After setting an initial 53-man roster on Tuesday, the Denver Broncos have not yet released an updated depth chart. So we’re doing it for them.
This is our best guess of how the depth chart will shake out following roster cuts. Denver is thin at guard, but center Alex Forsyth and tackle Matt Peart can both fill in there if needed. Right now, we have Josh Reynolds penciled in as the No. 2 receiver across from Courtland Sutton, but we’ll see how coach Sean Payton handles it.
There aren’t really any question marks on defense because the team’s roster cuts (and injuries) helped sort out the position battles. So here is our predicted depth chart for Denver ahead of Week 1.
Keep in mind that this is a projection, not an official depth chart from the team. We will publish the official depth chart when the Broncos release it.
