Former Redskins and Broncos Su’a Cravens safety posted alarming messages on his Instagram story Sunday before setting his account to private and listing his display name as “RIP 🙏🏾.”
“If these are my last days I want to say I love you ❤️ and I always will,” Cravens posted on his Instagram story. “God I leave the rest to you.”
One hour later, Cravens posted “Goodbye ❤️.”
Raiders linebacker Will Compton, who played with Cravens in 2016, tweeted on Sunday evening that the former safety is safe and with family.
Former Redskins safety Will Blackmon, who also played with Cravens in 2016, also tweeted good news.
Cravens (6-1, 224 pounds) entered the league as a second-round pick out of USC with the Redskins in 2016. The safety-linebacker hybrid and had an impressive rookie season, totaling 34 tackles, one sack and one interception.
Cravens suffered from post-concussion syndrome in 2017 and sat out his entire second season. Washington traded him to Denver in 2018 and he dressed for five games with the Broncos, totaling 18 tackles.
Cravens didn’t appear to be an ideal fit in Vic Fangio’s defense this summer and failed to make the 53-man roster. Denver opted to go with Justin Simmons, Kareem Jackson, Will Parks and Trey Marshall instead.
Cravens has remained a free agent since late August.
