The dust has settled following a flurry of roster moves for the Denver Broncos, and it appears that the team's 53-man roster and 17-player practice squad are set, although both are still subject to changes.
That's 70 healthy players Denver has under contract going into the 2026 NFL season. Additionally, the club now has seven players on injury lists ahead of the regular season.
The Broncos opted to carry three quarterbacks, six wide receivers and nine offensive linemen on the active roster. On defense, Denver has seven defensive linemen and five safeties. Here's a look at the team's full 53-man squad.

Jonathon Cooper, who pleaded not guilty to all charges related to his felony assault case on Monday, has a trial by jury scheduled for Nov. 10, 12 and 13, during Denver's bye week. Cooper is currently on the commissioner's exempt list, so he does not count against the 53-man roster and he is not eligible to practice or play in games.
