Stidham Shines as Broncos Dominate Falcons in 27-7 Preseason Opener

Denver rolled to a 27-7 preseason win over Atlanta, with Jarrett Stidham driving the second-team offense to solid production and Sam Ehlinger showing flashes but not enough consistency. Rookie Jonah Coleman impressed at running back, Riley Moss and Jahdae Barron delivered in the secondary (Barron returning a pick-six), while special-teams hiccups — including a low snap by rookie long snapper Luke Basso — raised concerns. Davis Webb looked effective as offensive coordinator, emphasizing tempo and a stronger run game. On the depth chart, players like McLaughlin and Prentice contributed, but turnover risk and roster battles at several spots remain focal points for Broncos camp evaluations.

Webb shines as Broncos open preseason with decisive win under Payton

Denver routed Atlanta 27-7 in the first 2026 preseason game, with Davis Webb commanding a smooth sequence of drives and showing the kind of rhythm Payton wants from his backup QB. Webb’s quick timing, smart reads and clear leadership helped Denver post 360 rushing/yardage advantages and multiple scoring opportunities, while Jarrett Stidham provided a solid first-half showing. The defense forced punts and two takeaways, including Jahdae Barron’s 98-yard pick-six, signaling regular-season readiness. Rookie Jonah Coleman impressed with four carries for 24 yards, aligning with Payton’s plan to lean on a faster, more competitive offense. Payton stressed the importance of resetting when plays stall and hinted Webb could start handling radio calls into Bo Nix next week, underscoring the overall message: preseason wins matter for development and culture-building as Denver looks to carry momentum into the regular season.

Falcons Day 12: Tua Tagovailoa to start preseason; Penix knee improving; injury updates

On Day 12 of Falcons training camp, coach Kevin Stefanski named Tua Tagovailoa the preseason starter against the Broncos, with the starters likely to play about a series. Michael Penix Jr. is progressing with his knee injury, and Aveion Terrell, Bralen Trice, and Da’Shawn Hand are rehabbing injuries but aren’t expected to be long-term. Cooper Rush will back up Tagovailoa, and Jack Strand will finish the game; Jessie Bates is improving, Jawaan Taylor was active in football activities, and a vanilla game plan is planned for Friday. The Falcons will hold a walkthrough tomorrow, then travel for joint practices with the Colts in Indianapolis next week, and a Week 1 depth chart has been released.

Broncos owner Greg Penner said the team has not yet decided whether to implement personal seat licenses for its planned stadium, aiming for a 2031 opening; Burnham Yards remains the preferred site but isn’t finalized, and officials say PSLs are off the table for now as they focus on site decisions and keeping season-ticket holders informed while weighing funding options.

Broncos Hand Play-Calling to Davis Webb as Payton Bets on a Margin-Driven Win

Breer reports that Sean Payton is keeping Davis Webb as the Broncos’ play-caller, arguing the move is a deliberate, evidence-backed strategy to win and will keep Payton involved in the offense while Webb develops. Crosby says he’s content with his Raiders situation after a chaotic trade saga, and Houston’s young core—led by Will Anderson Jr. and Derek Stingley Jr.—is building a “swarm”-style culture on defense with an improving offense. The RB market is heating up after big deals for Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs, with Jonathan Taylor’s contract signaling the broader trend. Breer also commends Roger Craig for openly discussing head injuries and signals optimism about Aaron Donald’s return plan, with a phased ramp-up. He closes with quick notes on coaching longevity, preseason usage of Anthony Richardson, and other league-wide topics from Harbaugh/McDaniel to Detroit’s homegrown extensions.

Bryant Emerges as Nix’s Target, Coleman Shines at Broncos Camp Day 8

Broncos training camp Day 8 featured a controlled scrimmage led by Vance Joseph as Sean Payton attended Drew Brees’ Hall of Fame induction. Pat Bryant stepped up as Bo Nix’s top target with multiple catches and a highlighted TD, while rookie Jonah Coleman impressed with strong between-the-tackles runs and pass-catching ability, potentially pushing for RB2. Eyioma Uwazurike showed increased pass-rush potential after a body transformation. The day included injury/rest notes (Waddle, Mims, Wattenberg among those limited) and roster moves, including waiving Sam Webb and signing Ricardo Hallman, as the team evaluates depth ahead of preseason.

Broncos Day 7: Nix Drives Late TD as Coleman Emerges, Henningsen Sidelined by Achilles

Day 7 of Broncos camp ended with Bo Nix orchestrating a late 1:21 drill to a touchdown, sealing a win for the offense as the run game showed signs of life behind JK Dobbins and rookie Jonah Coleman, whom coach Payton called a “pleasant surprise.” The session was marred by injuries, including a torn Achilles for Matt Henningsen and an unknown lower-body issue for Marvin Mims, with Nate Adkins also exiting. Jaylen Waddle was limited but present, Sutton returned to full participation, and Payton was away at Drew Brees’s Hall of Fame ceremony with Vance Joseph running practice. The team also worked out and reportedly signed undrafted WR Kyre Duplessis, while several veterans rested, prompting focus on defensive-line and wide-receiver depth ahead of preseason.
