2024 Broncos training camp: Day 9 live updates
The Denver Broncos hit the fifth day of a six straight day stretch of training camp today. All eyes remain on the quarterbacks and specifically, Bo Nix. There was near universal praise for his play on Thursday outside of one contrarian from the local media. He certainly seems to be coming along quickly and his first preseason game should tell us all where he’s at in the scheme of things as a rookie.
Head Coach Sean Payton noted yesterday that the quarterback position is certainly not decided by any stretch, although the rotation has not been consistent. It seems as though it is quickly coming down to a battle between Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham.
“It’s not etched in stone,” Payton said. “We talked about it in the beginning of the week. It’s hard to rotate three [quarterbacks] through the first group. All three of them I thought had a good day today. We’ll see how Saturday goes. Saturday we’re going to have a little bit more of a different type of practice. It’s not going to be a scrimmage, but there are going to be like three phases, special teams mixed in, move the ball if you will. We haven’t met on that relative to the reps and the rotation. Sunday then, we’ll map out the plan for the week leading up to Indianapolis, so that’s kind of where we’re at.”
Saturday seems like it could be a pretty eventful day for training camp news, so keep note of that heading into the weekend. We’re less than 10 days away from the first preseason game too. Time is flying!

Field flips again and Wilson is in for Nix. Finds Krull out-breaking on first play. Then it’s Javonte in the flat on the next rep. Hurries to the line and looks for Dorsett on a stop route. Dorsett has to dive for the worm-burner that bounces off the turf in front of him

Joe Lombardi JUST WENT OFF on DJ Jones
On Nix’s third rep he keeps a read option but the defense suffocates the ikat immediately. Fourth rep is an RPO of sorts. Nix unloads the pass SUPERRRR quick to Bandy in stride. That definitely translates from the Oregon tape

Wattenberg came up limping a couple plays ago and is now getting his ankle taped by a trainer.
Appears to be okay.
