The new-look Broncos will have QB Jarrett Stidham under center to start against a Colts defense, which is expected to use their starters. Newcomer QB Zach Wilson and 1st-round draft pick QB Bo Nix are also expected to see action.
The Broncos will welcome back WR Tim Patrick, as he has missed back-to-back seasons due to ugly injuries. The team plans to also see plenty of action from free-agent addition WR Josh Reynolds, as well as WRs Marvin Mims and rookie Troy Franklin.
The Colts announced they plan to play starters, including QB Anthony Richardson. He hasn’t played in nearly 10 months due to a season-ending shoulder injury suffered early last season. While Richardson is playing, head coach Shane Steichen has been adamant that starters will play just a series or 2.
