Broncos | Two receivers cut
Denver Broncos WR’s Greg Orton and Quincy McDuffie were waived/injured Sunday, Aug. 25, as the Broncos got a jump start on the first round of cuts by waiving 11 players. Orton spent the past two seasons on Denver’s practice squad. He had a shot at making the roster when he sprained an ankle during the team’s stadium scrimmage on Aug. 3 and never returned to action. McDuffie hoped to challenge for a spot as a returner, but he was hampered by a troublesome hamstring.
