Here’s who the Broncos have back on their practice squad to start 2024

After the rush of the roster cutdown, front offices around the NFL set about scouring more than 1,000 new names on the waiver wire and in free agency.

Then they start putting together their 16-man practice squads (with an international player as the 17th, if they so choose).

The Broncos announced the signing of 15 players on Wednesday afternoon and are also expected to sign tight end Donald Parham Jr., sources tell The Post, leaving one open spot.

Parham, 27, played his first four seasons with the division rival Los Angeles Chargers and last year caught 27 passes for 285 yards and four touchdowns. He provides experience behind the four-man group on the 53 man roster.

The Broncos lost one player to a waiver claim in offensive tackle Demontrey Jacobs, who is off to New England. Wide receivers Brandon Johnson (Pittsburgh) and Jalen Virgil (Buffalo) each landed on other practice squads Wednesday. Sources said that Denver wanted to bring each of the receivers back to its practice squad but that Johnson and Virgil thought they had better opportunities elsewhere.

There are others who are not returning, like offensive lineman Sam Mustipher (Chargers) and defensive lineman Elijah Garcia (New York Giants).

Also on Wednesday, NFL Network reported that former Denver running back Samaje Perine is signing to Kansas City’s active roster, so the Broncos will see him twice this year.

Many more, of course, are back with the Broncos. Here’s the list of signings so far:

TE Donald Parham

FB Mike Burton

WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey

CB Reese Taylor

CB Quinton Newsome

DT Jordan Miller

OL Will Sherman

WR David Sills

OLB Dondrea Tillman
