Broncos waive offensive lineman Reid Holskey, continuing reshuffle of the offensive line depth

The Denver Broncos have waived offensive lineman Reid Holskey, the team’s roster move reported Tuesday by Mike Klis of 9News. The announcement comes as NFL teams continue trimming and rebalancing their line corps heading deeper into the preseason period and toward the regular-season roster picture.

For the Broncos, a waiver is primarily a depth-management decision. When a player is waived, other clubs have the opportunity to claim him under the league’s waiver process, after which the player can potentially reach the team’s practice squad if unclaimed. In practical terms, the move indicates that Denver wants different combinations of linemen available for training camp work, preseason reps, and day-to-day competition.

Holskey’s status with Denver now depends on whether another team places a claim. If he clears waivers, he could be a candidate to return to a developmental role, though the specifics of whether he would be re-signed or invited to a practice squad are not confirmed in the report.

The offensive line spotlights a constant churn for NFL clubs, especially for players competing for swing tackle, backup interior, and depth roles. Because the unit’s performance often hinges on chemistry and reliability against a range of fronts and blitz packages, teams repeatedly test multiple players across similar positions during the same window.

Denver’s decision also adds another layer to how roster construction looks as the Broncos sort their final linemen. Even when a player is not established as a weekly starter, his ability to handle multiple alignments and stay available through the grind of camp can determine whether he remains in the active mix.

Going forward, the key question is whether any team claims Holskey and where he lands next. For Denver, the waiver creates a roster opening that can be filled by a different lineman, an addition from the waiver market, or an internal promotion, depending on how the rest of camp evaluates at the position.

With official confirmation beyond the initial report not included in the available information, readers should treat the move as confirmed for the waiver action itself, while details such as claim outcomes and the Broncos’ subsequent roster steps may require follow-up reporting.
