Broncos make several roster moves; released Blake Bortles

The Denver Broncos have announced several roster moves on Saturday as they prepare to travel to play the New England Patriots on Sunday. The game is still on despite the teams running backs coach Curtis Modkins contracting COVID-19.

Let’s break down all of the roster moves they made today.

Released

  • QB Blake Bortles. With Drew Lock looking like he’ll be available to play, the team has moved on from veteran Bortles. Brett Rypien showed he could be a reliable backup in the event of Lock missing time, so there was no need to keep Bortles around.
