Denver Broncos Sign Former Nebraska Linebacker Garrett Nelson

News summary

Garrett Nelson, a former Nebraska Cornhuskers outside linebacker and 2022 team captain, has signed with the Denver Broncos following the placement of rookie OLB Johnny Walker on injured reserve. Nelson, who went undrafted in 2023, has had preseason stints with the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals but has not appeared in a regular-season NFL game. He spent the 2024 and 2025 seasons with the San Antonio Brahmas of the United Football League, where he recorded notable defensive stats including tackles, sacks, and forced fumbles. At Nebraska, Nelson earned second-team All-Big Ten honors and was recognized for his aggressive run defense and physical playing style. He is expected to join the Broncos' 90-man offseason roster and compete for a spot among the linebackers. Nelson's signing adds depth to Denver's linebacker corps as they prepare for the upcoming season.
