Giants elevate CB Art Green, LB Ty Summers from practice squad

The New York Giants have elevated LB Ty Summers and CB Art Green from their practice squad ahead of a Week 3 game.

The New York Giants have elevated cornerback Art Green and linebacker Ty Summers from their practice squad ahead of a Week 3 game against the Cleveland Browns.

Kicker Jude McAtamney was not elevated or signed to the active roster, meaning Greg Joseph has won the week-long competition and will start in place of Graham Gano (IR) on Sunday.

The Giants signed the 28-year-old Summers to their practice squad in late August and he’s been elevated in each of the first three weeks. Now out of standard elevations, the team will have to sign him to the 53-man roster if they want to use him on gameday again.

Like Summers, the Giants signed the 24-year-old Green to their practice squad in late August — one day after Summers. This is his first standard elevation and he has two remaining.

In Week 2, the Giants elevated linebacker Tomon Fox alongside Summers. He has two standard elevations remaining.

In Week 1, the Giants elevated linebacker Carter Coughlin and Summers. Coughlin suffered a pectoral injury against the Minnesota Vikings and has since been placed on injured reserve (IR).

For the first time this season, the Giants will enter a game with their full 53-man roster and two practice squad elevations.

Broncos officially announce first 8 roster cuts

The Broncos officially announced their first eight roster cuts as the team approaches a 53-man roster.

The Denver Broncos took their first eight steps toward finalizing a 53-man roster on Monday.

First, the Broncos released three veterans: defensive lineman Angelo Blackson, wide receiver Phillip Dorsett and inside linebacker Andre Smith. Those players will not be subject to the NFL’s waiver wire.

Second, the team waived five young players: safety Omar Brown, cornerback Art Green, defensive back Kaleb Hayes, offensive lineman Oliver Jervis and inside linebacker Alec Mock.

Those are the first eight official cuts among 38 moves on deck in Denver. The Broncos confirmed those cuts on Monday.

It was not announced by the club, but the team also informed punter Trenton Gill that he will be waived. The fact that the Gill cut is not yet official suggests Denver might be looking to trade the punter ahead of the roster cuts deadline.

The Broncos also made decisions on wide receiver Tim Patrick and running back Samaje Perine on Monday. Denver will look to trade both Patrick and Perine. If they are unable to find trade partners, the Broncos will release those veterans before submitting a 53-man roster on Tuesday.

We are tracking all of the team’s roster moves on Broncos Wire.

Broncos injuries: 2 players held out of Thursday’s practice

Broncos cornerbacks Art Green (concussion) and Levi Wallace (hamstring) were held out of Thursday’s practice.

The Denver Broncos had two players held out of practice on Thursday. Additionally, one player returned and one player left the session.

Broncos tight end Lucas Krull (toe) returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday’s session. Denver receiver Devaughn Vele went into the locker room with training staff during practice. Vele “checked out fine” after practice, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

Broncos cornerbacks Art Green (concussion) and Levi Wallace (hamstring) were the only active-roster players not in pads on Thursday. After yesterday’s practice, coach Sean Payton indicated Green will sit out this week but will likely return for the team’s preseason finale next week.

“I don’t want to use the word a mild concussion, but the symptom scores are better for him,” Payton said of Green. “There’s a good chance that he won’t go this week and then we feel strongly he’ll be ready to go next week.”

In addition to injured players, the Broncos also held out cornerback Pat Surtain and defensive linemen Zach Allen, John Franklin-Myers and Eyioma Uwazurike in their preseason opener. All four should play this week.

“[W]e have a number of guys that didn’t play in the game,” Payton said. “I don’t want to go through them all, but we feel somewhat positive that all of them will be involved this week and getting work against Green Bay.”

Meanwhile, linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) remain on the physically unable to perform list.

Broncos injuries: 4 players not practicing

1. DB Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL; PUP)

Broncos injuries: 3 players return to practice

There’s good news on the injury front for the Broncos this week as three players returned to practice.

There’s mixed news on the injury front for the Denver Broncos going into the second week of preseason.

Broncos guard Ben Powers (ribs) had X-rays come back negative on Monday, but he did not practice Wednesday. Tight end Lucas Krull (toe) was also held out of practice.

Cornerback Art Green (head) has entered the NFL’s concussion protocol and did not practice, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

Meanwhile, Denver pass rusher Nik Bonitto (back) returned to practice after sitting out the team’s preseason opener. Safety Brandon Jones (hamstring) and linebacker Justin Strnad (groin) also returned to practice.

Cornerback Levi Wallace (hamstring) remains sidelined. Meanwhile, linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) remain on the physically unable to perform list.

