Tracking Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos' roster moves and their practice squad

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

According to Sean Payton, the Broncos’ brass planned on staying at the Centura Health Training Center until 2 a.m. on Wednesday morning to examine the waiver wire to look at the 1,000 players cut around the NFL on Tuesday. According to George Paton, the brass would be at the office until 5 a.m.

The Broncos’ 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.
