Following a day off on Sunday, the Denver Broncos were back on the practice field for Day 9 of training camp on Monday. Here are a few quick notes and highlights from the ninth practice of the summer.12. No word on if starters will play Friday I asked Payton if he will play Bo Nix on Friday He was noncommittal and said he will let media know Chris Tomasson (@christomasson) August 10, 2026Payton wouldn't say if Bo Nix and other starters will play in Atlanta (on turf) in the team's preseason opener. We should get word on that front later this week. 11. Sean Payton thinks J.K. Dobbins will be fine Sean Payton thinks J.K.

Reporter takeaways after Monday's practice Longest practice of Broncos training camp so far by my count comes on Day 9. 2h 28m. Literally ran the clock as it was a BIG run heavy day.

CB Brent Austin and DL Eyioma Uwazurike stand outEchoing what D.J. Jones said last week: Blocking Eyioma Uwazurike has been a chore in this camp.Also, a UDFA who keeps showing flashes: CB Brent Austin. Nick Kosmider (@NickKosmider) August 10, 20267. J.K. Dobbins left practice early J.K. Dobbins jogged into the locker room with trainers Henry Chisholm (@HenryChisholm) August 10, 2026Hoping nothing serious for the veteran running back. Did not see J.K. Dobbins after he left practice midway through. Parker Gabriel (@ParkerJGabriel) August 10, 20266. Broncos QB Bo Nix looks healthy Nothing to worry about with Bo Nix.Bo sprinted to the left, got the edge and took off.Great run by Bo. Zac Stevens (@ZacStevens) August 10, 2026Great to hear that Nix is moving around well. He's performing, too. Nice team period for Bo NixConnections to Pat Bryant for first down, Courtland Sutton with a big catch vs. KAD, and an absolute drop in Dot to Troy Franklin right over J-Mac and in front of safety for 20+. Cody Roark (@CodyRoarkNFL) August 10, 20265. Broncos rookie OL Kage Casey continues to impressKage Casey was dominant in his one-on-one reps today, as he mostly has been throughout camp. Exceptionally strong lower body and he is tough to dislodge, but he shows the quickness to get said and defuse a second move, too. Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) August 10, 20264. Pat Surtain working on side field Quite busy on the side field. Prominent players working out there include Pat Surtain II, Jaylen Waddle, Marvin Mims Jr., Luke Wattenberg, Nate Adkins and 2025 All-Pro Devon Key. Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) August 10, 2026Perhaps a veteran rest day for PS2.3.
