ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Broncos made 23 moves on Saturday to reach the league-mandated 53-man roster limit in advance of Thursday's regular-season opener against the Carolina Panthers.
Denver parted ways with 22 players, including four veterans with extensive regular-season experience: RB Ronnie Hillman, QB Mark Sanchez, DL Henry Melton and FB/RB Juwan Thompson.
Safety Shiloh Keo was also placed on the suspended list, where he will remain for the next two weeks.
All draft picks and one undrafted rookie -- NT Kyle Peko -- made the roster. At least one undrafted rookie has made the post-deadline roster every season but one since 2004.
In addition to setting their practice squad, the Broncos are not done shaping the roster, as they currently have 52 players on the roster.
In six of the last nine years, the Broncos have made at least one addition to their primary roster fewer than 48 hours after the deadline.
