The Denver Broncos waived rookie linebacker Levelle Bailey last week to make room for special teams linebacker Kristian Welch on the 53-man roster. One day later, Bailey cleared waivers and news broke that he would return to the team on their practice squad.
Denver officially announced Bailey’s signing on Monday and the 17-player practice squad is now set for the 2024 NFL season.
The NFL has a standard practice squad size limit of 16 players, but there’s an exception that allows an extra international player to not count against the limit. For the Broncos, Australian tight end Thomas Yassmin is an exception, giving Denver a 17-player practice squad.
So here’s the full list of 17 players on the squad for the 2024 season.
