Levelle Bailey clears waivers, returns to Broncos on practice squad

Undrafted rookie linebacker Levelle Bailey cleared waivers on Friday and will now re-sign with the Denver Broncos on the practice squad, according to a report from the Denver Gazette‘s Chris Tomasson.

Bailey (6-2, 225 pounds) was waived by the Broncos on Thursday to make room for linebacker Kristian Welch, who figures to be a key player on special teams this season.

Bailey joined the team this spring as an undrafted free agent out of Fresno State. He turned heads earlier this week with a 94-yard pick-six in Denver’s preseason finale.

Denver has now filled its 17-player practice squad for the 2024 season.
