Daiyan Henley Trade Between Broncos and Chargers Falls Through After Failed Physical
A planned trade between the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers for linebacker Daiyan Henley was unsuccessful after the player failed his physical examination.
Denver, CO, November 13, 2026 —
A planned trade involving linebacker Daiyan Henley has been called off. The proposed transaction between the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers was ultimately unsuccessful.
Sources indicate that the trade did not proceed because the player, Daiyan Henley, failed his physical examination. This medical assessment is a standard and critical component of any professional sports trade, designed to ensure the health and readiness of the player involved.
The failure to pass the physical examination means that Henley will not be moving to the acquiring team as initially intended. Specific details regarding the nature of the failed physical were not immediately available.
Daiyan Henley, a linebacker, was the subject of this proposed exchange between two AFC West rivals. The outcome means that the status quo for Henley’s current team and his role moving forward will remain unchanged by this specific transaction.
Under typical NFL trade protocols, a player must successfully pass a physical administered by the potential new team. If the physical reveals any medical concerns that the acquiring team deems disqualifying or too risky, the trade can be voided by either party before it is finalized. In this instance, the failed physical prevented the deal from being completed.
The Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers have not released official statements detailing the specifics of the attempted trade or the reasons for its cancellation beyond the failed physical.
