Broncos Promote LB Gause From Practice Squad

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (The Sports Xchange) - The Denver Broncos promoted linebacker Quentin Gause from their practice squad Saturday and placed wide receiver Marlon Brown on injured reserve.

Brown was signed by the Broncos three weeks ago after he was out while recovering from a back injury. He was not active in the Broncos' previous two games.

The 6-foot, 243-pound Gause is an undrafted rookie from Rutgers who spent the last eight weeks on Denver's practice squad. He also competed on practice squads with Philadelphia and New England this season after being signed by the Eagles as a college free agent on May 5.
