Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:30:45 GMT

The Broncos are more than two weeks into training camp and now have a preseason loss to Arizona under their belts as well.At essentially the halfway point between report day and the NFL’s new single cutdown day from 90 players to 53 on Aug. 29, let’s take a crack identifying who’s safe and who’s on the bubble for the Broncos en route to a full roster projection.This exercise is mostly meant to serve as a snapshot. Every year there are wheelings and dealings around the roster cutdown. Of the 90 players currently on Denver’s roster, 42 are new since the end of the 2022 season. That number will only rise between now and the Sept. 10 opener against Las Vegas.With that in mind, let’s get to it.OFFENSE (25)Quarterbacks (2)Locks: Russell Wilson and Jarrett StidhamBubble: The Broncos gave Stidham $5 million guaranteed on a two-year deal to be Wilson’s backup, so barring injury the only decision likely to be made in the quarterback room is whether Ben DiNucci makes the 53-man roster even tho...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:30:45 GMT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson threw an interception and was unable to generate much offense with his legs, either, during Indianapolis’ preseason-opening 23-19 loss to the Buffalo Bills in an outing decided by third-stringers Saturday.The Bills got an emotional boost with safety Damar Hamlin credited with three tackles over two-plus defensive series in his first competitive game since going into cardiac arrest and being resuscitated on the field during a game at Cincinnati on Jan. 2. Hamlin showed no signs of hesitation and made a key impact on his second defensive snap by stopping Evan Hull for no gain on fourth-and-1 at the Buffalo 40 to end the Colts’ second possession.Trailing 13-10, the Bills went ahead for good with 6:11 left in the third quarter, when Matt Barkley hit Tyrell Shavers for a 22-yard touchdown pass. Shavers’ touchdown made up for his miscue earlier in the quarter when Kyle Allen’s pass tipped off his hands and led to Darius...
