Broncos release Taylor Rapp, safety spots become more secure
Summary

The Denver Broncos released veteran safety Taylor Rapp on August 28, 2026, just days after his signing. Rapp's departure opens the way for other safeties on the roster, including Devon Key, JL Skinner, and Tycen Anderson, to secure a spot on the 53-man roster. With Talanoa Hufanga and Brandon Jones expected to start, the Broncos may keep four safeties. Skinner's familiarity with the team's system could favor him in roster decisions. The final 53-man roster will be confirmed this weekend.
