SAN JOSE, Calif. - Denver Broncos safety Ryan Murphy was questioned by authorities as part of a prostitution sting at a Motel in San Jose.

Denver7 Tony Kovaleski confirms Murphy was present at the motel during the sting on Tuesday.

He was questioned by authorities because he was at the motel but he was not arrested.

He was released after investigators determined he did not solicit a prostitute.

Murphy was at the motel visiting his brother who was cited and released.

Santa Clara County Human Trafficking Task Force has been conducting several prostitution stings in the area.

Ten men have been cited and released for solicitation over the last few days.

Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak released a statement late Monday saying the Murphy would be traveling back to Denver and would not be part of team preparations for the Super Bowl.

"Although practice squad safety Ryan Murphy was not cited by police, we decided it was best for the team if we continued our preparations for Super Bowl 50 without him," Kubiak's statement said.

"Ryan is returning to Denver but his status as a practice squad player had not changed at this time."

Murphy, who is a native of Oakland and played at Oregon State, was signed to the Broncos practice squad in November.

Not the type of thing you want on your club's mind during Super Bowl week now is it? Don't think this will affect the game but got to be a distraction in the leadup to the game.

Who?

No surprise...the Superb Owl is one of the largest human sex trafficking events in the world. He was very likely just in the wrong place at the wrong time, since nearly every hotel in the Bay Area is going to see some kind of prostitution or trafficking of minors going on this week.

Imagine the outrage if this was a Patriots player... This will get swept under the rug!


All kidding aside: He probably was doing nothing wrong and was exactly that, at the wrong place and the wrong time.

Seriously? We are talking about a practice player. Beyond diehard Broncos fans who has even heard of this guy? In addition the guy was not even cited for anything.

In a surprise move Tom Brady stated he's never been to that motel either and then he smashed his cellphone to pieces while puzzled reporters watched.

He's been on the Broncos practice squad since November after being cut by Seattle in his rookie year. He's from Oakland and was with his brother at the time, who was cited by the police. The Broncos responded correctly by sending him back to Denver immediately. The practice squad players are there all week as a courtesy by the Broncos and this was dealt with swiftly and appropriately. It's a non-story.

I consider myself a die hard, and I'd never heard of the guy.

The return of Eugene Robinson.

Not quite the same thing. Robinson was arrested the night before the big game and was considered one of the leaders of that Falcons defense. We are talking 5 days out from the game with a guy that hasn't even played a single snap in the regular season for the Broncos. I don't see this being something that really affects the team.

I know but Eugene was the first thing that came to mind when I read the story. Fact that Murphy was PS player almost makes this a non story.

Oh I understand why it came to mind. Heck on the Bronco board same conclusion was had. Like you said though practice squad player that is more along for the joy ride and hasn't seen the field all year makes this a non-story for sure. Heck the player didn't even get busted he just got questioned.
