Predicting the Broncos’ 16-player practice squad for 2023

We had to make several tough (hypothetical) cuts when we published our 53-man roster prediction for the Denver Broncos earlier this week.

Fortunately, thanks to the NFL’s rules that allow a certain amount of veterans on each practice squad, every player the Broncos cut this summer will be eligible for the practice squad.

Combined with the 53-man active roster, the 16-player practice squad will give Denver 69 total players on their books for the 2023 season (plus any players on injured reserve).

Today, we have a quick list of 16 names to watch for as potential practice squad candidates this summer. All of these players were cut in our 53-man roster prediction.
