News

  • Past hip injury

    Darby (hip) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice session.

    Analysis: Darby played just nine defensive snaps against the Packers on Sunday after injuring his hip in the first quarter. However, it appears the injury isn't severe enough for him to miss the Jaguars' first practice of the week, and barring any setbacks, he should suit up against the Eagles on Sunday. Darby has logged 34 tackles (27 solo) and five pass breakups over eight regular-season outings.

  • Hurts hip against Green Bay

    Darby injured his hip against the Packers in Sunday's Week 8 matchup and is questionable to return, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Analysis: Darby's injury occurred in the first quarter, and he subsequently consulted with trainers on the side of the field. The veteran cornerback has been a key component of the Jaguars' secondary this season, logging at least 70 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the team's first seven contests. Montaric Brown and/or Deantre Prince could absorb Darby's snaps Sunday if he's unable to return.

  • Set to be released

    The Broncos are releasing Darby (knee) on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Darby landed on IR in mid-October after tearing his ACL and was sidelined for the remainder of the campaign. He was scheduled to have a $12.7 million cap hit, so his release will save Denver a significant amount of money. It's unclear when Darby will be healthy again, but he should garner plenty of attention in free agency if he can prove he's on track for the start of the 2023 campaign.

  • Goes on IR

    Darby (knee) was officially placed on IR on Monday, Aric DiLalla reports.

    Analysis: Darby was ruled out for the season Saturday after suffering a season-ending ACL injury in the team's loss to the Colts on Thursday. Therefore, the move to IR is simply procedural.

  • Out for season

    Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that Darby has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2022 campaign after being diagnosed with an ACL injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Darby suffered a knee injury at the end of the first half during Thursday's loss to the Colts and didn't return for the second half. He's since been diagnosed with an ACL injury and will miss the remainder of the season. Over five appearances, the veteran defensive back totaled 14 tackles, three pass defenses and one forced fumble across 264 defensive snaps. In his absence, K'Waun Williams, Damarri Mathis and Essang Bassey are all candidates for increased roles.

  • Won't return Thursday

    Darby (knee) was downgraded to out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Colts, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports

    Analysis: Darby will not return for the second half against Indianapolis after being forced out with a knee injury on the second-to-last series of the second quarter. The eighth-year cornerback recorded 12 tackles and two passes defended while playing every defensive snap over the first four weeks of the season, and he'll have an extended break before the Broncos' Monday night matchup against the Chargers in Week 6.

  • Questionable to return Thursday

    Darby (knee) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Colts, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Darby recorded two tackles before sustaining a knee injury on the Colts' final drive of the first half, though the exact nature and severity of this injury are still unclear. With the veteran sidelined for the time being, rookie Damarri Mathis has stepped in as Denver's starting cornerback opposite Patrick Surtain.

  • Back to 100 percent

    Darby said Tuesday that he's fully recovered from the chest contusion he suffered in practice last Monday, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Darby suffered the injury during a collision with wide receiver Courtland Sutton. A return to full health is good news for the Broncos, as Darby should be a key piece in Denver's secondary, starting opposite Patrick Surtain at corner.

  • Considered day-to-day

    Darby (chest) is considered day-to-day, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Darby injured his chest last Monday in a collusion with Courtland Sutton, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury and could return to practice soon. The 2015 second-round pick is expected to be an integral piece to Denver's secondary after playing at least 87 percent of the team's defensive snaps across all 11 appearances last year.

  • Suffers injury Monday

    Darby missed practice Tuesday after suffering a chest contusion Monday, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Darby is considered day-to-day, and the injury doesn't appear to be anything serious, which is good news for the Broncos. The injury happened while he was defending Courtland Sutton on a deep pass. Darby figures to be an integral piece to Denver's secondary, as last season he never played less than 87 percent of the defensive snaps in the 11 contests for which he suited up.

  • Full go in practice

    Darby has been practicing without limitations, recording the first interception of training camp, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Darby finished the 2021 campaign on IR after injuring his shoulder in Week 16. The veteran cornerback subsequently observed from the sidelines during OTAs this offseason. Darby has not recorded an interception since 2019 as a member of the Eagles' secondary. The 28-year-old could be busy this year if opposing quarterbacks shy away from throwing in the direction of second-year star Patrick Surtain. If this is the case, Darby will have the opportunity to get back on track this season for what…read more

  • Just observing

    Darby (shoulder) did not participate in OTAs on Monday, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Darby was present and observed from the sidelines, so it's possible he could participate in OTAs at some point before they wrap up. Darby finished last season on IR after injuring his shoulder Week 16 against the Bears.

  • Lands on injured reserve

    Darby (shoulder) was placed on IR on Friday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Darby had already been ruled out for Week 18 against the Chiefs. Darby's absence should create extra opportunity for Kyle Fuller.

