The Denver Broncos await the green light to begin on-field work. Which players are most hurt by the restrictions?

Football activities are supposed to be getting underway, but with the restrictions across the world, including NFL cities, things have been put on hold. This, unfortunately, affects the Denver Broncos and players who are trying to earn their spot somewhere on the roster.

As per usual, teams can have 90 players on the roster right now and would have to cut down to a maximum of 55 before the regular season. There are players who are longshots and others who have a much better shot at making the team, even if they have to work for it.

The Broncos have a number of undrafted free agents who could have a decent chance at making the squad, with some question marks at some positions on the roster.

There will absolutely be competition for those spots, but as of right now, the players cannot fight for them on the field. When teams are allowed to hit the field and proceed remains to be seen. Dates and deadlines could continue to be pushed back. As of right now, they will have to continue evaluating things and go from there.

The restrictions are likely hurting some players’ chances of making the roster in 2020. Here are a couple of players who could be affected the most.
