Broncos' Bo Nix to Get 1st NFL Preseason Start vs. Packers amid QB1 Duel with Stidham

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix will get his first preseason start on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, head coach Sean Payton said Friday.

Quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson will each get playing time after Nix on Sunday, Payton added.

Stidham started the Broncos' preseason opener over the Indianapolis Colts last weekend, going 4-of-7 for 37 yards and an interception.

Nix impressed in relief with 15-of-21 passing for 125 yards and a touchdown against the Colts, and could gain an edge in the race for QB1 with a strong performance on Sunday.
