ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Injuries and ineffectiveness conspired to end Randy Gregory’s short-lived tenure with the Broncos on Wednesday.
The move was not a shock, only the timing. It was thought the Broncos might hold onto him until the trade deadline on Oct. 31, using him as a situational pass rusher. But with Broncos determined to lean on young players Nik Bonitto, who took Gregory’s starting job last week, Jonathon Cooper, Thomas Incoom and eventually Baron Browning, Gregory was deemed expendable and not a fit for this regime.
Gregory began his Denver stint oddly when his opening press conference was delayed by several hours, then it was revealed he would have shoulder surgery. After a productive offseason, Gregory looked good in training camp, but it never translated during the season. His lone sack came against Washington. The tipping point arrived at Miami. In the worst defensive game in team history – 70 points allowed, 726 yards surrendered -- Gregory played poorly, never setting the edge or mounting pressure as the Dolphins passed for five touchdowns and ran for five scores.
