The Denver Broncos are releasing a veteran wide receiver just ahead of their season opener.
The Broncos cut receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey on Monday, according to the NFL's transaction wire. Multiple reporters have dubbed it a "procedural move" as Denver is expected to re-sign LJH as early as Tuesday.
With Humphrey not on the team's Week 1 roster, his salary won't be guaranteed this season. That could have been part of the decision. The team might also consider bringing LJH back on the practice squad, opening up a spot on the active roster.
Following the Humphrey cut, Denver's remaining receivers on the active roster are Courtland Sutton, Jaylen Waddle, Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin.
