15 players on the roster bubble going into Broncos’ first preseason game

The Denver Broncos are going into preseason with a 90-man offseason roster. By Aug. 29, the Broncos will have to trim down to a 53-man roster.

Between now and that late August roster deadline, Denver will play three preseason games, starting with Friday’s showdown with the Arizona Cardinals. Going into their preseason opener, the Broncos have several players who appear to be on the roster bubble.

These 15 players could have their roster fate decided by their performance during preseason this summer. The list is highlighted by tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, a former fourth-round pick, and both of the team’s kickers who are in a competition to win the job this summer.

Here is a quick look at our list of 15 players who will need to impress during preseason if they’re going to make the team.
