Denver Broncos Sign S Kyle McCarthy To Roster, Release FB Quinn Johnson

The Denver Broncos on Saturday signed safety Kyle McCarthy to the active roster from their practice squad and waived fullback Quinn Johnson, it was announced.

McCarthy (6-foot-1, 205 pounds) is a second-year player who has seen action in 10 career games, including two contests for the Broncos this season. He was signed by Denver as a college free agent from the University of Notre Dame in 2010.

He will wear jersey No. 34 for the Broncos.

This move leaves to question the availability of Brian Dawkins on Sunday. Dawkins left the game against the Bears last week with a neck injury and was limited all week in practice.
