The Denver Broncos traded backup offensive tackle Ty Sambrailo to the Atlanta Falcons on Friday for a fifth-round selection in the 2018 draft.

Sambrailo, 25, is a third-year player who started seven of 13 games for the Broncos during the last two seasons after being selected in the second round of the 2015 draft out of Colorado State.

The 6-foot-5, 315-pound Sambrailo opened Denver's first three games at left tackle during his rookie season in 2015 before being placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. He returned to play 10 games -- starting four at right tackle -- in 2016.

The Broncos drafted left tackle Garett Bolles in the first round this year to take over the starting duties and Sambrailo battled Donald Stephenson for the backup swing-tackle role this preseason.
