BroncoBruin Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) At 53 whenever Corey Nelson signs. Three spots open with the IR guys, one obviously for a veteran QB. Interesting that Joseph Jones won't be IR'd. I expected his recovery time to be the longest. Would be great if he can come back in a matter of weeks.

Probably says a lot about how bad our ST's are without he and Jano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Nelson as a STs fill-in for Jones makes a lot of sense. You're right that those two injuries have had a pretty crippling trickle down effect on the rest of the coverage units.

The WW run is tomorrow 10 AM hoping we put a claim in on Malik Jefferson. Likely someone ahead of us puts in a claim but never know...

If we sign Rypien to the practice squad it Wouldn't surprise me if we wait until after the Raiders game to sign a longer term vet. Not much risk involved and we don't get saddled with a guy we've got to pay all year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRNA Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Well, this should just about complete this topic. Camps over, cuts to 53 are made. For any who may not have the info, here's the roster and a recap from Mason. Outside of a few key positions we've assembled quite a "kiddy corp". Should be fun to watch. https://www.denverbroncos.com/team/players-roster/ https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/breaking-down-the-broncos-initial-53-man-roster-x2915 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he's a rookie drafted in the third maybe he could learn a new position or give scheme versatility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-mac Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Sounds like Jake Butt, Riddick and Lock will all start the season on IR. Lock will come back along with possibly one of the other two. Janovich and Jones stay off IR. That would give us three spots to bring in reinforcements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolly red giant Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Can understand why they kept Riddick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Well Elway didn’t stand pat - 4 guys got claimed on waivers. And to be clear - IR Guys can’t be used to clear extra space for waiver claim players - they can be used to bring back players who’ve cleared waivers completely. Apparently the dominoes are already falling... Hoyer actually is likely staying with NE as they can retain him with their own IR candidates. So it’s Brandon Allen for now as the established vet backup. 4 other comments right away: -Delighted Muhammad made it to the PS as I’ve said I’d much rather see what he can do over a stopgap year of Riddick esp with Booker done after his rookie deal is up this year. -Hope Josh Watson can stick on the PS. Corey Nelson isn’t quite as bad as Riddick but it’s more a 1-year deal so I’m pretty meh on that. If Watson can be stashed on PS at least we can see if he can develop into anything. -Corey Levin at C/G is a name to track. Muchak would have had input on who to target so clearly he thinks he can coach Levin up. Given our C situation definitely worth watching. -I’ve seen Spencer succeed in the CFL. He’s an upgrade on Cracraft skill wise. The Q with CFL skill guys is how they handle press coverage and tighter windows / heavier contact.

jsthomp2007 Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 This is Spencer Levin - not sure if he is big enough to play C/G. And, you have to wonder if he would just leave to go play golf if the NFL career doesn't work out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Is andrew beck a fumagalli replacement potentially or Janovich while he's out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Interesting that they swap out a tackle for a center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
