The Denver Broncos started cuts on Monday with 13 players being waived with players like Audric Estime, Joaquin Davis, Andrew Farmer, Micah Abraham and Joshua Pickett who received an injury settlement.
On Tuesday, players Courtney Jackson, Michael Bandy and Reese Taylor were waived (final results of full roster not available at the time of this writing). Despite Denver’s cuts the team still holds depth and is poised to have their best season in almost a decade.
On Saturday the Broncos faced their last opponent of the pre-season, the New Orleans Saints and dominating them just like they did the San Francisco 49ers and the Phoenix Cardinals. The Broncos averaged 28 points a game in the preseason and had both the best offense and defense in the NFL during the preseason.
By this time next week the Broncos will have slimmed down to the regular season 53-man roster. Denver will open at home next weekend, hosting the Tennessee Titans at Empower Field at Mile High. The Denver Broncos are favored by 7.5 points.
In other sports the Rockies have lost four in a row after their short lived winning streak. The Rockies lost two and won two in their four-game series with the L.A. Dodgers but were swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates in Pennsylvania over the weekend. The Rockies are in Houston this week to face the Astros before returning home to hos the Chicago Cubs.
The Rockies have 31 games left in the season and even if they won every game they’d still be behind the division-leading L.A. Dodgers who holds a 37.5 game lead over Colorado.
The Colorado Rapids lost to the L.A. Galaxy 3-0 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Saturday. This weekend the Rapids will be facing Sporting KC at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
