The Denver Broncos made several roster moves this week ahead of their Christmas Eve showdown with the New England Patriots on Sunday.
The moves started on Tuesday when the Broncos signed defensive back Keidron Smith to the practice squad. To make room for Smith, Denver waived safety Dallin Leavitt from the practice squad.
Later in the week, the Broncos elevated quarterback Ben DiNucci and outside linebacker Ronnie Perkins from the practice squad to the game-day roster on Saturday. Denver did not activate safety Kareem Jackson to the 53-man roster following his return from a four-game suspension.
The Broncos have a roster exemption for Jackson that expires on Monday. Once the exemption expires, Denver will need to either make a roster move to make room for Jackson, or release Jackson.
In addition to not activating Jackson, the Broncos also did not activate tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring/foot) from injured reserve. Dulcich was ruled out on Friday and will now miss another game.
