Since the end of April, the Broncos have been grooming three quarterbacks to backup Joe Flacco. Eight days before the season kicks off, the Broncos completely abandoned those plans, opting to go an entirely new direction instead.

Here’s what we learned about Denver initial 52—not 53—man roster.

With the offseason, training camp and preseason complete, building the roster is the only thing that stands between the Broncos and the regular season.

The San Francisco 49ers’ defense punched the Denver Broncos’ offense in the mouth in the team’s first joint practice session on Friday. On Saturday, in round two, the Broncos returned the blow.

Joe Flacco has fallen in love on the field.

The Broncos have a rich history of undrafted rookies making the final 53-man roster. So rich, in fact, that at least one undrafted rookie has made Denver’s roster in 14 of the past 15 years.

The Broncos took off the pads for Tuesday's practice, but that doesn't mean it wasn't juicy.

Sunday football was back in the Mile High City. There was a new intriguing face on the field, too.

In front of 21,234 fans and rockin’ game jerseys, the Broncos took over Broncos Stadium at Mile High on Saturday afternoon for their ninth training camp practice.

On Saturday, for the first time in the Vic Fangio era, the pads came on at Broncos training camp. But the story of the day didn’t have to do with big hits or contact.

Some of the following roster battles will determine who will make the 53-man roster, while others will actually have a significant impact on the field this year.

Von Miller didn’t make practice enjoyable for his offensive tackle teammates, or quarterbacks for that matter, as he practically lived deep in the pocket all day long.

By his actions, John Elway has put the ultimate faith in his new head coach.

Zaire Anderson, Jordan Taylor and Shelby Harris are among those who will return to Denver in 2018.
