Skinner in coverage Ryan Edwards (@redwardsradio) July 31, 2026Better work from the defense second time through in team. Riley Moss had back-to-back PBUs.

Aric DiLalla (@AricDiLalla) July 31, 202619. Broncos view Ben Powers as a starter Ben Powers is doing fantastic and the Broncos see him as a starter, per Sean Payton. Did add there is always competition. Zac Stevens (@ZacStevens) July 31, 2026#Broncos coach Sean Payton on whether Ben Powers, who took pay cut after injury-riddled season, could be pushed at left guard by Alex Palczewski. Theres always going to be competition. Hes doing fantastic. And we certainly see him as a starter. And hes playing well. Chris Tomasson (@christomasson) July 31, 202620. Reporter takeaways after Day 1#Broncos Training Camp Day 1 thoughts:-A lot of fireworks from the offense, attacking deep often-Big plays from Engram, Sutton, Mims, Butler, Franklin, Bandy-Waddle is ELITE off of the line-Nix looked very comfortable-Reid strip/fumble recovery-Moss/Austin PBUs Ryan Edwards (@redwardsradio) July 31, 2026More:-Riley Moss great day at CB-Karene Reid w/forced fumble at ILB, Brent Austin nice diving PBU in team-Safeties iffy in coverage today (JL Skinner beat by Mims)-Que Robinson + Dondrea Tillman could be in a potential OLB4 competition -Jarrett Stidham sharp Luca Evans (@bylucaevans) July 31, 2026Biggest takeaways from Broncos training camp practice today:Jaylen Waddle had a REALLY good first day of campEvan Engram arguably the star of the day, catching a pass from every QB, including 50+ yard bomb from StidhamPlay of the day: Bo Nix with a DEEP 50-yard pic.twitter.com/VjdNxKcMLE Zac Stevens (@ZacStevens) July 31, 2026Perhaps most importantly, Bo Nix looked comfortable while being put more on the run than he was during acclimation workouts. Ran up in the pocket well and found space on the edge to find throwing angles. Nick Kosmider (@NickKosmider) July 31, 202621. J.K. Dobbins promises to stay healthyJ.K. Dobbins said he will pinky promise everyone that hell finally play all 17 games this year.Asked him how he plans to control that. He said hes back to being as flexible as he was younger. Im gonna be like Elasti-Boy, or Elastigirl or something. pic.twitter.com/6uNlx0dVl9 Luca Evans (@bylucaevans) July 31, 202622. Standout of the day: TE Evan EngramTwo immediate takeaways from first couple periods of #Broncos practice today:-Evan Engram could well be more involved with Davis Webb as play-caller, particularly in hurry-up situations-Eyioma Uwazurike and Jordan Jackson will have big roles to play in DL competition Luca Evans (@bylucaevans) July 31, 2026Evan Engram the standout of Denvers first 11-v-11 period of camp. Caught a beautifully thrown deep ball from Jarrett Stidham for a TD and then snatched the ball just before it hit the ground on an intermediate cross. Nick Kosmider (@NickKosmider) July 31, 2026Cannot emphasize enough that just on pure eye test, Evan Engram has thus far been the biggest winner of #Broncos camp Day 1Just had a shoestring grab on a deep crosser from Sam Ehlinger. https://t.co/XQL75f0EqU Luca Evans (@bylucaevans) July 31, 2026Evan Engram is having a DAY:Been targeted multiple times with multiple catches during team, including the 50-yard bomb from Jarrett Stidham.The Davis Webb play caller seems to be benefitting him a ton. Zac Stevens (@ZacStevens) July 31, 2026Evan Engram is having a day. Might be the guy who benefits most from Davis Webb calling plays Romi Bean (@Romi_Bean) July 31, 2026Big team period overall for Engram. Heavily involved. Hes tight with new play caller Davis Webb. Let the overreaction commence! https://t.co/OsV55mmrKl Parker Gabriel (@ParkerJGabriel) July 31, 2026Asked Sean Payton if Davis Webb is bringing new ideas on utilizing Evan Engram, given Webb and Engrams previous relationship in NY.I would say yes, to some degree. I think (Davis) is trying to find different ways where, you might have a matchup. pic.twitter.com/pg0S9er0Ak Luca Evans (@bylucaevans) July 31, 2026Denver will be back on the practice field for Day 2 on Saturday, followed by a day off on Sunday. After that, the team will return to practice on Monday.Social: FollowBroncos WireonFacebookandTwitter/X!Did you know:These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.This article originally appeared on Broncos Wire: 22 notes and highlights after Day 1 of Broncos training camp
