Broncos QB duel unsettled after two weeks of camp
ENGLEWOOD COLE The Denver Broncos long running quarterback competition remains without a clear leader two weeks into training camp. Jarrett Stidham sits atop the initial depth chart with Zach Wilson second and rookie Bo Nix third. Head coach Sean Payton has downplayed the depth chart, cautions about reading too much into it, and will announce the preseason opener rotation. Stidham, the incumbent who started the final two games last season, and Wilson remain in the mix as Nix pushes to prove he can be the future in Denver. Nix says he is comfortable with the base install and more plays, while Stidham stays focused on today and daily tasks as the season opener approaches.
