Denver Broncos waive safety Miles Scott after seventh-round selection

The Denver Broncos waived safety Miles Scott on August 30, 2026. The team selected Scott in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft with the 246th overall pick. Despite the roster move, the organization intends to pursue Scott for its 16-man practice squad. The move comes as the team addresses concerns regarding depth at the safety position following the departure of P.J. Locke to the Dallas Cowboys in free agency. Current in-house options at the position include Devon Key, JL Skinner, and Tycen Anderson, who have primarily contributed on special teams. Scott concludes his college career having recorded 64 tackles, one sack, and three interceptions during his final season.
