Bo Nix shines in Broncos Cardinals joint practice
Denver wrapped the open portion of training camp with a two plus hour joint practice against Arizona in Dove Valley, setting the tone for Saturday’s preseason game and a shift to closed sessions next week. Coach Sean Payton praised both teams for their tempo and communication, noting there will be a lot of tape to sift through.
Key Takeaways
"There’s going to be a lot of tape — a lot of good things and a lot of things we’ve got to get cleaned up. That’s how you get better."
Sean Payton after Thursday practice
"That’s a joker. When you get one, they’re hard to find."
Payton on Trey McBride's performance
"He’s a dynamic athlete. He’s obviously matured and everything like that. He’s a top quarterback in this league, and every year he gets better."
Zach Allen on Kyler Murray
"Days like this, there’s always some good and some bad."

Bo Nix delivered his best, most controlled day in weeks, showing sharper footwork and accurate throws to several targets. Undrafted receivers Jerjuan Newton and Joaquin Davis continued to turn heads with hands and effort, while the run game flashed at moments but still needs inner-zone juice to open lanes. The day also highlighted Ja’Quan McMillian’s knack for creating takeaways, even as a boom-or-bust element on defense. The joint session underscores how roster battles play out in real time and how leadership and competition shape the depth chart.
Highlights
- Tape will tell the rest of the story
- This is the kind of day you build a roster on
- Competition breeds clarity for both sides
- The real work starts after the tape rolls
Financial implications of camp performances
The day highlighted roster depth decisions that can affect contracts, cap planning, and waivers. Strong performances by players at the margins can influence financial outcomes and fan scrutiny.
The next test comes when the pads pop again in the preseason.
