Taurean Nixon: Pushed from Rams

Taurean Nixon: Let go by Jacksonville
Nixon (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Jaguars on Monday.
The nature and extent of Nixon's injury is unclear, but the Jaguars evidently felt it was something that would cause him to miss further practice time. Assuming the former seventh-round pick, who was claimed off waivers from the Broncos in June, goes unclaimed this time around, he could revert to the Jaguars' injured reserve list.

Jaguars' Taurean Nixon: Claimed by Jaguars
Nixon was claimed by the Jaguars on Thursday, Mike Kils of 9News Denver reports.
Nixon was waived by the Broncos on Wednesday. The 2015 seventh-rounder spent much of last season on Denver's practice squad before being called up and tallying one tackle in two games. He'll look to make the active roster in Jacksonville as a depth corner and special teams player in 2017.

Taurean Nixon: Waived by Broncos
Nixon was waived by the Broncos on Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Denver Post reports.
Nixon was waived in order to make room on the roster for fellow cornerback Chris Lewis-Harris. The 2015 seventh-round pick spent the majority of last season on the practice squad for the Broncos before a short stint on the active roster in the latter portion of the year. He tallied just one tackle in two games with the club.

Broncos' Taurean Nixon: Brought back to active roster
Nixon signed a contract with the Broncos on Wednesday, The Denver Post reports.
This will represent the start of Nixon's second stint with the Broncos this season as he'd previously spent time on the active roster in November when starting corner Aqib Talib was out with a back issue. This time, Nixon's signing presumably comes as a corresponding move to CB Kayvon Webster's (concussion) placement on injured reserve.

Broncos' Taurean Nixon: Promoted to active roster
Nixon has been promoted to the active roster, Nicki Jhabvala of The Denver Post reports.
Nixon's promotion is likely due to a currently compromised Broncos defensive backfield. Aqib Talib remains out with a back injury, and veteran Kayvon Webster is questionable for Week 9 with a hamstring injury. Nixon is likely two or three injuries away from being thrust into action at cornerback, depending on Webster's availability come Sunday.

Broncos' Taurean Nixon: Chance at a roster spot
Nixon has a chance to be a depth corner for the Broncos if he finishes the preseason strong, Mike Klis of 9News reports.
Nixon was Denver's seventh round pick in 2015, but he didn't dress for a single game during his rookie season. As training camp winds down, Nixon will have a chance to earn a 53-man roster spot if he can perform well in the team's preseason finale, Thursday against Arizona.

Broncos' Taurean Nixon: Sidelined Tuesday
Nixon did not practice on Tuesday for undisclosed reasons.
Head coach Gary Kubiak would only admit that Nixon had suffered "a little nick" during Monday's session. Though the severity or location of the injury is unknown, Kubiak's lack of concern bodes well for Nixon's health going forward.
