What's Happening?
The Denver Broncos have completed their 53-man roster and are now focusing on filling their 16-man practice squad. The practice squad rules allow for 10 players with two years or fewer in the NFL, while the remaining six spots can be filled by veterans. The Broncos have signed several players to their practice squad, including IOL Calvin Throckmorton, CB Jaden Robinson, and QB Sam Ehlinger, among others. The team did not claim any players off waivers, and several former Broncos have signed with other teams, such as Sam Franklin Jr. with the Buffalo Bills.
Why It's Important?
The practice squad is crucial for NFL teams as it provides depth and development opportunities for players who may be called upon during the season due to injuries or other roster changes. For the Broncos, securing experienced players like Sam Ehlinger and Calvin Throckmorton can offer stability and potential talent for future games. The movement of players to and from the practice squad also reflects strategic decisions by the team to optimize their roster for the upcoming season.
What's Next?
The Broncos will continue to monitor waiver claims and practice squad signings as the season progresses. They may make additional changes based on player performance and team needs. The practice squad players will have the opportunity to prove themselves and potentially earn a spot on the active roster.
