Broncos’ depth chart for Colts game

Here’s a look at the Broncos’ updated depth chart going into Colts game.

After beating the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football in Week 13 and having a bye in Week 14, the Denver Broncos are now set to host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15.

The most notable changes to the updated depth chart this week are Zach Cunningham being listed behind Justin Strnad at inside linebacker, and Drew Sanders being added to the outside linebacker room. There was some uncertainty about whether Sanders would play as an OLB or ILB after returning from the physically unable to perform list.

Following those two additions, here’s a look at the Broncos’ depth chart going into the Colts game.

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 17-player practice squad

  1. RB Blake Watson
  2. WR Michael Bandy
  3. WR David Sills
  4. WR A.T. Perry
  5. TE Donald Parham
  6. TE Thomas Yassmin
  7. OT Cam Fleming
  8. OL Nick Garguilo
  9. OL Calvin Throckmorton
  10. DT Jordan Miller
  11. DL Matt Henningsen
  12. OLB Andrew Farmer
  13. LB K.J. Cloyd
  14. CB Reese Taylor
  15. DB Quinton Newsome
  16. DB Tanner McCalister
  17. DB Keidron Smith 

Two players can be elevated from the practice squad to the game-day roster each week.

This is how the Broncos’ depth chart shakes out going into ‘Monday Night Football’ against the Browns.

After making five roster moves last week, the Denver Broncos have updated their depth chart ahead of a Monday Night Football clash with the Cleveland Browns in Week 13.

Broncos’ updated 17-player practice squad after roster moves

The Broncos made a change to their practice squad this week. Here’s a look at the updated 17-player squad.

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

The roster shuffling started on Tuesday when the team waived offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton from the 53-man roster. Throckmorton cleared waivers on Wednesday and re-signed on the practice squad.

To make room for Throckmorton, Denver promoted linebacker Zach Cunningham from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.

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 17-player practice squad

  1. RB Blake Watson
  2. WR Michael Bandy
  3. WR David Sills
  4. WR A.T. Perry
  5. TE Donald Parham
  6. TE Thomas Yassmin
  7. OT Cam Fleming
  8. OL Nick Garguilo
  9. OL Calvin Throckmorton
  10. DT Jordan Miller
  11. DL Matt Henningsen
  12. OLB Andrew Farmer
  13. LB Kwon Alexander
  14. CB Reese Taylor
  15. DB Quinton Newsome
  16. DB Tanner McCalister
  17. DB Keidron Smith 

Two players can be elevated from the practice squad to the game-day roster each week.

Recapping the 5 roster moves Broncos made this week

Greg Dulcich out, Drew Sanders back, Zach Cunningham up and Calvin Throckmorton down. The Broncos have been busy with roster moves.

The Denver Broncos have been busy with transactions this week.

The moves started on Monday when the Broncos waived tight end Greg Dulcich, who was picked up by the New York Giants one day later.

To fill Dulcich’s old spot on the 53-man roster, Denver activated linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) from the physically unable to perform list. Sanders is now back on the active roster.

The cuts continued on Tuesday when the Broncos waived offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton. That move was made to make room for linebacker Zach Cunningham to be promoted from the practice squad on Wednesday.

Throckmorton cleared waivers on Wednesday and he is now set to re-sign with the team’s practice squad.

Now the team will have to make a decision on wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger). If he is not activated from injured reserve before Dec. 4, Reynolds will spend the rest of the season on IR.

Broncos roster moves this week

  1. TE Greg Dulcich cut from 53-man roster
  2. LB Drew Sanders activated from PUP list
  3. OL Calvin Throckmorton cut from 53-man roster
  4. LB Zach Cunningham promoted to 53-man roster
  5. OL Calvin Throckmorton signed to practice squad

Denver is preparing to host the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football in Week 13. That game will be nationally televised on ESPN.

Broncos sign linebacker to 53-man roster

The Broncos promoted LB Zach Cunningham from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Wednesday.

After waiving offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton from the 53-man roster on Tuesday, the Denver Broncos filled his former spot on the active roster on Wednesday.

The Broncos have promoted linebacker Zach Cunningham from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, the team announced. Throckmorton, meanwhile, cleared waivers on Wednesday and he is set to re-sign with the practice squad officially on Thursday.

Throckmorton and Cunningham have essentially swapped places on the active roster and practice squad this week. Cunningham was out of practice squad elevations, as was fellow inside linebacker Kwon Alexander.

Denver’s active roster is now full, which presumably means wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) will not be activated from injured reserve this week. The Broncos have to make a decision on Reynolds before Dec. 4. If he is not activated to the 53-man roster before that deadline, Reynolds will spend the rest of the season on injured reserve.

Speaking of injuries, Denver was not required to release an injury report on Wednesday because the team plays on Monday in Week 13. Broncos coach Sean Payton declined to provide an injury update after Wednesday’s practice, so there’s no word yet on the statuses of cornerback Riley Moss and defensive lineman Zach Allen.
