Summary

  • RJ Harvey capped Denver's opening possession with a Bo Nix touchdown pass, giving the Broncos an immediate scoring drive against Green Bay in their second preseason game.
  • Nix was playing only a few series in his return from the season-ending ankle injury he suffered after Denver's postseason win over Buffalo.
  • Jaylen Waddle also flashed early, turning his first catch as a Bronco into a 35-yard gain as Denver opened its first home game of the 2026 season.
  • The appearance built on Nix's earlier preseason return, when he completed 6 of 9 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown without visible injury limitations.
