Broncos Trim Roster to 53 Players
For the first time since 2003, an undrafted college free agent failed to make the Denver Broncos’ 53-man roster.
Among those cut by Denver were linebackers Steven Johnson and Lamin Barrow, seventh-year cornerback Tony Carter, fifth-year nose tackle Sione Fua and fourth-year tight end Dominique Jones.
The Broncos were able to keep a couple of players who otherwise wouldn’t have made it because defenders Derek Wolfe and T.J. Ward began serving suspensions this weekend.
Wolfe has a four-game drug ban and Ward, a Pro Bowl safety, has to sit out the opener against Baltimore because of an incident at a strip club in May 2014 in which video surveillance showed him throwing a glass mug at a bartender.
