The Denver Broncos have beefed up what was already a stingy defense this offseason, adding pieces like Talanoa Hufanga and Dre Greenlaw in free agency and selecting Jahdae Barron in the NFL Draft. It's also entirely possible the Broncos are not making additions,
One position in particular that could cause headaches is wide receiver. Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and third-round pick Pat Bryant are presumably locks. Devaughn Vele is presumably safe, and Trent Sherfield is set to serve as a key special teams player this season.
The Denver Broncos will face the New Orleans Saints in their preseason finale on Aug. 23, then the team will have until Aug. 26 to set a 53-man roster.

Former Broncos wide receiver Juwann Winfree has signed with the Houston Texans, according to his agent Mike McCartney. Winfree will get the chance to work with Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud and fit into that young offense.
The game will be locally televised in the Denver market on KTVD with Steve Levy (play-by-play) and Ryan Harris (analyst) providing commentary while Cynthia Frelund and Scotty Gange report from the sidelines. Out-of-market fans can also stream the game live on NFL+.
7-8. ILBs Jordan Turner and Karene Reid: Turner impressed with five tackles, three quarterback hits, 1.5 sacks and one tackle behind the line of scrimmage on Saturday.

After starting their summer slate with a 2-0 record, the Denver Broncos are set to wrap up their preseason schedule this weekend.
