Denver Broncos trim roster ahead of NFL waiver wire processing

The Denver Broncos reduced their active roster from 91 players to 53 this weekend. The team now awaits the waiver wire process on Monday to determine the status of players with fewer than four credited seasons. Nine specific players at risk of being claimed include Jaleel McLaughlin, Kolbe Katsis, Justin Joly, Tyler Miller, Gavin Ortega, Drew Sanders, Red Murdock, Reese Taylor, and Miles Scott. Veterans like Adam Prentice were not subject to waivers and may be re-signed to the practice squad if they clear. Following the Monday waiver claims, the organization plans to assemble a 17-player practice squad. This expanded squad size accounts for an exception granted to the team to carry one international player.
