Denver Broncos Address Concerns Before 2026 Season

The Denver Broncos are working to address concerns on their defensive line and quarterback position before the 2026 season.

What happened to the defensive line?

The team lost John Franklin-Myers to the Tennessee Titans in March, leaving a vacant spot on the defensive line.

The Broncos have Eyioma Uwazurike and Sai’vion Jones as potential replacements, but they have limited starting experience.

How will the quarterback position be filled?

Bo Nix, the team's quarterback, has been out with an injury since last season, but is making progress and expected to participate in training camp next month.

Nix had two ankle surgeries in January and April and is looking to make a full recovery.

The Denver Broncos are currently standing 14th in the National Football Conference with a 5-12 record, on a W1 streak.

What comes next for the Denver Broncos?

The team will face the Kansas City Chiefs on September 15, 2026, in their next game.

Sean Payton, the team's head coach, and Vance Joseph, the defensive coordinator, are working to fill the gaps on the defensive line and get the team ready for the upcoming season.

Malcolm Roach is expected to play a key role in stopping the run, and Joseph wants him on the field for early downs.

The Broncos have Tyler Onyedim, a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, as another option for the defensive end position.

Bo Nix is trying to make progress during the mandatory minicamp and is looking forward to the upcoming season.
