Broncos’ projected depth chart after roster cuts

Following roster cuts, here is our (projected) depth chart for the Broncos.

After setting an initial 53-man roster on Tuesday, the Denver Broncos have not yet released an updated depth chart. So we’re doing it for them.

This is our best guess of how the depth chart will shake out following roster cuts. Denver is thin at guard, but center Alex Forsyth and tackle Matt Peart can both fill in there if needed. Right now, we have Josh Reynolds penciled in as the No. 2 receiver across from Courtland Sutton, but we’ll see how coach Sean Payton handles it.

There aren’t really any question marks on defense because the team’s roster cuts (and injuries) helped sort out the position battles. So here is our predicted depth chart for Denver ahead of Week 1.

Keep in mind that this is a projection, not an official depth chart from the team. We will publish the official depth chart when the Broncos release it.

Broncos’ depth chart for preseason finale vs. Cardinals

This is the Broncos’ “unofficial” depth chart for their preseason finale against the Cardinals today.

The Denver Broncos did not update their depth chart ahead of their preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

Broncos coach Sean Payton named Bo Nix the starting quarterback earlier this week, but that decision is not yet reflected on the team’s “unofficial” depth chart. Perhaps that’s because Payton is not yet ready to name starters from the team’s other position battles.

Following the preseason finale, Denver will have until Aug. 27 to finalize a 53-man roster. While we wait for the roster cuts to begin, here’s the depth chart the Broncos have released for the final week of preseason:

Broncos haven’t updated depth chart ahead of preseason finale

The Broncos have not yet updated their depth chart, which might be a sign we’re not getting another update until after roster cuts.

The Denver Broncos have not updated their depth chart ahead of their preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

The biggest change, of course, should be Bo Nix being listed as QB1 after he was named the starting quarterback on Wednesday. The Broncos still haven’t updated their “unofficial” depth chart, though, perhaps because coach Sean Payton is not yet ready to declare starters in other position battles.

“We have some tough decisions as we get into the roster,” Payton said Wednesday. “I don’t want to get into all the other roster battles — that’s not for today — but Bo will start.”

Following the preseason finale, Denver will have until Aug. 27 to finalize a 53-man roster. While we wait for the roster cuts to begin, here’s the depth chart the Broncos have released for the final week of preseason:

Broncos depth chart for preseason game vs. Packers

Here is the Broncos’ “unofficial” depth chart for their preseason showdown with the Packers today.

The Denver Broncos unveiled their depth chart for a Week 2 preseason showdown with the Green Bay Packers earlier this week.

The depth chart will look familiar to anyone who paid attention to the team’s initial depth chart release last week. That’s because coach Sean Payton has not made any lineup changes since the original depth chart.

The only two changes are personnel revisions — defensive back Kaleb Hayes joined the team this week and outside linebacker Jaylon Allen was waived. Everyone else on the roster has the exact same placement as last week.

The Broncos will make changes to the depth chart eventually, but Payton is clearly in no rush to let fans and pundits (and opponents) know how the team’s players stack up after one week of preseason action.

Denver also calls it an “unofficial” depth chart, so there’s really not much to glean from it, but here it is nonetheless.

Broncos release depth chart for Week 2 of preseason

Broncos coach Sean Payton clearly is not a fan of preseason depth charts. See if you can spot any changes from last week.

The Denver Broncos have unveiled their depth chart ahead of a showdown with the Green Bay Packers in Week 2 of NFL preseason.

Broncos depth chart for Week 1 of preseason

Here is the Broncos’ depth chart for their preseason opener against the Colts today.

The Denver Broncos are set to face the Indianapolis Colts in their preseason opener on Sunday. Ahead of that matchup, the Broncos were required by NFL rules to release a depth chart.

Broncos coach Sean Payton followed the mandate, but he clearly did not take the depth chart very seriously. Every rookie on the team is listed last at their respective positions, including quarterback Bo Nix. Denver also calls it an “unofficial” depth chart despite it being sourced straight from the team.

So fans should keep in mind that this is an initial, “unofficial” depth chart that is subject to change in the coming weeks. Outside of the rookies, though, it seems to roughly show how the team’s players stack up going into preseason.
