The Denver Broncos had a busy weekend.
Denver's front office made 38 moves over the last two days to get down to an initial 53-man roster.
"Every year is hard, regardless of your depth," general manager George Paton said on Sunday evening. "This is a tough day. It's always challenging. This year, I think we spent more time on this roster going through a lot of different scenarios with a lot of these players that were released. It's a puzzle. It's ongoing. Now we're building the practice squad, we're looking at the wire tonight, obviously. So it's fluid, and yet yes, this was a tough roster to make."
With that noted, here are six quick takeaways from Paton's post-cuts conference call.
1. Broncos injury report: Offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo was moved from the active/physically unable to perform list to the reserve/PUP list, and tight end Caleb Lohner and offensive tackle Frank Crum were placed on short-term injured reserve. All three players will be eligible to return after four games, but they might not all be ready that quickly. Paton roughly estimated Lohner could return in October.
