News

  • Staying in Mile High City

    Denver will sign Strnad to a one-year, $2.7 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Strnad played the best football of his career in 2024, racking up 73 tackles (48 solo) and 3.0 sacks over 17 games. He got extended run as a starter for the first time as a pro after Alex Singleton suffered a torn ACL in Week 3, but the free-agent signing of Dre Greenlaw to a large contract suggests Strnad will move back into a rotational role to start 2025.

  • Career year in 2024

    Strnad logged 73 total tackles (48 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and three passes defended across 17 regular-season games in 2024.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old from Wake Forest had the most productive season of his NFL career in 2024, setting new career highs in tackles, sacks and passes defended while playing 647 defensive snaps. Strnad filled in for the injured Alex Singleton (knee) with Denver's first-team defense, starting nine games this season. Following Strnad's best year as a pro, he's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer. He's likely to serve as the Broncos' top reserve inside linebacker again if he returns to…read more

  • Records nine tackles in win

    Strnad recorded nine tackles (two solo) in Denver's win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Strnad played a season-high 93 percent of the defensive snaps against Indianapolis and matched his season best with the nine tackles, which he's done three times. On the year, Strnad has 63 tackles (40 solo), including 3.0 sacks, four QB hits and three pass breakups.

  • Team-leading nine tackles Thursday

    Strnad logged nine tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Thursday's 33-10 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Strnad has logged at least seven combined tackles in three straight games. He sacked Spencer Rattler midway through the fourth quarter, and Strnad's 3.0 sacks on the season have all come over the last four regular-season games.

  • Notches sack in defeat

    Strnad registered seven tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Strnad's fourth-quarter sack came on third down, resulting in a Chargers punt. It was the linebacker's second sack over the past three weeks after coming into the campaign with no sacks over 50 career regular-season games. Strnad didn't have much of a chance to get to the quarterback prior to 2024, though, as he played exclusively on special teams in both 2022 and 2023.

  • Records nine tackles in win

    Analysis: Making his second start in place of an injured Alex Singleton (knee, IR), Strnad logged 73 percent of the defensive snaps and was Denver's leading tackler. Over the last two weeks, Strnad has recorded 13 tackles (10 solo), including three TFLs and 1.0 sacks.

  • Logs two TFLs vs. Jets

    Strnad recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: The Wake Forest product was filling in for the injured Alex Singleton (knee) in Week 4 and didn't disappoint, leading the Broncos in tackles for loss while notching the first sack of his career. After Sunday's performance, Strnad is expected to continue starting alongside Cody Barton in Denver's inside-linebacker corps.

  • Good to go vs. Packers

    Strnad (groin) participated in warmups ahead of Sunday's preseason game against Green Bay, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Strnad sustained a groin injury that kept him out of Denver's preseason opener against Indianapolis on Aug. 11. Now healthy, he'll use Sunday's game to make his case for a depth inside linebacker spot on the Broncos' final 53-man roster. The 2020 fifth-round pick played all 389 of his snaps last year on special teams and finished with five tackles (four solo) across 17 regular-season games.

  • Nursing groin injury

    Strnad was unavailable for practice Tuesday with a groin injury, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Strnad will have a few more days to get back out on the practice field ahead of Denver's preseason opener Sunday in Indianapolis. The linebacker re-signed with the Broncos in March, and he's attempting to secure a top reserve spot at interior linebacker in 2024.

  • Decides to remain with Denver

    Strnad agreed Tuesday with the Broncos on a one-year deal, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Strnad was reportedly close to signing a deal with the Panthers, but ultimately the 27-year-old elected to remain in Denver. He played in all 17 regular-season contests in 2023 but played solely on special teams and finished with just five tackles. The Wake Forest product is thus in line to serve as a depth linebacker and core special-teams contributor for Denver in 2024.

  • Finds new home

    Strnad has agreed to a one-year deal with the Panthers, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Strnad spent his first three seasons in Denver but will get a fresh start with Carolina. He hasn't missed a game yet in the NFL, but he was primarily a special teams contributor the past two seasons. The 27-year-old will try to win a bigger role with the Panthers in 2024.

    Strnad (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Strnad missed the Broncos' Week 10 loss to the Eagles after he tested positive for COVID-19. However, he'll now be able to rejoin the team and will have a week to work on his conditioning before Denver takes on the Chargers on Nov. 28.

    Analysis: Strnad has a been a consistent contributor to the Broncos' defense this season, as well as on special teams. With Denver's defense currently suffering multiple injuries to its linebacker unit, Strnad will try to regain health quickly and return to the field.

  • Gearing up for offseason program

    Strnad (wrist) will be ready to participate when Broncos team workouts open up this spring, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: The Broncos acquired Strnad in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, intrigued by the pass-defending skill set he showcased during his career at Wake Forest. After dislocating the lunate bone and suffering multiple torn ligaments in his wrist during an August practice, Strnad did not ultimately field a single snap during his rookie campaign. Strnad's rehabilitation process incorporated upper body exercises several weeks ago, according to Troy Renck of Denver7 News. Now, it's confirmed the…read more

  • Placed on IR

    The Broncos placed Strnad (wrist) on injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's transaction list.

    Analysis: Strnad is expected to undergo wrist surgery that will force him to miss the entire 2020 season, so this news isn't quite surprising. Strnad will likely spend the season on the team's IR barring an injury settlement.

  • Season-ending wrist injury

    Strnad will undergo wrist surgery and miss the 2020 season, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Although he's only a late fifth-round pick out of Wake Forest, Strnad was a candidate to provide upgraded coverage snaps over starting inside linebacker Todd Davis, who's currently sitting out with a calf injury. Strnad's absence might leave more snaps on Davis' plate when he gets over the calf issue, while the other inside linebacker spot will go to Alexander Johnson.

  • Dealing with injury

    Strnad suffered a wrist injury during Sunday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: The specifics of the injury remain unclear, and it's possible the injury could jeopardize the 2020 fifth-round pick's availability for the regular season. The Wake Forest product has impressed his head coach Vic Fangio during training camp, pushing for a depth role in the defense.

  • Impressing head coach

    Head coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that he has liked what he's seen from Strnad to start training camp, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: While at Wake Forest, Strnad finished second in the ACC with 105 total tackles in 2018, and he was exceeding that pace in 2019 before tearing his bicep seven games into his last season of college. Alexander Johnson and Todd Davis are solidified as the Broncos' starters at the two inside linebacker spots, but Strnad's sure tackling and skills in coverage should leave him as the next man up at the position.
