Broncos Place Shane Ray On Injured Reserve

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) — The Denver Broncos have put Shane Ray on injured reserve.

The outside linebacker tweeted out an update on his wrist that's been giving him trouble since before preseason.

Life comes at you sometimes and you have to make the best of things. After my 3rd wrist surgery it's time that I get healthy so that I can be the best I can be. As always I appreciate the love and support and I'm looking forward to what we will be as a team next season! pic.twitter.com/khnftFF2fc

He also competed on practice squads with the New York Jets and Broncos this season.
