Broncos to Release Safety Caden Sterns After Injury-Plagued Tenure

The former fifth-round pick's departure marks a shift in Denver's secondary strategy, with younger players stepping up.

Caden Sterns, drafted in 2021, struggled with injuries, playing only 21 games in three seasons.
Sterns' release opens opportunities for younger safeties like JL Skinner and P. J. Locke.
Denver recently signed Brandon Jones and is unlikely to re-sign former safety Justin Simmons.
Sterns showed potential early in his career but was hampered by hip and knee injuries.
The Broncos' safety depth will be tested with current injuries to key players.
