Broncos build 17-player practice squad, target overlooked talent
31 Aug
Summary
- Broncos can now submit waiver claims for players cut by other teams.
- A 17th international player, David Agoha, is expected to join the squad.
- Potential practice squad targets include WR Cam Ross and OLB Johnny Walker.
After finalizing their initial 53-man roster, the Denver Broncos are now able to submit waiver claims for players released by other NFL teams. This move sets the stage for the team to begin assembling its practice squad. The league permits a 16-player practice squad, with an additional 17th spot reserved for an international player through the International Player Pathway program.
The Broncos are anticipated to use this international slot for Nigerian outside linebacker David Agoha. This inclusion means Denver will likely have a 17-player practice squad for the upcoming season. Following the processing of waiver claims on Monday, the team will focus on identifying and signing players to fill these remaining practice squad positions.
