Tight end Troy Fumagalli and linebacker Jerrol Garcia-Williams were both placed on injured reserve. Neither player will be eligible to return this season.

Wide receiver Jordan Taylor, who did not recover from hip surgery in time to participate in the preseason, was designated as Physically Unable to Perform. Taylor will be eligible to return to practice after six weeks of the regular season. At that point, the Broncos will have three weeks to decide whether to place Taylor on the active roster or on injured reserve.
