ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos have lost rookie special teams star Darcel McBath for the season with a broken arm.

McBath, a second-round pick out of Texas Tech, broke his right forearm in the Broncos’ 28-16 loss at Indianapolis on Sunday. He was hurt in the fourth quarter while playing safety in place of starter Renaldo Hill, who had left the game with an ankle injury.
McBath was placed on injured reserve Monday, ending his season. Safety Vernon Fox, one of Denver’s final cuts during camp, was signed to replace him.
