The Denver Broncos have finalized their 91-player roster ahead of Friday's preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons. This includes placing backup center Michael Deiter on season-ending injured reserve and signing veteran center Lecitus Smith to take his spot. The roster currently exceeds the NFL offseason limit of 90 players due to an international exemption for punter Jeremy Crawshaw, who will count against the regular-season roster. Denver is set to play three preseason games in August before the regular season begins in September.
