This is fantastic news for the second and third-string players, who will see a lot of action in the first preseason game. The coaching staff saw arguably the greatest upheaval of all, but considering that Payton is an established NFL figure, Denver should be able to get started immediately. Due to a challenging schedule and a new coaching staff, the Broncos face a long and challenging path ahead of them, but for now, they’ll be OK in their first preseason game of the year.
