As is typical of this time of year, the Denver Broncos are holding tryouts for players that will be considered either for the practice squad or as reserve/futures contract players.
Last year, the Broncos discovered defensive lineman Shelby Harris among their reserve/futures contract players, so these workouts are not meaningless and while they don’t often provide teams with starting caliber players, you can find good depth and developmental guys here.
As the Broncos form out the bottom end of their roster to finish this season, players that are on their practice squad that the team wants to retain stand a very good chance of being promoted to the active roster sometime in the final month of the season, making room for some of these tryout players to get onto the practice squad and at least get a few weeks with the club before they have to wait until March to go on the 90-man roster.
