With safety Shiloh Keo only two days away from rejoining the team following a two-game suspension under the substance-abuse policy, the Broncos have decided to move on.
The Broncos terminated Keo’s contract on Saturday.
As noted by Mike Klis of 9News.com, the move means that the Broncos believe rookies Justin Simmons and Will Parks are capable of backing up starting safeties T.J. Ward and Darian Stewart.
Keo joined the Broncos in December after not playing in 2014 or most of 2015. He played in four regular-season games and two postseason games. Klis points out that Keo recovered an onside kick in the AFC title game against the Patriots.
The suspension arose from a DUI arrest. As of 2014, the standard punishment increased from a fine to a two-game suspension.
