Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022

2015
2014
Purcell recorded 45 total tackles, 1.5 sacks and one fumble recovery while playing all 17 games in 2022. Heading into the 2023 campaign, however, the veteran nose tackle finds himself placed on the active/non-football injury list with a knee injury. Purcell will continue to recover from a minor offseason surgery and will be eligible to return to the field when he can pass a physical. The 32-year-old will likely serve as the backup nose tackle behind D.J. Jones, providing a solid depth option if injury issues arise along the defensive line.
Purcell appeared in 13 contests last season, totaling 33 tackles, one pass deflection and one fumble recovery. Heading into 2022, the veteran should maintain his role as Denver's starting nose tackle.
Working his way back from a lisfranc injury suffered last season, Purcell should step back into his role as the starting nose tackle for the Broncos. Although he is not much of a pass rusher, his prowess as a run stuffer and disruption in the interior trenches make the 30-year-old a key asset in Denver's defensive front.
Purcell has showed significant improvement early in the preseason and has a good shot at making the team as a backup lineman.
Purcell was waived by the 49ers, but he is a likely candidate to rejoin the team's practice squad heading into the season.
