Denver Broncos sign fourth-year defensive tackle Marvin Austin
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Denver Broncos have signed fourth-year defensive tackle Marvin Austin, whose career has been beset by injuries since the New York Giants made him a second-round draft pick in 2011.
After starring at North Carolina, Austin missed his rookie season with a torn chest muscle before playing in eight games in New York in 2012.
He played in a total of three games last season for Miami and Dallas. The Cowboys released him after just one game and one tackle when he hurt his back in practice in November.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Austin (6-foot-2 and 312 pounds) has 10 career tackles.
