Catches on with Bills' taxi squad
Published: 2024-08-28
Buffalo signed Virgil to its practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Virgil missed the entire 2023 season due to a torn meniscus. He entered training camp fully healthy, but he was unable to make the Broncos' 53-man roster after posting just one catch (on four targets) for 13 yards across Denver's three preseason games. Virgil did get some reps as a kick returner during the preseason -- he turned three kick returns in 88 yards against the Colts on Aug. 11 -- and he could get called up to the Bills' active roster at some point during the season to fill that role if needed.
Cut by Denver

The Broncos waived Virgil on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Undrafted out of Appalachian State in 2022, Virgil appeared in nine games as a rookie, finishing with two catches for 75 yards and one touchdown on five targets. He missed all of 2023 with a torn meniscus and now will look for an opportunity elsewhere should he clear waivers. Virgil caught one pass for 13 yards this preseason.
Ready to compete again

Virgil is fully recovered from surgery to repair a torn meniscus suffered in the Broncos' second preseason game last year and which forced him to miss the 2023 campaign, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Virgil had to spend the entirety of last season on IR after a 2022 rookie campaign that saw him appear in nine games and record two catches on five targets for 75 yards, while also seeing work in the return game on special teams. According to Tomasson, the 25-year-old is eagerly awaiting spring drills in April, where he'll work to start carving out a regular role for himself in Denver.
Moves to IR

Virgil (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Virgil's move to IR doesn't come as much of a surprise after it was reported he tore his meniscus and would need surgery to repair it. He'll now focus on his recovery and being ready to compete in 2024.
Will require surgery

Virgil (knee) will need surgery to repair his meniscus, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Virgil injured his knee on the final play of the first half during Denver's loss to San Francisco Saturday and will now likely miss the entire season. The 25-year-old signed as an undrafted free agent last year and appeared in two games during the 2022 campaign, catching two of his five targets for 75 yards and a touchdown.
Undergoes further testing

Virgil had an MRI on his knee Sunday, and the team is awaiting the results, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Virgil suffered the injury during Saturday's preseason contest with the 49ers and was immediately ruled out for the remainder of the game. The 25-year-old was likely on the bubble as far as making the 53-man roster, so good news on the MRI would be especially important for the Appalachian State product.
Injures knee Saturday
Published: 2023-08-19
Virgil left Saturday's preseason game against the 49ers with a knee injury, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Virgil was injured at the end of a 50-yard catch. He needed help to the sideline before eventually hopping on a cart to the locker room. Undrafted out of Appalachian State last year, Virgil caught two passes for 75 yards and one touchdown across nine games as a rookie.
