Broncos' Justin Strnad: Secures interception in win
Strnad recorded five total tackles (two solo) and an interception in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.
Strnad played a season-low 54 percent of the team's defensive snaps, but he had a major impact on the game, picking off Jaxson Dart late in the fourth quarter. The linebacker has now compiled 30 total tackles (10 solo), including 3.5 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed, one of which was an interception, over seven games this season.

Strnad combined with Jonathon Cooper for an eight-yard sack on Justin Fields on the last play in the third quarter, and Strnad tacked on another by himself late in the fourth frame.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Tallies five tackles
Strnad recorded five total tackles and one pass defensed in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.
For the third straight game, Strnad was credited for five total tackles. The veteran linebacker has now recorded 15 total tackles (five solo) through three games while also logging two sacks, the second-highest total among all Denver defenders. Strnad should continue to play a prominent role in the Broncos' defense while teammate Dre Greenlaw (quadriceps) is on injured reserve. The 29-year-old will look to make an impact in Week 4 when the Broncos host the Bengals with quarterback Jake Browning at the helm.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Staying in Mile High City
Denver will sign Strnad to a one-year, $2.7 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Strnad played the best football of his career in 2024, racking up 73 tackles (48 solo) and 3.0 sacks over 17 games. He got extended run as a starter for the first time as a pro after Alex Singleton suffered a torn ACL in Week 3, but the free-agent signing of Dre Greenlaw to a large contract suggests Strnad will move back into a rotational role to start 2025.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Career year in 2024
Strnad logged 73 total tackles (48 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and three passes defended across 17 regular-season games in 2024.
The 28-year-old from Wake Forest had the most productive season of his NFL career in 2024, setting new career highs in tackles, sacks and passes defended while playing 647 defensive snaps. Strnad filled in for the injured Alex Singleton (knee) with Denver's first-team defense, starting nine games this season. Following Strnad's best year as a pro, he's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer. He's likely to serve as the Broncos' top reserve inside linebacker again if he returns to Denver in 2025.

Strnad's fourth-quarter sack came on third down, resulting in a Chargers punt. It was the linebacker's second sack over the past three weeks after coming into the campaign with no sacks over 50 career regular-season games. Strnad didn't have much of a chance to get to the quarterback prior to 2024, though, as he played exclusively on special teams in both 2022 and 2023.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Good to go vs. Packers
Strnad (groin) participated in warmups ahead of Sunday's preseason game against Green Bay, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Strnad sustained a groin injury that kept him out of Denver's preseason opener against Indianapolis on Aug. 11. Now healthy, he'll use Sunday's game to make his case for a depth inside linebacker spot on the Broncos' final 53-man roster. The 2020 fifth-round pick played all 389 of his snaps last year on special teams and finished with five tackles (four solo) across 17 regular-season games.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Decides to remain with Denver
Strnad agreed Tuesday with the Broncos on a one-year deal, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Strnad was reportedly close to signing a deal with the Panthers, but ultimately the 27-year-old elected to remain in Denver. He played in all 17 regular-season contests in 2023 but played solely on special teams and finished with just five tackles. The Wake Forest product is thus in line to serve as a depth linebacker and core special-teams contributor for Denver in 2024.
