Broncos host 4 linebackers for tryouts after 2 injuries at position
In addition to bringing in three wide receivers for workouts on Tuesday, the Denver Broncos also hosted four linebackers, according to the NFL's transaction wire. After losing Alex Singleton (thumb) and Drew Sanders (foot) in a three-day span, the Broncos took a look at linebackers Krys Barnes (27), Garret Wallow (26), Anthony Hines (26) and Jailin Walker (22). Barnes (6-2, 229 pounds) entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of UCLA with the Green Bay Packers in 2020. He was a two-year starter in Green Bay before an injury derailed his third season. Barnes recorded 190 tackles, four pass breakups, three sacks, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble in 35 games witih the Packers. Wallow (6-2, 230 pounds) was picked by the Houston Texans in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL draft out of TCU. He spent the first two and a half years of his career in Houston, totaling 36 tackles, one sack and one pass breakup in 32 games (five starts). After being bumped down to the Texans' practice squad in 2023, he was signed by the Tennessee Titans to their active roster. He had six tackles in three appearances with the Titans to close out the year and then missed the 2024 season with a pectoral injury. Hines (6-3, 226 pounds) went undrafted out of Texas A&M in 2021 and signed with the Dallas Cowboys as a college free agent. He went on to have later stints with the Washington Football Team, Los Angeles Rams and New York Jets, but never appeared in a regular season game. Hines spent the last two years in the UFL with the DC Defenders, totaling 72 tackles, three sacks and two forced fumbles in 18 games. Walker (6-0, 219 pounds) is a rookie out of Indiana (and James Madison before that) who was signed by the Las Vegas Raiders in May. He was cut by the Raiders last week. Denver brought Walker in for a pre-draft visit earlier this year. At the time of publication, the Broncos have not made any signings. The healthy linebackers currently on the roster are Dre Greenlaw, Levelle Bailey, Justin Strnad and three undrafted free agent additions: Karene Reid, JB Brown and Jordan Turner.
