Denver traded Browning to Arizona on Monday in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round draft pick, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Browning has been plagued by injuries this season -- he's missed four of the Broncos' nine games -- but now he'll get a clean slate with the Cardinals. With rookie first-rounder Darius Robinson still dealing with a calf injury, Browning could earn a meaningful share of playing time on the edge relatively quickly.
