ENGLEWOOD, Colo – It’s never easy to cut an NFL roster down to 53-players. Many players see their dreams crushed as the head coach alerts them that they will be released. Some players, though, get a second lease on their NFL life.

On Sunday morning, the Denver Broncos announced the signing of eight players to their 10-man practice squad:

Player	Pos.	College	Exp.
Dillon Day	C	Mississippi State	1
Vontarrius Dora	OLB	Louisiana Tech	R
Mose Frazier	WR	Memphis	R
Henry Krieger-Coble	TE	Iowa	R
Ryan Murphy	S	Oregon State	1
Justin Murray	T	Cincinnati	R
Taurean Nixon	CB	Tulane	2
Juwan Thompson	RB	Duke	3

The team saw none of their released players claimed by other teams and still reserve two more spots to add more young players. They keep their options open to sign a free agent and demote one or more of their current 53 to the practice squad by only adding eight players.

UPDATE: The Broncos have signed undrafted rookie linebacker Kyle Kragen to the practice squad and expected to do the same with Kalif Raymond to fill out their 10-man squad.
