Even after making a flurry of roster cuts on Tuesday to get down to an initial 53-man roster, the Denver Broncos aren’t done making moves just yet.
The Broncos have at least three more moves on deck Wednesday. Denver general manager George Paton said after Tuesday’s practice that three players who make the initial 53-man roster will be placed on injury lists on Wednesday.
Paton did not specifically say which players will go on injured reserve, but candidates include cornerback K’Waun Williams (ankle), safety P.J. Locke (leg), cornerback Riley Moss (core muscle surgery) and offensive tackle Alex Palczewski (hand).
Players who go on injured reserve after the initial 53-man roster is set have to sit out at least the first four games of the season. Paton said wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) will not be one of the three players going on IR.
The Broncos are also moving outside linebacker Baron Browning (knee) to the reserve/physically unable to perform list.
The players who go on injury lists Wednesday will no longer count against the 53-man roster, allowing Denver to fill those open roster spots. The Broncos will have opportunities to claim players off waivers on Wednesday, and bringing back a few of their in-house cuts could be in play as well.
