Patrick Murtagh: Everything you need to know

The Broncos signed Murtagh to their practice squad Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports. 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. 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.
