The Denver Broncos still have a few roster spots to figure out before the preseason finale against the New Orleans Saints. What's more, the Broncos have 16 practice squad spots to fill, and this is the final opportunity for those bottom-of-the-roster players to make a case.
The Broncos traded Devaughn Vele. So who is now in line to make the initial 53-man roster ahead of the 2025 season?
The game will be locally televised in the Denver market on KTVD with Steve Levy (play-by-play) and Ryan Harris (analyst) providing commentary while Cynthia Frelund and Scotty Gange report from the sidelines. Out-of-market fans can also stream the game live on NFL+.
Nevertheless, Broncos' first-round cornerback Jahdae Barron's transition to the professional ranks has marched ahead relatively smoothly and has garnered national scrutiny. Coming out of the Broncos' 27-7 preseason win over the Arizona Cardinals, NFL.com's Chad Reuter rendered a grade on Barron's contribution, giving him a B.
Broncos safety P.J. Locke smiles a lot as he talks about the coming season and how advanced he thinks Denver’s defense is at this point.
Saints CB Jayden Price has received plenty of nicknames during his playing career, but his current teammates have come up with a new favorite of his.
Marvin Mims Jr. is also safe, as an All-Pro returner, which, after Vele was dealt, leaves one option of value: Troy Franklin. However, the Broncos likely traded Vele, in part, to make room for a bigger role for Franklin in the offense, so he's highly unlikely to be dealt, especially with how good he's looked.