We haven’t seen an update on the status of rookie guard Nick Gargiulo, who has been hindered by an undisclosed injury.

Broncos injuries: 6 players not practicing

1. DB Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL; PUP)
2. LB Drew Sanders (Achilles; PUP)
3. CB Levi Wallace (hamstring)
4. CB Art Green (concussion)
5. OG Ben Powers (ribs)

Broncos injuries: MRI and X-ray updates after preseason opener

X-rays came back negative for Ben Powers’ ribs. Broncos TE Lucas Krull (toe) and CB Art Green (head) got MRIs. We’ll know more tomorrow.

Three Denver Broncos players who were banged up in the team’s preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday underwent testing on Monday.

Broncos guard Ben Powers had an X-ray on his ribs after he collided with Samaje Perine while attempting to tackle a Colts player on an interception return on Sunday. That MRI came back negative, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. Even bruised ribs can be a big hindrance, though, so we’ll be tracking Powers’ status this week.

Denver tight end Lucas Krull had an MRI on his toe that was injured on the Indianapolis turf. “There’s hope he will be no more than day to day,” according to Klis. It’s unclear what exactly the injury is, but coach Sean Payton did not seem to think it was serious after Sunday’s game.

Broncos cornerback Art Green left Sunday’s game after being evaluated for a possible concussion. Green had an MRI on his “head area” on Monday, according to Klis. The team has not confirmed if Green suffered a concussion.

We’ll have a better idea of the statuses of those three players when Denver returns to the practice field and Payton meets the media on Wednesday.

Broncos injuries: 2 players injured vs. Colts

Broncos tight end Lucas Krull injured his toe against the Colts on Sunday.

A pair of Denver Broncos players went down with injuries in the team’s preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Broncos tight end Lucas Krull left in the third quarter with a toe injury. Denver coach Sean Payton indicated after the game that Krull’s injury is not serious. Before his exit, Krull hauled in four receptions for 31 yards.

Broncos cornerback Art Green was evaluated for a possible concussion in the third quarter and was also ruled out. He posted one tackle before leaving the game.

Denver guard Ben Powers is “plenty sore” after he collided with running back Samaje Perine on Sunday, but his X-rays came back negative, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. Even with a negative X-ray, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Broncos give Powers a lighter load to close out preseason.

Denver went into the game with seven other players inactive due to injuries. DB Brandon Jones (hamstring), CB Levi Wallace (hamstring), ILB Justin Strnad (groin), OLB Nik Bonitto (back), OL Nick Gargiulo (undisclosed), DB Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) and LB Drew Sanders (Achilles) were among 11 Broncos players who did not suit up on Sunday.

After beating the Colts 34-30 on the road, the Broncos will return home to face the Green Bay Packers next week.

Broncos roster series: No. 28, CB Art Green

After spending most of last season on the practice squad, Broncos second-year cornerback Art Green will aim to impress at training camp.

Broncos Wire’s 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at second-year cornerback Art Green, No. 28.

Before the Broncos: Green (6-1, 201 pounds) started his college career with the Hutchinson Blue Dragons, a junior college in Hutchinson, Kansas. After two years at the JUCO level, Green joined the Houston Cougars in 2020. He went on to spend three seasons in Houston, totaling 78 tackles, 12 pass breakups and three interceptions in 34 games.

Broncos tenure: Denver signed Green as an undrafted free agent last spring. After failing to make the 53-man roster as a rookie, Green was signed to the team’s practice squad. He was promoted to the active roster for the Broncos’ season finale but was inactive on game day.

Chances to make the 53-man roster: Low. After not appearing in any games last season, Green is likely competing for a spot on the practice squad again this summer. Anything can happen at training camp, but Green will face long odds to make the active roster in 2024.

Broncos signed 3 players after last year’s East-West Shrine Bowl

After playing in the 2023 East-West Shrine Bowl, OT Alex Palczewski, CB Art Green and DL PJ Mustipher later signed with the Broncos.

The 2024 East-West Shrine Bowl will be played in Texas tonight and the Denver Broncos will have scouts and coaches in attendance.

Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb will serve as the West team’s offensive coordinator, giving him a great opportunity to get a close look at the draft prospects participating in this year’s college all-star game.

Last year, Denver signed three players who participated in the 2023 East-West Shrine Bowl as college free agents: offensive tackle Alex Palczewski (East), cornerback Art Green (East) and defensive lineman PJ Mustipher (West).

Palczewski made the initial 53-man roster but spent most of his rookie season on injured reserve before being activated for the final game of the year. Green spent most of the 2023 campaign on the practice squad before being elevated to the game-day roster in Week 18. The New Orleans Saints signed Mustipher off the Broncos’ practice squad last December.
