ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos have made a series of roster moves to reach the league-mandated 53-player roster limit.

Ahead of 2 p.m. MT on Tuesday, Denver waived the following players: punter Trenton Gill; wide receivers Michael Bandy, Brandon Johnson and Jalen Virgil; running back Tyler Badie; tight ends Hunter Kampmoyer and Thomas Yassmin; guards Nick Gargiulo and Will Sherman; tackle Demontrey Jacobs; defensive ends Elijah Garcia and Matt Henningsen; nose tackle Jordan Miller; outside linebackers Thomas Incoom and Dondrea Tillman; cornerbacks Quinton Newsome and Reese Taylor; and safety Tanner McCalister. Denver designated outside linebacker Durell Nchami as waived/injured.

The Broncos also released wide receivers Tim Patrick, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and David Sills, running back Samaje Perine, fullback Michael Burton, center Sam Mustipher, guard Calvin Throckmorton and inside linebacker Jonas Griffith.

Denver placed linebacker Drew Sanders and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list. Both players did not participate in training camp and will be eligible to begin practicing following the fourth game of the regular season.

The Broncos also placed cornerback Damarri Mathis on Reserve/Injured (Designated for Return). He is also eligible to return to practice after Week 4. Under a new NFL rule, players are eligible to be placed directly on IR and still return during the season. Previously, players needed to be on the initial 53-man roster in order to return.
