ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Broncos made their first round of moves Sunday, trimming the roster size from 88 to 77. The team will need to make two more moves by 2 p.m. MT on Tuesday to reach the league-mandated limit of 75.
The next step with the regular season approaching will be a second wave of moves to get the roster down to 53 players after Thursday's game against the Cowboys. After those are made, the Broncos will fill their 10-man practice squad.
The practice squad was expanded from eight members to 10 just last week and now has slightly altered rules for eligibility.
