Denver Broncos send Ryan Murphy home from Super Bowl camp
Wednesday 3 February 2016 07:14, UK
The Denver Broncos have sent practice squad player Ryan Murphy home from their Super Bowl camp after he was detained by police during a prostitution sting.
The rookie safety, who is yet to appear in an NFL game, was sent back to Denver soon after he was released when San Jose police determined it was his brother who had been involved.
Murphy was due to be part of the Broncos scout team during three practice sessions for Sunday's game, which is taking place in nearby Santa Clara.
Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said: "Although practice squad safety Ryan Murphy was not cited by police, we decided it was best for the team if we continued our preparations for Super Bowl 50 without him.
"Ryan is returning to Denver but his status as a practice squad player has not changed at this time."
The Broncos had been given Tuesday off after participating in Super Bowl 50 Media Day on Monday.
