Ronald Darby and Jacob Martin, both former Denver Broncos defenders, have found new teams in the NFL. Darby, who played in Denver from 2021 to 2022 and signed a three-year, $30 million contract back then, has joined the Houston Texans on a one-year deal. After a strong tenure with the Broncos, where he recorded 67 tackles and 9 pass breakups in 16 games during his first season, Darby's second season ended prematurely due to an ACL injury.

Martin, previously acquired by Denver through a trade with the New York Jets, is now signed with the Washington Commanders for one year as well. Martin was part of the Broncos' plans after acquiring him in exchange for a fourth-round pick, though his contributions were limited. During his time in Denver, he made only six tackles and one sack in five games. Both players are looking to revitalize their careers in their new environments.

As Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season approaches, several teams are grappling with significant injuries. The Chicago Bears will be without safety Jaquan Brisker and potentially cornerback Tyrique Stevenson for their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, leaving their secondary vulnerable.

The Carolina Panthers face a tough challenge with their top two centers and starting right tackle sidelined for their matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. This will put added pressure on quarterback Andy Dalton.

In other matchups, the Buffalo Bills are dealing with injuries to wide receiver Khalil Shakir, defensive tackle Ed Oliver, and running back James Cook, all of whom missed practice leading up to their game against the New York Jets.
