One of the best and most comprehensive features we offer every year is our Footballguys Preseason Updates. Every week this month, Bob Henry, Jason Wood, Clayton Gray, and their team of Footballguys Staffers cover every player that matters from every NFL team. It's 32-plus pages of some of the most comprehensive coverage you'll find. It's probably worth the Footballguys Premium Subscription by itself.

Updates from Week 1

Preseason Updates: Quarterbacks

Bo Nix had a tale of two seasons as a rookie, posting a 62.5 passer rating in September before rebounding to a 99.0 mark the rest of the way. His training camp has featured highs and lows, as expected for a second-year starter working against one of the league’s top defenses. Reports note that while individual practices may look rough on the surface, Nix continues to show resilience and has strung together productive stretches, especially during Saturday’s scrimmage, where he delivered sharp throws both on schedule and off-platform.

Preseason Updates: Running Backs

New running backs coach Lou Ayeni takes over a crowded and competitive backfield. J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey are the presumed leaders for touches, though returnees Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime remain in the mix. McLaughlin added bulk this offseason and now hovers around 200 pounds in an effort to become more durable and explosive. “I feel stronger and more efficient with my cuts,” he said. Dobbins, now healthy, is aiming for a large workload and said, “If I stay healthy, you’ll see, it’ll be nice.” The Broncos haven’t given any back more than 21 carries in a game since 2022. Harvey, meanwhile, has impressed with his burst in team drills and drew praise from head coach Sean Payton early in camp.
