Denver Broncos release projected roster ahead of Monday night season opener

The Denver Broncos released an unofficial depth chart ahead of their September 14 season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. While the team active roster remains set at 53 players, the updated projection incorporates 17 practice squad athletes who remain candidates for game-day elevation. Notable inclusions on the practice squad feature fullback Adam Prentice and safety Taylor Rapp, both of whom remain potential candidates for future active roster spots. The organization clarified that the document serves as an unofficial look at the personnel group currently preparing for Monday night. The depth chart also highlights roster adjustments following the placement of Jonathon Cooper on the commissioner’s exempt list in August. The Broncos continue to finalize their personnel strategy as they prepare for the first week of the 2026 NFL season.
