No one is truly safe in the NFL, even if its the holiday season.
The Denver Broncos announced on Tuesday that it has released former Alabama defensive back Levi Wallace as it shifted running back Blake Watson back to the active roster.
“It’s never an easy decision, Broncos head coach Sean Payton said following Wallace’s release. “Hopefully, we’ll see how it goes and we’re able to get him back (on the practice squad).”
It ultimately came down to a roster management situation for a Broncos team that is vying for a wildcard spot in the AFC playoffs.
Wallace played in 13 games with two starts for Denver this year recording 28 total tackles and two pass deflections in his seventh season in the NFL.
After playing at Alabama from 2014-17, helping the Crimson Tide with two national titles he entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent where he would eventually begin his career with the Buffalo Bills.
After playing four seasons with Buffalo where he recorded 52 total starts, Wallace would sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers where he would appear in a total of 31 games with 18 starts over the course of two seasons.