  • Remains out in Week 18

    Darby (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Kansas City, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Darby was knocked out of the Broncos' Week 16 loss to the Bears with a shoulder injury and will be forced to miss a second consecutive game to close out the regular season. Kyle Fuller should see increased run once again Saturday, while Darby finishes the 2021 campaign with 53 tackles (42 solo) and six pass defenses across 11 appearances.

  • Sidelined by shoulder issue

    Darby (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Darby suffered a shoulder injury in Denver's Week 16 loss to the Bears. He was able to return to log a limited practice session Friday, though that won't be enough for him to take the field. Kyle Fuller should be in line for an increased role in Darby's absence.

  • Records eight tackles

    Darby recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Darby's eight total tackles were second only to Malik Reed, who finished with nine tackles in the game. The veteran cornerback is having a solid season, but he has yet to record an interception in the six games he has played. Heading into Denver's Week 11 bye, Darby has 37 total tackles on the season. The 27-year-old will look to build upon his start when the Broncos face off against the Chargers on Nov. 28.

  • Records eight tackles in loss

    Darby recorded eight tackles in Thursday's 17-14 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Darby's eight tackles were second only to safety Kareem Jackson, who finished with nine tackles in the contest. The 27-year-old cornerback has now totaled 19 tackles thus far in the 2021 campaign while missing four games with a hamstring injury. Darby can be productive for fantasy purposes in this Denver defense, and he'll look to build off this performance when the Broncos host Washington in Week 8.

  • Back as full participant

    Darby (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Darby's hamstring injury has kept him sidelined since Week 1, but it looks like he's now on track to make his return to the field Sunday versus Las Vegas. Once back to 100 percent form, the veteran cornerback should resume handling an every-down role in Denver's secondary.

  • Looking to make return in Week 6

    Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that he hopes Darby (hamstring) will be able to play in Week 6, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Fangio said Darby was activated off injured reserve Saturday because there were questions about whether Patrick Surtain would be available. With Surtain playing, Fangio elected to give Darby another week to get his conditioning back before throwing him into game action. The seven-year veteran played 59 defensive snaps and recorded six tackles and one pass deflection in Week 1 and will likely garner a similar workload when he returns to action.

  • Inactive against Steelers

    Darby (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Darby was activated from injured reserve Saturday but that wasn't enough to include him on the roster for Sunday's tilt. He hasn't played since Week 1 when he made six tackles and deflected a pass against the Giants, and his next chance to step on the gridiron will be on Oct. 17 against the Raiders at home.

  • Activated from IR

    Darby was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: The cornerback last played Week 1 versus the Giants, making six tackles and deflecting a pass before suffering a hamstring injury. Darby will look to fortify the Broncos' secondary in their Week 5 matchup with the Steelers.

  • Receives return designation

    Darby (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Darby will return to practice this week as expected and is eligible to return from injured reserve for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh. The 27-year-old has a 21-day window to practice and will be activated before reverting to the shelf for the rest of 2021.

  • Slated to practice this week

    Coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that Darby (hamstring) will be back at practice this week, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Darby has been on injured reserve since he suffered a hamstring injury in the season opener against Giants, but he could be back on the field for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against Pittsburgh. If the 27-year-old is cleared to return, he could be in line for an increased role after Patrick Surtain (chest) was banged up last week.

  • MRI results show small tear

    Coach Vic Fangio said Darby (hamstring) went for an MRI on Monday, which revealed a small tear, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: The Broncos already placed Darby on IR, but he is likely to be sidelined longer than the minimum three weeks. Rookie first-round pick Patrick Surtain is expected to step into the starting role in Darby's absence.

  • Placed on IR

    The Broncos placed Darby (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Darby injured his hamstring on the last series of Sunday's contest against the Giants. He will be forced to miss at least three weeks after the move but is likely to be sidelined longer. Rookie first-round pick Patrick Surtain is expected to step into the starting role in Darby's absence.

  • Tallies six tackles in win

    Darby recorded six tackles and allowed six receptions on nine targets in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Darby played on 100% of Denver's defensive snaps and defended one pass in the contest. The veteran cornerback's debut as a Bronco was solid, and he will likely be a productive member of a Denver defense that projects to have a strong 2021 campaign. Next up for Darby is a favorable matchup against the Jaguars in Week 2.

  • Gets big deal in Denver

    The Broncos signed Darby to a three-year, $30 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Darby is cashing in after having played on a one-year, $3 million contract in Washington last season. He finally stayed healthy for a full 16-game slate in 2020, and his contract is an indication that the Broncos aren't too worried about the health concerns that plagued Darby earlier in his career. He's primed to occupy one of the team's outside starting cornerback spots next season.

  • Stays healthy all season

    Darby was a 16-game starter in 2020, recording 55 tackles (43 solo), 16 pass defenses and a fumble recovery on 1,001 defensive snaps.

