Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad with new linebacker

After adding K.J. Cloyd, here’s a look at the Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad.

After losing linebacker Kwon Alexander to the Detroit Lions, the Denver Broncos filled his former spot on the practice squad by signing K.J. Cloyd on Tuesday.

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 the recent moves.

Broncos elevate 2 players from practice squad, including an ex-Saints linebacker

The Broncos elevated ex-Saints LB Kwon Alexander and OL Calvin Throckmorton from the practice squad to the game-day roster ahead of ‘TNF.’

Sean Payton isn’t the only former Saint facing his former team tonight.

The Denver Broncos have elevated inside linebacker Kwon Alexander and offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton from the practice squad to the active roster for a Thursday Night Football showdown with the New Orleans Saints, the team announced Thursday.

Players can be elevated up to three times during the season without having to clear waivers to return to the practice squad. This marks the second elevation for Throckmorton and the first for Alexander, a former Saint.

Throckmorton will provide more depth at center after Luke Wattenberg (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. Alexander will serve as a backup linebacker and special teams player after the Broncos parted ways with Kristian Welch earlier this week.

Alexander and Throckmorton will revert back to the practice squad following Thursday’s game. Denver also re-signed defensive back Tanner McCalister to the practice squad today.

The Broncos’ game against the Saints will be streamed exclusively on Amazon’s Prime Video. Playing on the road, Denver is considered a slight underdog in Week 7.

Broncos elevate 2 players from practice squad for Chargers game

The Broncos elevated OT Cam Fleming and G/C Calvin Throckmorton from the practice squad to the game-day roster for Week 6.

The Denver Broncos have elevated offensive tackle Cam Fleming and guard/center Calvin Throckmorton from the practice squad to the game-day roster for Sunday’s showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers, the team announced Saturday.

Players can be elevated up to three times during the season without having to clear waivers to return to the practice squad. This marks the first elevations for both Throckmorton and Fleming (who was just signed earlier this week).

With right tackle Alex Palczewski (ankle) ruled out this week and Mike McGlinchey still on injured reserve, Fleming will likely serve as a backup swing tackle against the Chargers. Throckmorton will provide more depth at center after Luke Wattenberg (ankle) was placed on injured reserve.

Throckmorton and Fleming will revert back to the practice squad on Monday.

Denver’s game against Los Angeles will be regionally televised on CBS. Despite playing at home with a three-game winning streak, the Broncos are considered underdogs against the Chargers this week.

Broncos place practice squad OT Will Sherman on injury list

The offensive line injuries keep coming for the Denver Broncos.

The Broncos placed backup offensive tackle Will Sherman (ankle) on the team’s practice squad injury list on Tuesday, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. The injury happened during practice last week.

Sherman (6-4, 300 pounds) joined the Broncos in 2022 after previously competing on the practice squad of the New England Patriots in 2021. He spent last season on Denver’s practice squad and is yet to make his NFL debut.

The Broncos also lost fill-in starting right tackle Alex Palczewski and starting center Luke Wattenberg to ankle injuries this week. Denver signed tackle Cam Fleming and center Dieter Eiselen to the practice squad to add more depth while Palczewski and Wattenberg are sidelined.

Broncos right tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) will be eligible to return from injured reserve next week. In the meantime, Matt Peart (right tackle) and Alex Forsyth (center) are likely the next men up on the offensive line.
