The Denver Broncos have cut center Lecitus Smith as of August 29, 2026. Smith was signed on August 13 to help address injuries plaguing the center position, following Michael Deiter’s season-ending injury. With Luke Wattenberg returning to practice but unlikely to play, and backup Alex Forsyth also sidelined, the Broncos continue to face depth issues at center. Smith backed up guard Calvin Throckmorton during the preseason, which could hinder his chances of securing a practice squad spot.
