Broncos waive 4 players to make room for UDFA signings

The Broncos waived four players on Monday.

After agreeing to terms with seven undrafted free agents, the Denver Broncos had to open up four spots on the 90-man offseason roster.

Denver waived safety Tyvis Powell, tight end Bug Howard and defensive linemen Deyon Sizer and Jay-Tee Tiuli, the team announced Monday.

Howard played in the AAF last spring and spent part of the 2019 season on the Broncos’ practice squad. Powell also spent time on the practice squad last season, as did Sizer and Tiuli.

Sizer played in one game last season, recording one tackle in a 23-3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in December.

After the draft, Denver signed quarterback Riley Neal, running back Levante Bellamy, offensive tackle Hunter Watts, cornerback Essang Bassey, safety Douglas Coleman III and wide receivers Zimari Manning and Kendall Hinton. Bassey was one of the top UDFAs available.

The Broncos also selected 10 players in this year’s NFL Draft.

Denver’s staff will now turn its attention toward the team’s virtual offseason program, which began Monday. Players will participate in virtual meetings and workouts with the team’s coaching staff.

Seeking DL depth, Broncos make more roster moves

The Broncos have promoted defensive lineman Deyon Sizer from the practice squad to the active roster.

The Denver Broncos confirmed Saturday that the team claimed defensive lineman Kyle Peko off the Indianapolis Colts’ practice squad and placed wide receiver Juwann Winfree (hamstring) on injured reserve.

The team also announced that defensive lineman Deyon Sizer was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. To make room for Sizer on the practice squad, Denver waived outside linebacker Ahmad Gooden. If he clears waivers, Gooden might be re-signed to the practice squad.

Sizer (6-4, 280 pounds) entered the league with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent out of Colorado State-Pueblo in May. He spent the first 13 weeks of the season on Denver’s practice squad. Sizer wears jersey No. 91.

The Broncos have ruled out defensive linemen DeMarcus Walker (ankle) and Adam Gotsis (knee) for Week 15 and Dre’Mont Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable on the injury report. Sizer will help provide more depth.

The Broncos’ 53-man roster and 10-man practice squad are now full.
