Broncos Cut Veteran Safety Rapp Amid Roster Shakeup
27 Aug
Summary
- Broncos made four roster moves on Wednesday before the deadline.
- Safety Taylor Rapp was surprisingly cut after signing last week.
- The team aims to finalize its 53-man roster after Friday's game.
The Denver Broncos have begun trimming their roster in anticipation of the upcoming 53-man deadline. As of Wednesday, the team made four significant roster moves, including the signings of defensive lineman Israel Antwine and offensive tackle Foster Sarell. To accommodate these additions, the Broncos released safety Taylor Rapp and wide receiver Kyre Duplessis.
The release of Taylor Rapp, who had only joined the team the previous week, came as a surprise, especially following positive remarks from both head coach Sean Payton and defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. Payton clarified that Rapp is currently addressing a personal matter and may be considered for a return once resolved.
These transactions bring the Broncos' offseason roster to its maximum of 91 players. This full roster will be present for Friday's preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings. Following this final exhibition game, the team will proceed to establish its initial 53-man roster for the 2026 regular season.
