Broncos making roster moves ahead of Packers game
The Denver Broncos will have made several changes to the 53-man roster by the time Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers arrives.
The Broncos already made two roster moves earlier this week when wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster and fellow receiver Michael Bandy was re-signed to the practice squad on Wednesday.
Bandy was cut from the practice squad last week to make room for Humphrey, who was cut from the active roster to make room for tight end Greg Dulcich to come off injured reserve.
After the team cut pass rusher Frank Clark, Humphrey is now back on the active roster and Bandy is back on the practice squad. Looking ahead, the Broncos likely have two more roster moves on deck ahead of Sunday’s game against the Packers.
Denver is expected to elevate pass rusher Baron Browning (knee) from the reserve/physically unable to perform list to the 53-man roster. To do so, the Broncos will need to create a spot on the roster for Browning.
One potential way Denver could open up a spot would be to place Dulcich back on injured reserve after he suffered another hamstring injury in Week 6. Dulcich going on IR and Browning returning to the active roster are two potential moves to watch for this weekend.
Two other players to keep an eye on are running back Hassan Hall and tight end John Samuel Shenker, who tired out for the team on Tuesday. Neither player has been signed at the time of publication, but they might be considered for the practice squad or reserve/future contracts later this season.
Promoted to active roster: WR Lil'Jordan Humphrey
Re-signed to practice squad: WR Michael Bandy
Candidate to return from PUP list: OLB Baron Browning
Browning has not yet been activated at the time of publication, but signs seem to point to his likely return this weekend.
Candidate to go on injured reserve: TE Greg Dulcich
Dulcich has not been officially placed on IR at the time of publication, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see such a move happen this weekend.
Tried out for team: RB Hassan Hall
Tried out for team: TE John Samuel Shenker
