Broncos set initial 53-man roster for 2026 NFL season

After a busy weekend, the Denver Broncos have finalized their initial 53-man roster for the 2026 NFL season.

The key word is initial, because this roster is subject to change in the coming days.

NFL clubs will now make waiver claims, and if the Broncos are awarded any players off the waiver wire, they will need to make corresponding moves to make room for new arrivals. Denver also has some veteran players (such as fullback Adam Prentice) who are expected to spend Week 1 on the practice squad before later being promoted to the active roster.

So, keep in mind that this is subject to change, but here's the initial 53-man roster.
