Levelle Bailey, linebacker for the Denver Broncos, is facing significant competition for a spot on the team's 53-man roster this summer. A third-year player who initially joined the Broncos as an undrafted free agent, Bailey has struggled to break into a crowded inside linebacker group that features established players such as Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad. In his second season, he was mainly used on special teams and did not record any tackles in three games during the 2026 season. With the addition of new linebackers Red Murdock and Taurean York, Bailey's chances of making the active roster appear uncertain, but he remains a strong candidate for the practice squad if he is cut again.
- •Bailey is listed as No. 56 on the Broncos roster.
- •He played five seasons at Fresno State before joining the NFL.
- •Bailey was a special teams player in his first two seasons with the Broncos.
- •His competition includes veteran linebackers and recent draft picks.
