Broncos' Bo Nix: Showing improvement
Head coach Sean Payton said that he's pleased with Nix's progress and noted the quarterback performed "overall, pretty well" during Wednesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post suggests that Wednesday represented Nix's best day of practice in pads, as well as his best showing yet with the first-team offense. The Broncos have also given Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson reps with the starters in camp, although it's unclear if that will continue for Wilson, given that he's now gone three days in a row without any first-team snaps, per Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post. The job battle may be narrowing down to two quarterbacks with preseason games on the horizon, and Nix remains a favorite to start Week 1 if only due to his status as a first-round pick and because he's facing such shaky competition.
