The Broncos added the son of a former Atlanta Braves legend on Thursday.
Tight end Jake Murphy, son of two-time National League MVP Dale Murphy, was added to Denver's 90-man roster. The team placed defensive tackle Marvin Austin (groin) on season-ending IR to make room for him.
The elder Murphy was a seven-time All Star who ended his career in Colorado. His son, Jake, is just beginning his stint there after stops with the Raiders, Dolphins, and Bengals.
