26 candidates for the Broncos' practice squad

After roster cuts, the Broncos can build a 16- or 17-player practice squad. Here are some potential candidates.

The Denver Broncos recently concluded their preseason games, leading to a reduction of their roster from 91 players to the standard 53-man team for the 2026 season. This necessitates at least 38 roster moves this weekend. Following the cuts on Sunday, teams will begin waiver claims on Monday. Once these are processed, clubs can then assemble their practice squads of 16 or 17 players, with the option of including a 17th player if they are international.

For the Denver Broncos, the practice squad will primarily consist of players with limited NFL experience. However, up to six veteran players can also be part of the squad. While not every potential candidate will make it onto the practice squad, some may find their way onto the active roster or secure a position elsewhere.

Among the candidates for Denver's practice squad are quarterbacks Sam Ehlinger, fullback Adam Prentice, running backs Tyler Badie, Jaleel McLaughlin, Cody Schrader, wide receivers Lil Jordan Humphrey, Michael Bandy, Cam Ross, and Kolbe Katsis, tight ends Lucas Krull, Dallen Bentley, and Caleb Lohner, offensive linemen Calvin Throckmorton, Matt Peart, Tyler Miller, and Gavin Ortega, linebackers Jordan Miller, Johnny Walker, Dasan McCullough, and Ron Stone Jr., defensive linemen Taurean York, defensive backs Brent Austin, Sean Fresch, Tycen Anderson, and Miles Scott, and safety Parker Robertson.

The Denver Broncos will closely monitor all roster moves and practice squad transactions as they progress. Stay updated with Broncos Wire for the latest developments. Social media: Follow Broncos Wire on Facebook and Twitter/X.
