Day 9 of Broncos Camp is in the books, and it was a quick non-padded ramp-up day after a day off on Sunday and a busy week ahead. They’ll have another practice tomorrow before a travel day on Wednesday, a key joint practice with the 49ers on Thursday, and their preseason opener on Saturday.
In today’s recap, I will update you on what went on during today’s practice, injury updates, and notable information from Head Coach Sean Payton.
Clockin’ in for another work week ⏰@AudricEstime x #BroncosCountry

Broncos Camp Recap
- QB Bo Nix had two interceptions during today’s practice. The first one was on a seam route to WR Courtland Sutton, and safety Devon Key jumped the route and picked it. The other came during a team drill on a free play, according to some reporters, and was picked by linebacker Justin Strnad. Payton downplayed the importance of camp interceptions, and frankly, they really don’t matter much in the grand scheme of things. - Source
- Some notes from the one-on-one drills from today. Rookie TE Caleb Lohner had a nice double move on safety Sam Franklin. Rookie CB Jahdae Barron prevented a Courtland Sutton TD. Rookie WR Pat Bryant beat PS2 and showed off his route-running ability to gain some space on the DPOY. UDFA Joaquin Davis used his size to pluck a TD reception over CB Riley Moss - Source
- QB Jarrett Stidham hit a wide open Pat Bryant down the seam for a 50+ yard touchdown reception - Source
- RB Blake Watson continues to run well and had an explosive run to the left side of the field - Source
- QB Bo Nix had a couple of beautiful passes to TE’s Evan Engram and Lucas Krull - Source
- EDGE Nik Bonitto nearly had a pick-six on a Bo Nix pass behind the line of scrimmage to Sutton. He timed his jump perfectly and nearly repeated what he did vs. the Colts last season - Source
- QB Sam Ehlinger hit UDFA rookie WR Courtney Jackson for a long TD pass near the end of practice - Source
- K Wil Lutz made a 62-yard field goal to end the kicking drill, and the kick would have been good from 70 yards - Source
- Rookie CB Jahdae Barron pressured QB Bo Nix off the edge and forced him to throw the ball away. He had one of his best overall days of camp today, according to reports - Source
- CB Damarri Mathis had a fantastic PBU of QB Jarrett Stidham that was nearly a Levelle Bailey INT - Source
- Head Coach Sean Payton announced that they will be playing their starters vs. the 49ers this weekend - Source
- Payton notes that he has been extremely impressed by QB Sam Ehlinger. He said, “He’s extremely athletic. He’s comfortable throwing on the run. There’s a little moxie” - Source
- They ran a two-minute move-the-ball period, and both offenses were stopped within the 30-yard line, but were able to convert the field goal - Source
- KOA’s Ryan Edwards noted that he likes the progress he is seeing from rookie TE Caleb Lohner - Source

Bo Nix picked off early in 7-on-7 by Devon Key. Threw a seam to Courtland Sutton, window closed much too quickly, Key jumped it. Rough one

Highlights of the one-on-one drills:
— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) August 4, 2025
Lohner with a nice double move past Franklin
Barron great rep to prevent Sutton from a TD
Bryant beating PS2 back left EZ, nice move to get a little bit of space
Joaquin Davis using length to pluck a TD over Moss
Harvey, Jaleel crisp routes
In first team period, Justin Strnad picked off a Nix pass over the middle.

Jarrett Stidham hit Pat Bryant, who ran a great route up the seam, for a 60-ish-yard TD.
Explosive run to the left by Blake Watson, who has really come on strong the last week or so.
Bo Nix had a couple beautiful passes to Krull and Engram for 15+ yards each during team before Nix tried to quick pass behind the line of scrimmage to Court and Nik Bonitto almost intercepted it and ran it back for a pick 6. Perfectly timed by Nik. #Broncos

Sam Ehlinger just threw a bomb to Courtney Jackson for a TD. Was on the run to the left up against the sideline and just flipped his hips and cut it loose from the 45-yard line.

Threw a little smirk at Beau Lowery on the sideline before getting greeted by several teammates.
Highlight play of second team period was Nik Bonitto storming into the backfield and swatting away a screen pass.

Nix also found Evan Engram for a nice gain. The new TE has routinely found soft spots in the defense to make himself a consistent target.
Jahdae Barron with a BIG-TIME pressure on Bo Nix in team. Flew off the edge and forced Bo to throw it away. A highlight play of camp for him.

Don’t think I’ve seen Riley Moss get beat deep or on intermediate throws to sidelines all camp. Hard to cover Courtland Sutton one-on-one deep and he just did. Forced an incompletion

Payton on Nix throwing more interceptions today. “Yeah we’re charting picks like hurricanes. He’s doing fine.”

-good, competitive practice for the offense and defense in shells
-Bo Nix threw a couple INTs (one during 7s to Key and the other was during team to Strnad). The 1st seemed late to Sutton down the left sideline with Key was FS and the…
