Mike Purcell: Let go by Denver
The Broncos released Purcell on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Purcell underwent knee surgery during the offseason and began training camp on the active/non-football injury list. However, he passed his physical last week and was activated by Denver. The 32-year-old couldn't secure a spot on the 53-man roster but will seek out opportunities elsewhere now that he's healthy.

Broncos' Mike Purcell: Passes physical, off NFI list
Purcell (knee) passed his physical and was activated from the active/non-football injury list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Purcell began training camp on the active/non-football injury list while rehabbing from offseason knee surgery, but it appears he's getting close to full strength with the regular season just over two weeks away. Despite batting the lingering knee issue, Purcell appeared in all 17 games last year and figures to garner a similar rotational role in 2023.

Broncos' Mike Purcell: Lands on NFI list
Purcell (knee) was placed on the active/non-football injury list Sunday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Purcell played through a knee injury last season and ended up undergoing minor offseason surgery to repair it. However, it appears the 32-year-old is still recovering from the procedure, which also forced him to miss OTAs earlier this spring. He will be eligible to return once he can pass a physical.

Broncos' Mike Purcell: Sitting out OTAs
Purcell is being held out of OTAs as he recovers from minor offseason knee surgery, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Purcell appeared in all 17 games for the Broncos last season, so it's unlikely his offseason procedure will cause him to miss much time, although it's not yet clear if he'll be available at the start of training camp. When healthy, Purcell should play a significant role in the team's defensive line rotation.
