Broncos depth chart for Week 1 of preseason

The Denver Broncos are set to face the Indianapolis Colts in their preseason opener on Sunday. Ahead of that matchup, the Broncos were required by NFL rules to release a depth chart.

Broncos coach Sean Payton followed the mandate, but he clearly did not take the depth chart very seriously. Every rookie on the team is listed last at their respective positions, including quarterback Bo Nix. Denver also calls it an “unofficial” depth chart despite it being sourced straight from the team.

So fans should keep in mind that this is an initial, “unofficial” depth chart that is subject to change in the coming weeks. Outside of the rookies, though, it seems to roughly show how the team’s players stack up going into preseason.
