Broncos Release Christian Ponder

Christian Ponder may return to his regularly scheduled grocery shopping.

Ponder, the former first rounder signed by the Denver Broncos to provide emergency depth during their ongoing quarterback situation, had been in the middle of buying thanksgiving groceries for his wife when the Broncos called him off the couch less than three weeks ago. He can now finish his “honey do list.”

The Broncos waived Ponder on Tuesday and announced a slew of additional roster moves designed to bolster their lineup while they wait on seven injured starters to get out of the training room.
