The Broncos have released 11 players, as they move toward the Tuesday deadline to reduce the roster to 75 players, reports Brian McIntyre of NFL.com (via Twitter). One notable name from this wave of cuts is Winston Justice, who the team re-signed earlier this offseason. Justice was set to be a backup in 2014.
Here is the full list of players released by the Broncos today, according to Mike Klis of the Denver Post (via Twitter):
- Winston Justice OT
- Brennan Clay RB
- Jerodis Williams RB
- Greg Hardin WR
- Greg Wilson WR
- Jerrell Harris LB
- Charles Mitchell CB
- Will Pericak DL
- Bryn Renner QB
- Jamar Chaney LB (terminated/injured)
- Chase Vaughn LB (waived/injured)
That brings the team down to 77 players, with three more cuts to come in the next two days. Klis notes that receiver and returner Jordan Norwood also seems destined for the waived/injured list, which would bring it to 76 players.
