The Broncos cut quarterback Zac Dysert and veteran linebacker Reggie Walker among a flurry of cuts, as they pared their roster to 79 in advance of tomorrow’s deadline.
They also placed tight end Jeff Heuerman, this year’s third-round pick, on injured reserve.
The Broncos waived cornerback Tevrin Brandon, guard Andre Davis, tight end Joe Don Duncan, punter Spencer Lanning, safety Ross Madison, tight end Jake Murphy, running back Jeremy Stewart and linebacker Chase Vaughn.
Walker was signed in March in free agency, but fell behind some younger players. Lanning was claimed off waivers earlier this month but wasn’t going to unseat Britton Colquitt.
Dysert lost the third quarterback job (if the Broncos keep three) to rookie Trevor Siemian.
