Recap
The Broncos waived six players including WR Gerell Robinson and RB Lance Ball. Damien Holmes, Lamaar Thomas, Aaron Hester and Ben Garland were the other casualties on Friday.
The biggest and perhaps most welcomed surprise was news that the Broncos made room on the final 53 for RB CJ Anderson. According to reports, Anderson is just a couple of weeks from being able to play again.
Some rather cryptic tweets from Jacob Hester and a teammate have people speculating that the Broncos are also retaining his services. If true, that brings the number in the offensive backfield to 5.
Other tweets indicate that Omar Bolden has also made the final 53.
Cuts
Broncos place rookie and fifth-round draft pick DE Quanterus Smith on IR. His recovery from ACL surgery did not come along as hoped.
