SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Joint practices always provide plenty of fodder, film and feelings.
The Broncos felt good about their work overall Thursday against San Francisco here. Here’s a rundown of the day’s setup and notes, primarily about what Denver’s offense did against the Niners’ defense.
Attendance
Did not practice: Physically Unable to Perform list — WR A.T. Perry (foot/ankle). Injured reserve — OLB Johnny Walker Jr. Out — ILB Alex Singleton (thumb), ILB Drew Sanders (foot), ILB Dre Greenlaw (quad), S Brandon Jones. Dropped out — DL Matt Henningsen.
Jones was the only new addition to the injury list before practice. He was not in uniform or milling around like Singleton and Greenlaw were. Payton didn’t provide an update on Jones but said he didn’t have a high level of concern.
Henningsen was hurt midway through the practice and didn’t return. Fellow DL John Franklin-Myers came up limping at one point but was able to rejoin practice.
Payton said Greenlaw “probably” will not play in Saturday’s preseason opener but will “be back working full speed on Monday.”
Takeaway of the day
Bo Nix and his receivers are getting good at making things happen when a play breaks down.
Call it the second act or whatever term you like, but Denver’s receivers are getting into a better rhythm at moving with Nix and giving him options as he extends plays by moving up in the pocket or getting out on the edge.
“We’ve been practicing that, really this offseason, this training camp,” Nix said. “It’s hard to really do them, because they’re so, like, abrupt. They just come, they’re out of nowhere.”
One particular play, top receiver Courtland Sutton caught a toe-drag touchdown in the red zone. But it was one of many such plays on the day for Denver’s offense.
“We’ve seen this with other quarterbacks,” Payton said. “Shoot, Aaron Rodgers in the red zone was one of the best. The play doesn’t develop, and in concert, the play moves with him. And so, it’s practiced, and then when you begin to see — it happened probably four times today. There’s certain scramble moves that we discussed — far receiver, near receiver, backside receiver — in regard to getting in phase with the quarterback.”
