Things to watch in Broncos' preseason finale. Battle for roster spots intensifies with roster cuts looming on Tuesday
DENVER — The Broncos make their preseason home debut Saturday. They sold off last year’s model for parts. There is a new-car smell – or perhaps that is hamburgers and hot dogs grilling in Lot J.
The final exhibition game is Hunger Games. This is the last opportunity to grab a roster spot for those players on the margins. The Broncos faced the Rams in joint practices on Wednesday and Thursday, so it’s likely Denver’s starters play. If they do, it is not expected to go more than a series. The No. 1 goal is to exit the game healthy, especially at receiver after Jerry Jeudy strained his right hamstring Thursday, leaving him out roughly 3-to-4 weeks. The second priority is finding the right fits for the 53-man roster, which must be set by 2 p.m. on Tuesday.I do not expect Jeudy to be ready for the season opener. He could still make the roster and avoid IR, but somebody needs to fill the void. It starts with Courtland Sutton, second-year pro Brandon Johnson, rookie Marvin Mims Jr.
