Menelik Watson
35-Year-Old
Free Agent
Waived from IR with settlement
The Broncos waived Watson (pectoral) from injured reserve Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Watson was expected to be a starter after signing a three-year, $18.75 million contract in 2017. He couldn't stay healthy this preseason to prove himself, so he was let go and Jared Veldheer will get the nod at right tackle in Week 1.
