Figured I'd start this early since the Broncos made a couple of roster moves today. Oh, and Raiders suck!

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos waived wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie and released wide receiver River Cracraft from the practice squad on Monday, the team announced.

Wide receiver and 2017 third-round pick Carlos Henderson will take Cracraft’s spot on the practice squad. Henderson was reinstated from the Practice Squad/Suspended list on Monday.

Henderson spent training camp on the team's Reserve/Did Not Report list, but he will now have a chance to work with the Broncos.

So we are bringing back Shark Thomas and putting Carlos Henderson on the PS full time while cutting McKenzie and Cracraft? Did I decipher that right?

Well, at least we don't have to be worried about seeing Isiah McKenzie returning punts this season! :beer:

As for Carlos Henderson, clearly he's a very promising athlete with some head issues - and I haven't seen even any speculation as to what they are, but something about his "personal issues" kept him out of the pre-season. He's lucky to be back on the practice squad. He will need at least 1 more year of development before we see whether he can make the 53 man roster.


"“I think for Carlos, it’s more off the field," Joseph said. "I want to see Carlos grow up. I want to see Carlos do NFL things—have great meetings, have great practices, have great days in the weight room. Just do those things first for us. Obviously, the football player Carlos, he’s talented, so that part I don’t worry about. I want him to grow up and become a pro. If he does that, he’ll be fine.”

Obviously, that doesn't always happen. Exhibit "A" - Paxton Lynch, who is still out of football. There hasn't been a 1st round QB who crashed out of the league this hard since JaWalrus Russell.

The moves are not done for the Broncos as Sunshine will eventually be eligible to come off IR and we'll see what moves they make then.

Pretty much nailed it.


"Denver did not make a corresponding roster move after waiving McKenzie.

The Broncos are able to add another player to their active roster before Sunday’s game against the Raiders."

That means they are either looking at the waiver wire, in the process of negotiating or else keeping a roster spot open for somebody, no idea who yet. But, teams don't just roll with 52 men, after agonizing about releasing players in August they don't just give up and have fewer than their allotment of players. So, we can expect further roster moves.

They have to pull him back. He was a gunner on coverage in game 1. He can't continue to do that if he's going to be a huge part of their 3rd down packages - which he should be. He's the best Broncos receiving RB.

Only if they have a player in mind to put on the 46 active for game day. If not, they can leave it open for a bit.

Shamarko Thomas replaces McKenzie on the active roster, so we’re still at 53. Henderson replaces Cracraft on the PS. And also -

At least they (except Manziel) were named as their team's starters at some point. Manziel never was, but that was because he couldn't stop partying and kept getting in trouble off the field. Paxton had no off-field troubles. He just sucked.

And Branden Weeden is currently backing up DeShaun Watson in Houston, while Paxton is out of the league after 2 seasons.

PAC Man let that one punt go and I though cmon man field that.

But it’s one of those punts he catches running and some dude cleans his clock and he fumbles. Giving up 20 yards was better than not having the ball at all.

Crafty vet. And a solid man off the field.
