The Broncos have cut backup running back and utility man Juwan Thompson as part of getting their roster down to the regular season limit of 53.
Thompson made the team as an undrafted rookie in 2014 and played in 15 games in each of the last two seasons. He got 54 carries and scored three rushing touchdowns as a rookie but was used more as a fullback last season.
The news of his release means the Broncos are likely to go with Andy Janovich as their fullback. The Broncos selected Janovich in the sixth round last April.
Thompson, who’s just 24, will be subject to the waiver process this weekend.
