Recapping the 3 roster moves Broncos made Wednesday

The Broncos placed Mike McGlinchey on IR, promoted Dondrea Tillman to the 53-man roster and signed Andrew Farmer to the practice squad.

The Denver Broncos made three roster moves on Wednesday ahead of Sunday’s road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

First, the Broncos placed right tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) on injured reserve, ruling him out for at least four games. Alex Palczewski is the next man up to fill in while McGlinchey is sidelined.

Second, Denver promoted outside linebacker Dondrea Tillman from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. Tillman was likely elevated to provide depth while Baron Browning nurses a foot injury.

Third, the Broncos signed pass rusher Andrew Farmer to the practice squad to fill the spot vacated after Tillman’s promotion.

Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad with new OLB

Here’s a look at the Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad following the addition of Andrew Farmer.

After making three roster moves on Wednesday, the Denver Broncos have reshuffled their practice squad ahead of Week 3.

The move that started the reshuffling was right tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) being placed on injured reserve. To fill McGlinchey’s former spot on the 53-man roster, Denver promoted pass rusher Dondrea Tillman from the practice squad to the active roster.

To fill Tillman’s former practice squad spot, the Broncos brought in pass rusher Andrew Farmer.

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 Denver, Australian tight end Thomas Yassmin is an exception, giving the Broncos a 17-player practice squad.

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

Broncos 17-player practice squad

The Broncos’ game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be regionally televised on Fox. Denver is considered a road underdog in Week 3. Two players can be elevated from the practice squad each week.

Broncos officially sign pass rusher to practice squad

The Broncos officially signed outside linebacker Andrew Farmer to their practice squad on Wednesday.

The Denver Broncos have officially signed outside linebacker Andrew Farmer to their practice squad, the team announced Wednesday.

Farmer (6-4, 250 pounds) visited the team Tuesday and officially signed before Wednesday’s practice. The Broncos have been tracking Farmer for a while now. Denver met with Farmer at the 2023 Hula Bowl and he worked out for the team earlier this month.

After going undrafted out of Lane College last spring, Farmer signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as a college free agent. Splitting time between the practice squad and active roster, Farmer appeared in eight games with the Chargers last season. He totaled three tackles on 60 snaps on defense. Farmer also played 48 snaps on special teams in 2023.

Before landing in Los Angeles, Farmer recorded 114 tackles, 17.5 sacks, five pass breakups and two forced fumbles from 2021-2022 at Lane College. The 24-year-old pass rusher will now get a chance to continue his NFL career in Denver.

Broncos cut pass rusher from injured reserve

The Broncos have waived OLB Ronnie Perkins from injured reserve.

The Denver Broncos have waived pass rusher Ronnie Perkins from injured reserve, via KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

Perkins (6-3, 253 pounds) was initially waived by the Broncos with an injury designation in August. After clearing waivers, he reverted to the team’s IR list. Denver has now reached an injury settlement with Perkins and he will be waived from IR to become a free agent.

The NFL’s transaction wire also listed Andrew Farmer as having visited the Broncos on Tuesday. Farmer is set to sign with the team’s practice squad, but that move will not become official until Wednesday.

The fact that Denver is bringing in Farmer to provide depth at outside linebacker might not be a good sign for the status of Baron Browning, who suffered a foot injury against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. We’ll find out more about Browning’s status following Wednesday’s practice when the Broncos release their first injury report of the week.

Broncos make first of several roster moves on deck this week

The Broncos are adding Andrew Farmer to their practice squad. More moves are on deck this week.

The Denver Broncos are signing pass rusher Andrew Farmer to their practice squad, KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis first reported on Tuesday. This marks the first of several roster moves on deck for the Broncos this week.

Denver will have to create a spot for Farmer on the practice squad, either by releasing another player or by promoting somebody from the practice squad to the active roster this week.

After losing right tackle Mike McGlinchey for “about a month” to a sprained MCL, the Broncos seem likely to place him on injured reserve. That would rule McGlinchey out for four games and open up a spot on the 53-man roster.

Denver has three offensive linemen on the 17-player practice squad. If they’re going to promote one of them to the active roster, Will Sherman would presumably be the top candidate. Sherman getting called up from the practice squad could create a spot for Farmer.

The potential McGlinchey and Sherman moves are just speculation at this point. Only the Farmer addition has been confirmed thus far. We’ll find out how the Broncos create a spot for Farmer in the next 48 hours.

Broncos work out pass rusher, release player from IR with settlement

The Broncos worked out Andrew Farmer on Friday and released Durell Nchami from IR with an injury settlement.

The Denver Broncos had dealings with a pair of pass rushers on Friday.

Denver brought in free agent Andrew Farmer for a workout, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. Farmer (6-4, 250 pounds) met with the Broncos at the Hula Bowl last year but went undrafted out of Lane College in 2023.

Farmer landed with the Los Angeles Chargers last year, initially on their practice squad, and later dressed for eight games. He recorded three tackles in those appearances, playing 60 snaps on defense and 48 snaps on special teams.

In addition to working out Farmer, Denver also reached an injury settlement with pass rusher Durell Nchami, according to KPRC-TV’s Aaron Wilson. Nchami (6-4, 258 pounds) was waived with an injury designation during roster cuts last week. After clearing waivers, he reverted to IR.

Had he remained on IR, Nchami would have been ineligible to play this season. After reaching an injury settlement with the Broncos, Nchami was released and he is now a free agent. Once healthy, it’s possible that Nchami could return to the team later this season.

Los Angeles mercifully ends their season on Sunday afternoon, matching up with a Chiefs team locked into the No. 3 seed in the AFC playoffs. Blaine Gabbert will start for Kansas City, his first start since 2018.

Here are a few storylines to track in the game.

Chargers sign 12 players to 2023 practice squad

WR Terrell Bynum

DT Jerrod Clark

DT Christian Covington

QB Max Duggan

WR Keelan Doss

EDGE Andrew Farmer

CB Matt Hankins

TE Hunter Kampmoyer

DT CJ Okoye (IPP)

G/T Austen Pleasants

Teams can have up to 16 players on their practice squad, but for the Bolts, they can have up to 17 players because they have an exemption to add Okoye as an extra player through the International Player Pathway Program.

Therefore, five more players will be added to round out the group.

Stay tuned for more information.

Projecting the Chargers’ 17-man practice squad

The Chargers can start constructing their practice squad on Wednesday. Here is who we think will make it.

The Chargers trimmed their roster to 53 on Tuesday, but the work in building the roster is not yet done. More moves will come before the opening of the season, beginning with the construction of LA’s practice squad on Wednesday afternoon.

While the NFL has a limit of 16 players on the practice squad, Los Angeles has an exemption to add defensive lineman CJ Okoye as a 17th player through the International Player Pathway Program. For that reason, this projection includes 17 players.
