The Denver Broncos are going into the second week of preseason with a 90-man offseason roster. By Aug. 29, the Broncos will have to trim down to a 53-man roster.
After facing the Arizona Cardinals in their preseason opener last week, Denver will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2. Next week, the Broncos will wrap up preseason at home against the Los Angeles Rams.
These 20 players seem to be on the roster bubble going into Saturday’s game against the 49ers. These players might have their roster fate decided by their performance during preseason this summer. The list is highlighted by tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, a former fourth-round pick, fan-favorite rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin and third-string quarterback Ben DiNucci.
The Broncos also have a long snapper competition featuring Mitchell Fraboni and Jack Landherr. The loser of that position battle won’t make the team.
