Predicting a 17-player practice squad for the Broncos in 2024

After setting a 53-man roster next week, the Broncos will build a 16- or 17-player practice squad. Here’s our prediction.

After making roster cuts and setting an initial 53-man roster next week, the Denver Broncos (and every other team) will get an opportunity to claim players off waivers. Once the waiver period has passed, teams can then build a 16- or 17-player practice squad for the 2024 season.

(Clubs are allowed to carry an international player on their practice squad without that player counting against the 16-player limit.)

After unveiling our 53-man roster prediction earlier this week, today we’re taking a crack at predicting a 17-player practice squad for Denver. Check it out below:

NFL teams have until 2:00 p.m. MT (4:00 p.m. ET) on Tuesday, Aug. 27 to finalize a 53-man roster. After waiver claims are processed on Wednesday, clubs can then build their practice squads.

After setting the roster and practice squad, Denver will turn its attention toward a Week 1 showdown with the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 8.
