Top Mike Purcell News

  • Mike Purcell: Hangs up cleats

    Purcell announced his retirement from the NFL on Tuesday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Purcell was a free agent for the entire 2024 season despite receiving interest from teams in need of a defensive tackle. He went undrafted after spending four college seasons in Wyoming and signed with the 49ers in April of 2013. He played in eight NFL seasons, with his last five taking place in Denver, where he started in 37 of 65 games and registered 166 tackles (87 solo), including 2.5 sacks, four pass defenses and three fumble recoveries.

  • Broncos' Mike Purcell: Playing Sunday

    Purcell (ribs) will play in Sunday's game against the Jets, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    The backup nose tackle missed the Broncos' Week 4 win over the Bears after suffering his injury during the team's Week 3 loss to the Dolphins. Purcell has two tackles in the three games in which he's played.

  • Broncos' Mike Purcell: Out Sunday

    Purcell (ribs) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.

    The 32-year-old missed the entire week of practice after suffering a rib injury during Denver's Week 3 loss to Miami, so it's no surprise he's been ruled out this Sunday. Purcell is listed as the team's backup nose tackle and he's only recorded two total tackles through three games, making this a relatively small loss for the Broncos' defense.

  • Broncos' Mike Purcell: Ready to roll for Week 3

    Purcell (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against Miami.

    Purcell didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday before logging a limited session Friday, so it's surprising to see the veteran cleared to suit up. He played a rotational role during the first two games of the campaign and figures to see around 20 defensive snaps versus the Dolphins.

  • Broncos' Mike Purcell: Rejoins Denver

    Purcell signed with the Broncos on Thursday after being released by the team on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    The move coincides with cornerback K'Waun Williams, safety P.J. Locke and tackle Alex Palczewski all being placed on injured reserve. Purcell played in all 17 games last season for the Broncos, registering 45 tackles (21 solo) and 1.5 sacks.

  • Mike Purcell: Let go by Denver

    The Broncos released Purcell on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Purcell underwent knee surgery during the offseason and began training camp on the active/non-football injury list. However, he passed his physical last week and was activated by Denver. The 32-year-old couldn't secure a spot on the 53-man roster but will seek out opportunities elsewhere now that he's healthy.

  • Broncos' Mike Purcell: Passes physical, off NFI list

    Purcell (knee) passed his physical and was activated from the active/non-football injury list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Purcell began training camp on the active/non-football injury list while rehabbing from offseason knee surgery, but it appears he's getting close to full strength with the regular season just over two weeks away. Despite batting the lingering knee issue, Purcell appeared in all 17 games last year and figures to garner a similar rotational role in 2023.
