A day after reducing their roster to 53 players, the Denver Broncos have filled 15 of their 16 practice squad slots. The 16th spot is reportedly reserved for former Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham, although the team has yet to confirm this signing. Below is the current roster of the practice squad:
– Tyler Badie (RB)
– Michael Bandy (WR)
– Michael Burton (FB)
– Nick Gargiulo (OG)
– Matt Henningsen (DL)
– Lil’Jordan Humphrey (WR)
– Tanner McCalister (DB)
– Jordan Miller (NT)
– Quinton Newsome (CB)
– Dylan Parham (TE)
– Will Sherman (OG)
– David Sills V (WR)
– Reese Taylor (CB)
– Calvin Throckmorton (OG)
– Dondrea Tillman (OLB)
– Thomas Yassmin (TE)
Although fans expressed concerns about Michael Burton being waived, his re-signing to the practice squad eases those worries. Still, any NFL team could offer him a spot on their active roster. Meanwhile, it’s positive to see late-round picks like Henningsen and Gargiulo remain on the squad, continuing their development. Players like Matt Paradis, who started on the practice squad, went on to have stellar careers, which could offer hope to others.
The practice squad also provides valuable depth for the Broncos, including on the offensive line with players like Sherman and Throckmorton, as well as dynamic offensive threats such as Tyler Badie and Lil’Jordan Humphrey, who has ties with coach Sean Payton from New Orleans.
