Broncos cut running back who totaled 132 yards and scored TD in preseason finale
The Broncos cut running back Cody Schrader after he totaled 132 yards from scrimmage and scored a touchdown in their preseason finale.
The Denver Broncos have released running back Cody Schrader, the team confirmed on Sunday. The 26-year-old, standing at 5-9 and weighing 214 pounds, made an impact during the preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings, accumulating 132 total yards from scrimmage. He contributed six receptions for 90 yards and scored a touchdown.
Despite his performance, Schrader's 132 yards did not secure him a place on the Broncos' active roster. Over his NFL career, Schrader has been on the roster of five different teams since being drafted undrafted as a free agent from Missouri in 2024. He will now join the waiver wire. J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, and Jonah Coleman are expected to be the top three running backs for the Broncos during the upcoming season, with Tyler Badie also part of the 53-man squad.
Schrader might find a spot on the team's practice squad, though Schrader's Instagram post appeared to signal his departure from Broncos Country, indicating a farewell.
