ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos‘ initial 53-man roster was set on Tuesday.

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 few days 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.

Players signed to the Broncos’ 53-man roster

These were veteran players that were not on the waiver wire and that will be added to Denver’s active roster

  • Have not added any players to this list yet

Players placed on short-term IR

These players do not count against the 53-man roster, but must miss at least four games

  • Damarri Mathis was placed on short-term IR on Tuesday

Players claimed by the Broncos on the wire

These players were released by a team recently and will be added to the Broncos’ 53-man roster

  • The Broncos did not claim a single player off the wire

Players formerly on the Broncos signed to other teams

These players were released by the Broncos recently and signed with a different team

  • OL Demontrey Jacobs claimed by the Patriots
  • OL Sam Mustipher signed to the Chargers’ practice squad
  • DL Elijah Garcia signed to the Giants’ practice squad
  • WR Jalen Virgil signed to Bills practice squad
