With Denver Broncos training camp getting underway, attention is turning to the team’s projected 53-man roster and the difficult decisions that come with narrowing the squad. The latest roster prediction points to several notable bubble players who were left off, underscoring how competitive camp is expected to be.

The story focuses on the toughest cuts in that projection rather than official moves, since the roster is still being shaped on the practice field. Even so, the exercise shows where the Broncos may face the hardest choices as coaches weigh depth, special teams value and overall roster balance.

One of the biggest pressure points appears to be at running back, which was singled out in the early portion of the report. That suggests at least one position group could force the Broncos to part with capable players simply because there are not enough spots available on the final roster.

As camp continues, the projected Broncos 53-man roster will likely change based on performance, health and preseason evaluation. For now, the toughest cuts offer an early look at just how tight the competition could be across Denver’s roster.
