Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad after roster moves

Michael Burton up, Keidron Smith down. Here’s a look at the Broncos’ updated practice squad.

The Denver Broncos made a change to their practice squad this week.

The first domino fell on Tuesday when the Broncos waived safety Keidron Smith from the active roster. Denver then promoted fullback Michael Burton from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Wednesday.

After he cleared waivers, Smith re-joined the team on the practice squad on Thursday. Burton and Smith essentially swapped places this week.

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.

Chargers have one former Bronco set to face his old team

After being cut by the Broncos this summer, center Sam Mustipher joined the division rival Chargers.

The Los Angeles Chargers are traveling to Colorado this week and they’re bringing one former Denver Broncos player to potentially face off against his old team.

After he was cut by the Broncos in August, center Sam Mustipher signed with the Chargers’ practice squad. He was elevated to the game-day roster for L.A.’s last game and started at center, playing 56 snaps. It’s unclear if he’ll start again this week, but Mustipher seems likely to at least dress for the game.

Mustipher competed with Luke Wattenberg and Alex Forsyth for Denver’s starting center job this summer. Wattenberg ended up winning the job and Forsyth made the team as the primary backup. Mustipher then joined a division rival instead of re-signing with the Broncos’ practice squad.

Denver also has a pair of former Chargers on its practice squad: pass rusher Andrew Farmer and tight end Donald Parham. Neither player has appeared in a game for the Broncos so far this season.

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.
