The business side of the NFL can be ruthless and the Denver Broncos are no different. When it comes to putting the best 53-man roster together, sometimes one position has to pay for the needs of another.

Wallace played in 13 games (two starts), allowing 15 catches for 223 yards, a touchdown and a passer rating of 111.3, according to NFL’s Next Gen Stats. The former Bills and Steelers defensive back last played in Week 13’s win over the Browns, when he gave up six catches for 151 yards and a touchdown while filling in for an injured Riley Moss.

Broncos cornerback Levi Wallace said he played the "worst" game of his NFL career on Dec. 2 against Cleveland. That resulted in him being benched for Sunday's game against Indianapolis.
