Denver officially designated undrafted cornerback Blake Cotton as waived/injured on Friday. He will revert to injured reserve after clearing waivers.
However, after news broke on Thursday evening that the Broncos planned to sign Webb , Cotton told the Denver Gazette 's Chris Tomasson that Denver planned to waive him with an injury settlement. So he will presumably be released from IR with a settlement in the coming days.
Cotton (6-2, 195 pounds) totaled 30 tackles and seven pass breakups in 13 games at Utah last fall. He told Tomasson that he suffered a hamstring injury on the first day of training camp acclimation. The Broncos have not ruled out the possibility of bringing Cotton back at some point down the road, according to Tomasson.