    Analysis: Darby was fifth in the league in PDs, yet didn't record a single interception. PFF graded him at No. 31 out of 122 qualified cornerbacks, 13 spots ahead of teammate Kendall Fuller. Washington more than got its money's worth on a one-year, $3 million contract, so it'll likely be far more expensive if the team wants to keep Darby around for 2021 and beyond. Granted, other franchises may have some concerns about his medical history, as the 27-year-old cornerback played just 28 games in his three…read more

  • Back to work Thursday

    Darby (illness) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Darby missed Wednesday's practice session with a non-COVID-19 related illness, so the fact that he returned so quickly is a positive sign. Now that the veteran appears healthy, he'll assume his usual starting role at cornerback, tasked with slowing down the dangerous Dallas receiving corps Sunday.

    Published: Thu, Oct 22 at 3:17pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Darby (illness) didn't practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN NFL Nation reports.

    Analysis: Darby will hope to feel better as the week progresses, as his status come Sunday will be key against a Dallas receiving corps that features the fearsome trio of Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and CeeDee Lamb. If the cornerback's able to return to practice in the coming days, there's a good chance that he'll be able to play.

  • Staying in NFC East

    Darby (hip) inked a one-year, $4 million deal with the Redskins on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Darby battled injuries for the Eagles last season, suiting up in 11 games as a starter, racking up 37 tackles (34 solo), two interceptions and 11 pass breakups. The 26-year-old missed the final two games of 2019 with a hip strain, and his timetable to return remains unclear. New head coach Ron Rivera has long been a fan of Darby, so he likely will battle for the starting cornerback spot that was vacated when the team traded Quinton Dunbar (hamstring) to Seattle.

  • Placed on injured reserve

    Darby (hip) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Darby was already scheduled to miss a few weeks after aggravating the hip strain he originally suffered Week 15. His season is now over as he won't be eligible to return for the playoffs. The Florida State product finishes the year with 37 tackles (34 solo), two interceptions and 11 pass breakups in 11 games.

  • Out with hip strain

    Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Darby (hip) will be sidelined Week 17, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old sustained the hip injury last week against the Redskins and aggravated the injury during Sunday's win over the Cowboys. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Darby is dealing with a hip strain and is expected to miss a few weeks. Rasul Douglas will step into the starting role at cornerback for Philadelphia.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Heads to locker room

    Darby (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Darby first picked up the hip injury when he exited last week's game against Washington and looks to have aggravated it Sunday. He walked to the locker room under his own power to receive extra treatment, however, which was a positive sign for the injury. As long as Darby is sidelined, Rasul Douglas and Avonte Maddox would be in line to see an increased snap count.

    Published: Sun, Dec 22 at 2:20pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • No injury tag for Sunday

    Darby (hip) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Dallas.

    Analysis: Darby upgraded to a full practice Friday after two limited sessions this week. His return will boost the Eagles' secondary with the NFC East title on the line.

    Published: Fri, Dec 20 at 1:50pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Works as limited participant

    Darby (hip) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Darby came out of Sunday's win over the Redskins with "lower body issues" per coach Doug Pederson, but the injury report indicates he's dealing with a hip flexor injury. Regardless, the 25-year-old's limited participation to start the week is a good sign for his Week 16 availability.

  • Battling lower body injuries

    Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Darby is nursing "lower body issues," Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

    Analysis: Darby exited Sunday's win over Washington in the third quarter for reasons that appear to have been related to injury. He was initially listed as questionable for the contest due to a hip flexor issue. If the 25-year-old were forced to miss any time, Avonte Maddox and Rasul Douglas would be candidates to play expanded roles on defense.

  • Ready to go

    Darby (hip) is active for Sunday's contest against Washington.

    Analysis: Darby was initially considered questionable for Sunday's divisional tilt, but he's set to draw his usual start at cornerback. The 25-year-old has handled at least 90 percent of snaps on defense for six consecutive contests.

  • Set to play Sunday

    Darby (hip) is expected to play Sunday at Washington, Derrick Gunn of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Darby was a late addition to the injury report this week and is considered questionable, but it appears he'll be able to suit up Sunday. The 25-year-old played every defensive snap Week 14 for the first time this season, and he's missed only a handful of defensive snaps each game since returning from the hamstring injury Week 8.

  • Questionable for Week 15

    Darby (hip) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt in Washington.

    Analysis: Darby was limited in Friday's practice due to a hip flexor injury. The 25-year-old appears to be trending toward availability for Sunday's game against the Redskins, but if he were limited or forced to miss any time, Avonte Maddox and Rasul Douglas would likely see increased snaps on defense.

  • First INT since Week 2

    Darby posted three solo tackles, a pass breakup and an interception in Sunday's 37-31 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Darby had a difficult time covering DeVante Parker in this contest, which lines up with his course for the season, as he's allowed 8.1 yards per target compared to 6.4 last year. However, the 25-year-old still managed to notch his first interception since Week 2. Darby will look to add another against Daniel Jones and the Giants in Week 14.
