Broncos' 53-man roster leaves questions about Case Keenum's backup

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos must cut their roster to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET Saturday, Sept. 1. Here’s a final 53-man roster projection:

QUARTERBACK (3): Case Keenum, Chad Kelly, a veteran to be named

While president of football operations/general manager John Elway usually prefers to keep two quarterbacks on the roster, Kelly’s play in the preseason likely has done what Trevor Siemian's did in 2015 -- force the Broncos to keep their developmental prospect on the active roster instead of risking exposing him to waivers to get him to the practice squad.
