Media watches Broncos OTA practice Thursday. Sutton, D.J. Jones among the absent.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo — Bo Nix was the quarterback with the No. 1 offense Thursday at the Broncos’ OTA practice.
Don’t read into it, at least not yet.
Broncos’ head coach Sean Payton said Jarrett Stidham was the No. 1 QB on Tuesday, the first day of OTAs. Zach Wilson was the top QB for the second OTA on Wednesday. Nix, the first-round rookie, worked with the top group Thursday.
“We go by what we see,” Payton said in explaining the process of picking a season-opening quarterback against Seattle on Sept. 8. “We’re trying to get them as many reps as possible. We rotate. We’re rotating all of them right now. … We’ll keep doing that right now. And it’s a good room.”
Payton later referred to his three quarterbacks as “orphaned dogs.” He was referring to how all three came from different homes. Stidham previously played for the Patriots and Raiders, Wilson with the Jets, and even the rookie Nix played for two college programs, Auburn and Oregon.
Not participating in the OTA practice Thursday:
- Courtland Sutton, WR
- D.J. Jones, DT
- Greg Dulcich, TE
- Dellarin Turner-Yell, safety
- Caden Sterns, safety
- Drew Sanders, LB
The last four were injury related. Sutton’s absence is contract related.
“There isn’t any concern. Here’s why,” Payton said. “That will sort itself out.”
It’s not known why Jones was absent. The defensive tackle has been attending the Broncos’ offseason program, a source said, but he was not present Thursday.
