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

Strnad (groin) participated in warmups ahead of Sunday's preseason game against Green Bay, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. 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.
Strnad was unavailable for practice Tuesday with a groin injury, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports. 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.
Strnad agreed Tuesday with the Broncos on a one-year deal, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. 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.
Strnad has agreed to a one-year deal with the Panthers, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. Strnad spent his first three seasons in Denver, but he will now get a fresh start with Carolina in 2024. He has suited up for every game of this three-year career, but he was primarily just a special teams contributor the past two seasons. The 27-year-old will now work to make an impression with his new team during offseason activities.
