The Path to the Denver Broncos’ 53: Tracking Sean Payton and George Paton’s roster cuts

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The only thing that stands between the Denver Broncos and Week 1 of the regular season is roster cuts.

By Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. MDT, all NFL teams must cut their rosters down from 90 players to 53.

On Wednesday, teams will then begin building their practice squad, which will be filled with many players they release before the Tuesday deadline.
