The Broncos apparently reached the NFL-mandated roster maximum of 75 today by cutting punter Paul Ernster and safety Quentin Harris.

Neither player was at practice, a strong indication they were the Broncos’ final two cuts. NFL teams have until 2 p.m. today to inform the league of its cuts.

Ernster and Harris would join eight other players Denver is believed to have cut – defensive end Kenard Lang, defensive tackle Demetrin Veal, receivers David Terrell and David Kircus, kicker Brandon Pace, running backs Cedric Cobbs and Troy Fleming and tight end Teyo Johnson.
