It was bound to happen, the Denver Broncos took a little longer to announce their cuts. Likely the team wanted to see who would be available before they decided who to let go from their own roster.
The interesting conundrum this season is almost a common problem for the Broncos as of recently-- injuries. The Broncos are missing a significant amount of players that were predicted to either start or carry a significant amount of playing time.
Syd'quan Thompson is out for the season, Demariyus Thomas may or may not be able to play by week six. DJ Williams is out at least the first week if not more, defensive tackles Ty Warren (out an unannounced amount of time) and Marcus Thomas (also an unknown amount of missed time). Also rookie linebacker Nate Irving will likely miss at least the first week.
Denver's cuts are listed after the jump.
