NFL Teams Announce Preseason Quarterback Plans

As the NFL preseason begins, teams are making key decisions about their quarterbacks. Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton announced that Bo Nix will sit out the preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons on Friday. Nix, who underwent two right ankle surgeries in the offseason but has not missed any practice time, is scheduled to play in the Broncos' home games against the Green Bay Packers on Aug. 21 and the Minnesota Vikings a week later. Payton indicated that other starters will play about 10-15 snaps against the Falcons.
