The Denver Broncos made a change to their practice squad this week.
The first domino fell on Tuesday for the Broncos Keidron Smith waived safety from the active squad. Then Denver promoted full-back Michael Burton from practice squad to Wednesday's 53-man roster.
After clearing waivers, Smith rejoined the team on the practice squad on Thursday. Burton and Smith essentially swapped places this week.
The standard NFL practice squad size limit is 16 players, but there is an exception that allows an additional international player not to count toward the limit. For Denver, Australian tight end Thomas Yassmin is an exception and gives the Broncos a 17-player practice squad.
So here is the full list of the 17 players in the squad after the latest changes.
