ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- With a still-growing list of injuries at linebacker, the Denver Broncos acquired linebacker Kenny Young Monday in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams, according to sources.
The Broncos sent the Rams a 2024 sixth-round draft pick in exchange for Young and a 2024 seventh-round pick, the sources said. Young is the second linebacker the Broncos have acquired in the last three days to go with Saturday's trade with the Minnesota Vikings to acquire Stephen Weatherly.
Broncos coach Vic Fangio said Friday, the day after the Broncos' 17-14 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Cleveland that saw three linebackers (Von Miller, Micah Kiser and Curtis Robinson) injured in the game, that general manager George Paton was "looking'' at all options to bring in some help at the position.
