Day 13 of Broncos camp was the most intense yet, with skirmishes sparked by Bo Nix and Nik Bonitto, a bleeding Throckmorton after a ruckus, and defensive praise for rookie LB Red Murdock as he shows he can call the defense. Coaches urged players to avoid hitting the quarterback as Nix embraced the competitive energy; the report also covers injury updates, RB rotation notes, and other camp developments ahead of the preseason.
Denver opens 2026 preseason vs. the Falcons with three players to watch: rookie RB Jonah Coleman, rookie inside linebacker Red Murdock, and corner Jahdae Barron, as the Broncos evaluate depth behind starters and gauge each player's readiness for the regular season.
Denver used the final pick of the 2024 NFL draft to select Buffalo linebacker Khalil 'Red' Murdock (Mr. Irrelevant). Known for a college-record 17 forced fumbles and 358 tackles over his last three seasons, Murdock combines instinct and a relentless motor with a less-fast 40-yard dash (about 4.67). The Broncos view him as a potential special-teams standout who could develop into a regular contributor behind the starters, thanks to his make-up and tackling instincts. GM George Paton praised his take-away talent and intangibles, while Murdock emphasized a team-first mindset as he competes for a roster spot among other depth linebackers in camp.
