The Broncos trimmed down their roster to 53 players earlier today but the roster movement is far from over with. First, the team will be placing three players on the short-term injured reserve tomorrow so that will open up three roster spots for players. We also have the waiver claims coming in and if the Broncos are awarded anyone, they will need to make a corresponding roster move to open up a roster spot for that player.
Payton met with the media after practice today and he told reporters that the team is “right in the thick of the roster being shaped” and that “there is still a lot of shuffling with teams” he continued by saying the Broncos “will be one of those shuffling teams”.
