The Denver Broncos roster may be set (for now) but the inner workings are always being tweaked.

Today, they unveiled their depth chart ahead of Sunday’s season opener versus Baltimore.

While they’ll stick with Peyton Manning at QB (that’s a joke, for the record) there is some noteworthy changes, specifically who’s stepping in for the suspended Derek Wolfe and T.J. Ward.

Hmm. I’m not sure how to feel about Sanders returning punts. If it’s just a fair catch, fine, but that’s a high risk job for a very key wide receiver.

Bruton will just start Week 1 until Ward returns, but good for him. Smith must be in better shape now than he was a month ago and Bolden needs to find a way to make some plays on kickoffs.

We finally get to see it all come together on Sunday.
