Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad with new WR

After promoting FB Michael Burton to the active roster and signing WR Kaden Davis, the Broncos have a full 17-player practice squad.

After making three roster moves on Wednesday, the Denver Broncos have reshuffled their practice squad ahead of Week 2.

Denver promoted fullback Michael Burton to the 53-man roster on Wednesday and then signed wide receiver Kaden Davis to fill Burton’s former spot on the practice squad.

The NFL’s standard practice squad size limit is 16 players, but there’s an exception that allows an extra international player to not count against the limit. For the Broncos, Australian tight end Thomas Yassmin is an exception, giving Denver a 17-player practice squad.

So here’s the full list of 17 players on the squad after Wednesday’s moves.
