Denver Broncos backup offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo suffered a season-ending ACL injury in a preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday, coach Sean Payton confirmed after Tuesday's practice.

NFL teams must cut their rosters from 90 to 53 by 2 p.m. on Aug. 26. Every year, much is made about players being sure bets to get claimed by other teams, and every year the number is lower than expected — often less than one per team. Payton thinks his team will be getting poached this summer rather than doing the poaching.

Titans star CB L'Jarius Sneed has been activated from the PUP list, but he still has an uncertain status for a Week 1 clash with the Broncos.

Sean Payton is clearly a big Tyler Badie fan. The 25-year-old running back seemed poised to carve out a notable role in the Denver Broncos ' backfield last fall before a scary back injury derailed his season. Now healthy again, Badie appears to be the favorite for RB3 duties in 2025 behind veteran J.K. Dobbins and second-round draft pick RJ Harvey.

Colin Cowherd is back with his first Herd Hierarchy of the 2025 NFL Season, featuring the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs in the Top 5 and Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers making the cut. Agree with Colin's first Hierarchy?

One position in particular that could cause headaches is wide receiver. Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and third-round pick Pat Bryant are presumably locks. Devaughn Vele is presumably safe, and Trent Sherfield is set to serve as a key special teams player this season.

On Monday, in a collaboration you may not have seen coming, the more than 20-year-old shoe brand, Crocs, announced the “NFL x Crocs Collection” with several teams, including the

"You can always feel him when he's out there," Bonitto said of Greenlaw, who has missed much of camp with a quad injury.

Sean Payton said the Broncos have been discussing whether or not they'll carry 3 quarterbacks on the 53-man roster.
