Last Spot/The Rest

I named nine specific players on this list, but there are likely plenty more the Broncos would like to have back on the practice squad.

De’Angelo Henderson wasn’t listed because I view him as such an unlikely candidate to clear waivers.

The Broncos are also probably interested in bringing defensive lineman Kyle Peko back. So Peko could very well replace DeShawn Williams on this list.

River Cracraft could replace Isaiah McKenzie if McKenzie decides to go to another team. If the Broncos are unable to retain Brendan Langley, they could look to keep another player like C.J. Smith or go after a player like Bengals roster casualty KeiVarae Russell, who would be a fun fit in Denver’s defense.

Next. Broncos set 53-man roster. dark

It’s not always easy to bring in players to the practice squad from other teams, but the Broncos could also be a very likely landing spot for some tight ends looking for a favorable situation.
