Denver Broncos waive Tavarres King to make room for Von Miller on 53-man roster

Last week, the Green Bay Packers tried to sign rookie wide receiver Tavarres King to their active roster off the Denver Broncos' practice squad. This forced the Broncos to make a move.

Welcome back, Von Miller

Broncos star linebacker Von Miller will make his 2013 debut on Sunday Night Football tomorrow in Indianapolis (click for more).

Not wanting King to sign elsewhere, Denver activated him to their own 53-man roster on Tuesday. King wanted to stay in Denver and the Broncos did not want to lose him, so in a way, the Packers played a beneficial role for King.

But just when King was about to write a thank you not to Green Bay, he is now jobless.

The Denver Post's Mike Klis reported on Twitter on Saturday morning that the Broncos have waived King to make room for linebacker Von Miller on the 53-man roster. Miller, of course, is returning from his six-game suspension this week.

As USA Today's Lindsay Jones noted, the Broncos currently have an open spot on their practice squad, so if King clears waivers, they may re-sign him to their practice unit.

As for King, he either hasn't heard the news yet or has recovered from being cut very quickly, as he is actively tweeting about the Georgia/Vaderbilt game with no mention on his Twitter timeline of being waived.

King was selected by the Broncos in the fifth round (161st overall) in April's draft out of Georgia. King finished his college career with 207 catches for 3,726 yards and 37 receiving touchdowns.

King hasn't been active for any games this season; Miller will make his 2013 debut on Sunday. The Broncos confirmed the news on Twitter moments after this story was published.
