Broncos acquire Young from Rams for swap of 2024 late-round picks

The Los Angeles Rams are trading linebacker Kenny Young and a 2024 seventh-round pick to the Denver Broncos for a 2024 sixth-round pick, the teams announced.

With four inside linebackers on injured reserve, Denver needed to bolster the defensive unit as it attempts to end a four-game losing skid.

Young started all seven matchups for the Rams this campaign, racking up 46 total tackles and two sacks. However, his playing time dipped over the last three weeks.

Ernest Jones will likely take over the starting role in L.A.

Young, the Baltimore Ravens' 2018 fourth-round pick, will become an unrestricted free agent this coming offseason.
