Broncos’ practice squad set ahead of Week 1 showdown with Raiders

After signing inside linebacker Ben Niemann and releasing wide receiver Michael Bandy, the Denver Broncos have finalized their 17-player* practice squad for the 2023 NFL season.

Beginning with their Week 1 showdown against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Broncos can elevate two practice squad players to the game-day roster each week. Practice squad players can be elevated up to three times during the season without having to clear waivers to return to the practice squad after the game.
