ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- As the Denver Broncos continue to close in on naming a starting quarterback, rookie Bo Nix will get his most extended opportunity with the starting offense in Sunday's home preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.

The Broncos and Packers held a joint practice Friday at the Broncos' south suburban Denver complex, with Nix working as the No. 1 quarterback most of the day. Coach Sean Payton has traditionally divided playing time in the preseason into "phases," with phase 1 being the game's starters.

"I think we're going to see Bo starting out in phase 1, (Jarrett Stidham) in phase 2 and Zach (Wilson) in phase 3,'' Payton said after Friday's practice.
