The Denver Broncos traded tackle Chris Clark to the Houston Texans on Monday for a seventh-round pick in the 2016 draft.
Clark, who is entering his sixth NFL season, started seven games for the Broncos last season. He started 14 games in 2013 after the Broncos lost Ryan Clady to a foot injury.
The Broncos also released veteran linebacker Reggie Walker and placed rookie tight end Jeff Heuerman on injured reserve.
Backup quarterback Zac Dysert was among the group of waived players. He was joined by cornerback Tevrin Brandon, guard Andre Davis, tight end/fullback Joe Don Duncan, punter Spencer Lanning, tight end Jake Murphy, running back Jeremy Stewart, outside linebacker Chase Vaughn and safety Ross Madison.
Denver’s current active roster, which consists of 79 players, must be cut to 75 players by 4 p.m. ET Tuesday.
