Bo Nix is back. For the first time since the January ankle injury against Buffalo, the Broncos QB1 takes the field Friday night at Empower Field for 10-15 snaps against the Green Bay Packers. David and Spotty break down what actually matters when the starter is that limited, what Sean Payton and Davis Webb are likely to show, and why the ankle is officially a non-issue in Denver.

Beyond Bo, the biggest storylines heading into Week 2 preseason:

  • Jaydn Ott with the ones? Not confirmed, but the rookie RB has been running so well with the twos that a first-team cameo would surprise nobody. Why the Broncos should get him meaningful reps early.
  • The WR hierarchy is getting crowded. Pat Bryant is solidifying a real role. Waddle likely sits. That puts Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin into a contract-year competition for WR4/WR5 — and the guys break down why Mims' skill set may already be pointing him toward New England long-term.
  • Tight ends and the Davis Webb–Evan Engram connection. They played on the same team before Denver. That's a relationship that could unlock the position Broncos fans have been waiting on since Shannon Sharpe.
  • Jordan Love IS expected to play. Which turns this defense's second series into a legitimate stress test. The Broncos went 60+ sacks last year. Can they hunt a real QB early?
  • The nickel corner logjam. Riley Moss is having a monster camp. Ja'Quan McMillian isn't giving up his role. That leaves 2025 first-rounder Jahdae Barron asking what the hell he has to do — a first-world problem if there ever was one.
  • The Taylor Rapp signing is bigger than the headlines. A former Bills and Rams starter as your third or fourth safety? That's A-plus depth, and it puts real pressure on JL Skinner, Devon Key, and Tyson Anderson to earn their roster spot.
  • Score predictions. David called Broncos 27, Falcons 10 last week (off by a field goal). Both guys make their Week 2 picks.


Grab your bourbon, settle in, and get ready for Friday night football.
