What to know about Falcons – Broncos preseason Week 1
Battles to watch, a quick look at the Broncos offseason, and more.
The Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos face off in Week 1 of the preseason, and much is at stake. Quarterback Cooper Rush will have the advantage coming into the game, as veteran QB3. Jack Strand and Trey Sermon will also vie for starting positions, with Sermon likely to gain a boost from a strong preseason showing. On the Broncos' side, the team has brought in a new wide receiver in Jaylen Waddle, who will join Courtland Sutton to form a strong receiving tandem for quarterback Bo Nix.
The Broncos have retained their top talent and used limited draft picks to strengthen the team, particularly at the tight end position with Jonah Coleman. Key battles will include the inside linebacker spot, with Christian Harris, Kendal Daniels, and Harold Perkins Jr. all vying for a starting role. With Arthur Smith giving starters some run and Raheem Morris avoiding it, the game promises to be an exciting opportunity to gauge the Falcons' performance against a solid Broncos squad and to see which players are stepping up in the roster battles.
