Broncos release QB Ben DiNucci as roster movement begins ahead of rookie minicamp

The coming days figure to be busy and full of churn for the back part of the Broncos roster. The team started making moves by releasing quarterback Ben DiNucci, a move made official on the league's transaction wire Wednesday afternoon. The Broncos elevated him but then did not actually make him active on game day as a way to make sure he got three game checks after a team tried to poach him during the season. DiNucci, as it happens, signed with the Broncos a year ago after he tried out during the team's rookie minicamp.
