Bo Nix will NOT play in the Broncos’ final preseason game, and that tells you everything about where Sean Payton’s confidence is. He’s seen enough — the franchise QB is ready for Week 1, healthy, sharp, and locked in. So the question becomes: how many other starters should sit. After a physical camp and two preseason games, Payton may choose to protect most of his core players, especially with the regular‑season opener just around the corner. Expect a lighter workload for key veterans and a showcase opportunity for depth pieces fighting for roster spots. The Broncos also released Taylor Rapp due to a personal matter, but there’s a strong chance he returns once things settle. It’s a pause, not a goodbye. One more preseason game… then it’s time. The Broncos are gearing up to make a real run at Super Bowl 61, and this week is all about tightening the final bolts before the season kicks off. 🔥 In this episode: Why Bo Nix is sitting out the finale Which starters should rest vs. the Vikings Taylor Rapp’s release and potential return Final roster battles before Week 1 Why expectations are sky‑high for 2026 Drop your Broncos take — which starters should sit Friday, and who needs one last big preseason performance to lock in their role.
