The Broncos announced their initial 53-man roster today after the 2 p.m. NFL deadline. The Broncos got around to posting their roster at 2:xx:
Quarterbacks (2)
- Teddy Bridgewater
- Drew Lock
No surprises here that the Broncos went with two quarterbacks and waived Brett Rypien for the third consecutive preseason. If Rypien clears waivers, he is an ideal practice squad quarterback because of his regular-season game experience (beat the New York Jets last year) and knowledge of the offense.
Running backs (4)
- Melvin Gordon
- Javonte Williams
- Royce Freeman
- Mike Boone
Boone (quad) will head to injured reserve, but being on the 53-man roster makes him eligible to return after missing a minimum of the first three games.
