The Denver Broncos finalized their 53-man roster at the 2 pm MT deadline yesterday. There were a few surprises, but that is always the case with these things. Next, the Broncos are filling out their 16-man practice squad.
The practice squad rules are the same as last year. They can hold up to 16 players. 10 of those players must have two years or fewer of NFL experience. The remaining six can be NFL veterans who do not meet the qualifications under the old rules. So, we could see a few veterans signed back to the practice squad, and we already have reports of a few expected to sign back with the Broncos.
As for waiver claims, the order follows the NFL Draft. The Broncos had the 30th overall pick, so they will be 30th in the waiver order. We’ll see whether they decide to put any claims on players. If players go unclaimed, they become free agents and are eligible to sign on to a practice squad.
