Broncos cut ex-Raiders running back from practice squad

The Denver Broncos aren’t done making roster moves this week.

After placing safety Brandon Jones on injured reserve with a pectoral injury, the Broncos filled his former roster spot by claiming running back Cody Schrader off waivers. After bringing in Schrader to add more depth to the backfield, Denver released fellow running back Sincere McCormick from the practice squad, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

The Broncos now have four running backs on the active roster — R.J. Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Badie and Schrader — plus Deuce Vaughn on the practice squad. The team lost safety Keidron Smith to the New York Jets on Monday, so there are now two open spot on the practice squad going into Week 16.
