Broncos rout Falcons 27-7 in preseason after injury-filled camp
Mile High Report said the Denver Broncos defeated the Atlanta Falcons 27-7 on 6 August, as reported on 15 August. Backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham led the offense, while Courtland Sutton was the top receiver and defensive players, including rookie cornerback Jahdae Barron, made key stops. Earlier in camp, the team held a low-intensity, non-padded practice that cleared several injured players, with second-year receiver Pat Bryant standing out.
On day seven, quarterback Bo Nix ran a two-minute drill touchdown and the run game improved, but defensive lineman Matt Henningsen suffered a season-ending Achilles tear. Day eight saw Pat Bryant emerge as a primary target, rookie running back Jonah Coleman deliver strong inside runs, and defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike show better pass rush after offseason work. By day ten, injuries left the Broncos short at center heading into the preseason matchup.
