With the Denver Broncos set to announce their training camp schedule this week, it’s time for an updated 53-man roster prediction ahead of the summer.
The most notable change from our last prediction is bumping Zach Wilson from QB2 down to the practice squad. Wilson seemingly fell behind Jarrett Stidham and Bo Nix during spring practices and it’s hard to imagine him making a big leap during training camp.
We also took veteran Sam Mustipher off the 53-man roster, projecting Alex Forsyth to win the starting center job with Luke Wattenberg and rookie Nick Gargiulo serving as backup swing linemen.
A notable practice squad offensive tackle is Frank Crum, who likely has a decent shot to make the 53-man roster.
One of the hardest positions to make cuts at is wide receiver, with Lil’Jordan Humphrey, Jalen Virgil, Brandon Johnson and Devaughn Vele all missing out in this prediction. Any of them could end up making the team.
On defense, linebacker Drew Sanders (Achilles) is expected to begin the season on injured reserve. We have pass rusher Thomas Incoom on the practice squad in this projection, but he could make a strong case for the active roster this summer.
With those notes in mind, here’s a look at our latest Broncos 53-man roster prediction ahead of training camp.
