Breaking News: Joint Practices Offer Insights for Broncos and 49ers Ahead of Preseason Opener
The Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers recently held joint practices in Santa Clara, California, as part of their preparations for their upcoming preseason game.
The practices provided ample material for analysis, recording, and emotional response. The Denver Broncos' defense stood out, with players like Ja’Quan McMillian, Riley Moss, and JL Skinner making strong plays, contributing to Denver dominating the first half of practice. Bo Nix, the Broncos' quarterback, controlled the pace of play, showing a sharp performance especially in red zone situations, including notable completions to receivers like Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin.
On offense, Broncos receivers Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Marvin Mims stood out, demonstrating playmaking abilities during the sessions. The San Francisco 49ers improved their performance in the second half of practice, with key players such as George Kittle, Christian McCaffery, Brandon Aiyuk, Ricky Pearsall, and Brock Purdy making contributions.
Broncos head coach Sean Payton was satisfied with the Broncos' offensive work during practice and planned to review the defensive side more closely, noting the physical nature of practice but without any major conflicts on the field. The joint practice helped Denver prepare effectively for the preseason opener against San Francisco, where despite a somewhat uneven game day showing by Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, the Broncos won 30-9. Payton emphasized the importance of using the practice and subsequent game for debrief and improvement.
For the 49ers, some concerns arose including an injury to rookie first-round pick Mikel Williams (hyperextended knee), which would keep him out of the upcoming preseason game. Nick Bosa showed positive returns after rest, consistently beating offensive linemen during the practices.
