The roster shuffling has already begun for the Denver Broncos ahead of Sunday's 53-man roster deadline.
One day after the Broncos signed pass rusher Ron Stone Jr. and cut wide receiver Hakeem Butler, the team made four more roster moves on Wednesday.
Denver signed defensive lineman Israel Antwine and offensive tackle Foster Sarell, presumably to add more depth to the bottom of the roster to have enough players for Friday's preseason finale. To make room for Antwine and Sarell, the Broncos cut safety Taylor Rapp and wide receiver Kyre Duplessis.
The Rapp release was a surprise because he just signed last week, and head coach Sean Payton and defensive coordinator Vance Joseph (just yesterday) were both full of praise for the veteran safety. Payton explained after Wednesday's practice that Rapp is dealing with a personal situation. After that is resolved, Rapp will be a candidate to return to the team.

The club's 91-man offseason roster is now full ahead of Friday's preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings. After that game, Denver will finalize an initial 53-man roster for the 2026 regular season.
