Denver Broncos finalize 53-man roster following 38 moves

The Denver Broncos established their initial 53-man roster for the 2026 NFL season after completing 38 transactions over the weekend. Bo Nix enters the season as the primary quarterback, backed by Jarrett Stidham and Sam Ehlinger. The running back group includes J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, Jonah Coleman, and Tyler Badie. On the defensive side, Jonathon Cooper has been placed on the commissioner's exempt list pending a legal proceeding and cannot practice or participate in games. The organization plans to build a 17-player practice squad following the waiver claim process. While the current depth chart remains unofficial, the team expects to release a formal version closer to the regular season.
