Broncos Trade Tackle Chris Clark For Draft Pick

DENVER (CBS4) - The Broncos offensive line has lost a little bit of depth.

The team announced on Monday they are trading tackle Chris Clark to the Houston Texans for a 2016 NFL Draft pick. The action depends on Clark passing a physical.

Clark filled in admirably in the 2013 season when Ryan Clady was injured, and there was some thought he would do so again after Clady suffered a season-ending injury in May. However, the team apparently has confidence in rookie Ty Sambrailo.

The Broncos get a seventh-round pick in exchange for Clark.

The Broncos are in the midst of making cuts to their roster to meet Tuesday afternoon's NFL 75-man roster deadline.
