    The Broncos called off their trade for Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley late Wednesday after he did not pass his physical, a source told The Denver Gazette. The teams had agreed to a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick. A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press the Broncos were surprised by something in the physical that the Chargers hadn't mentioned. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Thursday, “The Broncos based a pass/fail on a medical grade based on whether we would take less compensation.”
