The Denver Broncos are finalizing their 53-man roster by August 30. As they trim down, several players may be at risk of being cut and subsequently picked up by other teams. Notable names include OLB Drew Sanders, CB Reese Taylor, and DL Jordan Jackson, who could attract interest elsewhere, particularly Jackson. The Broncos aim to avoid losing valuable talent like Jackson, despite the possibility of carrying multiple defensive linemen. Other players, such as OL Calvin Throckmorton and OT Matt Peart, may also face challenges in returning to the practice squad if cut.
