.

The Cowboys have wide receiver Jonathan Mingo and cornerback Caelen Carson ready to be activated back to the active roster from injured reserve. They also expect to see the return of wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and KaVontae Turpin this week after Lamb missed three games and Turpin two with injuries.

Cropper, 24, has played three games this season, seeing action on eight offensive snaps and 22 on special teams. He returned three punts and two kickoffs in place of Turpin.

Cropper was on the Cowboys' practice squad in 2023 and 2024 but did not appear in a regular-season game.
