Broncos coach Sean Payton expects QB Russell Wilson, healthy players to play in preseason opener

Sean Payton called his shot all the way back in March and hasn’t changed his tune yet.

Broncos starters are going to see time in the preseason. Some will be held back next Friday at Arizona for the preseason opener if they’re dealing with injuries. Some, like running back Javonte Williams, may see time later on as rehabilitations continue. But most or all will play at some point and many will see time against the Cardinals.

“I haven’t shelled it out yet, but (starters) are going to play,” he said. “We’ll figure out the snaps. We typically break the game into three phases, first, second and third phase and then special teams we might just have two phases, but we’ll have a plan, especially as we get into next week.
