Tracking every Denver Broncos roster move as they work toward a 53-man roster

DENVER — The Denver Broncos’ season opener is less than two weeks away. But before the 2021 season kicks off, George Paton, Vic Fangio and Co. must trim the roster down to their final 53-man squad. By 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Denver’s final roster must be set.

With the roster already down to 80, the Broncos already have a jumpstart on that task.

On Wednesday, the team will be awarded any players claimed off waivers and can begin building their practice squad.
