Horse Tracks: Broncos camp officially opens today

Good Morning Broncos Country!

Good Morning, Broncos Country!

After two acclimation ramp-up practices, Denver Broncos Training Camp officially kicks off today! Despite construction ongoing at the facility, roughly 800 Broncos fans will be present for today’s practice to watch Bo Nix and the rest of the team participate in Day 1 of Broncos Camp.

This will be Bo Nix’s first full training camp as the Denver Broncos starter, and so far, he has looked smooth and in control of the offense. He is facing a tough Denver Broncos defense, so it should be fun to see the two units battle it out throughout camp.

The team will enter camp very healthy, with only one player on the PUP and the rest of the roster present and participating in camp. Head Coach Sean Payton noted that players recovering from injury, those with injury histories, or veterans will receive days off throughout camp. However, the team is healthy as they head into camp, and hopefully, it stays that way throughout these next few weeks.

This team also has a number of intriguing young players to watch during camp. R.J. Harvey, Pat Bryant, Caleb Lohner, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin, Devaughn Vele, Sai’vion Jones, Que Robinson, Jonah Elliss, Jahdae Barron, Kris Abrams-Draine and more. Watching their development with the hopes of one or more of them breaking out is always one of the best parts of training camp.

Each day that there is a practice, we will have an open thread for you going live during the practice and my daily news and notes piece later in the day. Stay tuned for all that, and let’s hope our Broncos have a productive and healthy training camp.
