Mac McCain, Cornerback

Another position the Broncos were heavy at was cornerback and the players who will make the roster seem pretty much wrapped up with Kyle Fuller, Ronald Darby, Patrick Surtain, Bryce Callahan and Michael Ojemudia.

Ojedmudia suffered a hamstring injury and is expected to miss four to six weeks, so that could open the door for someone. The team still has Essang Bassey, who has been on the PUP list and if the team keeps another guy that could come down to either Nate Hairston, Parnell Motley or Kary Vincent Jr.

Mac McCain just has not been able to do much this offseason due to a hamstring injury of his own and when he was in practice, he was routinely picked on by both Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater.

Saivion Smith is another name you could see pop up here and that would make sense, but McCain is not going to make this team and there is a chance he is released here.
