ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos‘ initial 53-man roster was set on Sunday.
Sean Payton and George Paton‘s first order of business is to make any changes to their 53-man roster, whether that be placing players on short-term IR or adding a player from another team. Their next order of business is building their 16-man practice squad.
While the Broncos cut nearly 40 players to knock their roster from 90 to 53, the majority of their practice squad will be made up of that group of players who they cut just a day before.
Here is an updated list of all of the roster moves the Broncos have made, along with who they have agreed to sign to their practice squad.
