Broncos elevate 2 players from practice squad for Ravens game

The Broncos have elevated LB Kwon Alexander and FB Michael Burton from the practice squad to the game-day roster for Week 9.

The Denver Broncos are calling up some reinforcements from the practice squad ahead of their Week 9 showdown with the Baltimore Ravens.

The Broncos elevated linebacker Kwon Alexander and fullback Michael Burton from the practice squad to the game-day roster on Saturday. They will revert back to the practice squad on Monday.

Players can be elevated up to three times during the season without having to clear waivers to return to the practice squad. This will mark Alexander’s third and final practice squad elevation. He’s likely a candidate to be fully promoted to the 53-man roster next week. This is Burton’s second practice squad elevation in 2024.

Alexander rotates with Justin Strand at linebacker next to Cody Barton. Burton was cut from the active roster on Friday and re-signed to the practice squad on Saturday before being elevated to the game-day roster. He’ll continue serving as the team’s fullback.

Broncos sign familiar face to practice squad

After being cut from the 53-man roster on Friday, fullback Michael Burton signed with the Broncos’ practice squad on Saturday.

The Denver Broncos signed veteran fullback Michael Burton to their practice squad on Saturday, the team announced.

Burton, 32, was released from the 53-man roster on Friday to make room for offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton to be promoted from the practice squad to the active roster.

Throckmorton will serve as the team’s backup center behind Alex Forsyth against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. After re-joining the team on the practice squad, Burton was immediately elevated to the game-day roster for Week 9, so he’ll also play against the Ravens this weekend.

Burton started the season on Denver’s practice squad and he was elevated to the game-day roster in Week 1. This will mark his second elevation of the season. The Broncos can elevate Burton from the practice squad one more time in 2024. He will likely end up back on the 53-man roster later this season.

Burton has played 149 snaps on special teams and 80 snaps on offense this fall. Used primarily as a blocker, Burton has totaled five receptions for 40 yards through eight games this season.

Broncos cut player from offense ahead of Ravens game

The Broncos cut FB Michael Burton from the 53-man roster on Friday. He’s expected to return on the practice squad.

Story update: The Broncos re-signed Mike Burton to the practice squad on Saturday. He was then elevated from the practice squad to the game-day roster for Week 9. See our original post below.

The Denver Broncos have released fullback Michael Burton ahead of their game against the Baltimore Ravens, according to the NFL’s transaction wire (via multiple reports).

Burton, 32, is a vested veteran, so he’ll become a free agent immediately without having to clear the waiver wire. The Broncos plan to re-sign him to the practice squad, presumably on Saturday.

Denver needed to open up a spot on the active roster for offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton, who was out of practice squad elevations. Throckmorton was promoted to the 53-man roster on Friday and he will serve as the team’s backup center against the Ravens on Sunday.

Burton started the season on Denver’s practice squad and he was elevated to the game-day roster in Week 1. He is also expected to be elevated this week. The fullback would then be eligible to be elevated one more time this season.

NFL teams can elevate two players from the practice squad each week, but each player is limited to three elevations per season.

Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad after flurry of roster moves

Here’s a look at the Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad following a flurry of roster moves this week.

The Denver Broncos made a flurry of roster moves this week, including seven changes to the practice squad.

First, the Broncos promoted inside linebacker Levelle Bailey from the practice squad to the active roster. To fill Bailey’s former spot, Denver signed wide receiver A.T. Perry.

The Broncos also signed offensive tackle Cam Fleming, center Dieter Eiselen and wide receiver Kaden Davis to the practice squad. To make room for those three players, Denver released running back Salvon Ahmed and defensive back Quinton Newsome and placed offensive tackle Will Sherman on the practice squad/injured list.

The 17-player practice squad and 53-man roster are now both full.

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.
