Both players can go back to the practice squad without passing through waivers after the game. That can only happen twice this season, though. 

Tuszka, 23, was drafted by the Broncos in the seventh round out of North Dakota State this past April. He signed a four-year, $3.4 million rookie deal but was waived coming out of camp and re-signed to the practice squad. 

During his senior year, Tuszka had 48 tackles, including 19 for a loss, 13.5 sacks, one forced fumble and five pass deflections in 15 games.
