The Denver Broncos need to trim the roster from 85 gamers all the way down to 80 gamers earlier than 2:00 p.m. MT on Tuesday. Right here’s our fast prediction on which 5 gamers might be lower this week.
CB Donnie Lewis Jr.: He performed the fewest snaps (5) amongst Denver’s cornerbacks on Saturday.
OL Michael Niese: The Broncos have a variety of depth at guard and whereas Niese could be a follow squad candidate, he’s unlikely to make the 53-man roster.
OLB Jonathan Kongbo: Just like guard, Denver has a crowded exterior linebacker depth chart, and Kongbo will face lengthy odds to make the lively roster.
DB J.R. Reed: Justin Simmons and Kareem Jackson are locks at security. Caden Sterns and P.J. Locke have been glorious this summer time, and they need to be locks, too. Delarrin Turner-Yell is a fifth-round decide, so that can assist his case. The Broncos appear not possible to hold six safeties.
WR Trey Quinn: Earlier than his fumble on Saturday, Quinn was having a high quality summer time, however Denver has extra receivers on the roster (11) than another place, and Quinn could be the odd man out.
After making 5 cuts Tuesday, the Broncos will face the Minnesota Vikings of their preseason finale on Saturday. After that, Denver could have till the next Tuesday (Aug. 30) to finalize a 53-man roster.
