BOULDER - With the 2021 NFL season still a week away, a total of 19 former Colorado Buffaloes have made either their team's active 53-man roster or landed a spot on the practice squad.
After three preseason games, teams cut down to the 53-man limit on Aug. 31 and then over the next few days signed players to their practice squads, which remain at the expanded 16-player limit established in 2020 due to the pandemic.
At least 13 Buffs will be suiting up for the NFL's opening weekend with All-Pro David Bakhtiari opening the 2021 season on the PUP (injured) list and five Buffs landing on practice squads.
