Denver Broncos sign ex-Baltimore Ravens WR Marlon Brown

The Denver Broncos re-signed wide receiver Marlon Brown and waived cornerback Taurean Nixon on Monday.

The 6-foot-5, 214-pound Brown, 25, is a fourth-year player who appeared in 38 regular-season games (15 starts) and two postseason contests (one start) during his first three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. He briefly competed with the Broncos during training camp in 2016 before being designated as waived/injured (back) on Aug. 4.

Brown, signed by the Ravens as a college free agent in 2013 out of the University of Georgia, has totaled 87 career NFL receptions for 891 yards with seven touchdowns. He posted career-highs of 49 catches for 524 yards with seven touchdowns as a rookie in 2013 while starting 12 of 14 games for Baltimore.

Nixon, a second-year cornerback who was drafted in the seventh round by the Broncos in 2015, spent his first season on the practice squad. He was called up to the 53-man roster on Nov. 6.
