The Denver Broncos enter their preseason finale vs. the New Orleans Saints with many questions to answer. Almost all of the questions pertaining to starting units have been answered, but the Broncos still have several spots on the roster and practice squad to decide on.
For those fans hungry to catch another glimpse of Bo Nix ahead of the regular-season opener, let’s break down how to watch Broncos-Saints.

The Broncos traded second-year wideout Devaughn Vele to the Saints on Wednesday, which brings back memories of the Demaryius Thomas trade to the Houston Texans back in 2018. If he plays, Vele’s first game as a Saint will be against his former team, so it’ll be interesting to see if he suits up.
Saints head coach Kellen Moore said that he plans to play most of his starters vs. the Broncos. The Saints also just named Spencer Rattler the starting quarterback, and Broncos fans will remember going against him last year in the regular season.
That game didn’t turn out too well for Rattler, who was sacked six times by the Broncos defense and fumbled the ball away twice. However, quarterbacks often take a big leap forward in Year 2, and with a young offensive-minded head coach in his corner, it’ll be interesting to see how Rattler comports himself in what’s sure to be limited action.
Unlike last year, Broncos head coach Sean Payton plans to play his starting quarterback in the final preseason game, including Nix. Payton rested the majority of his starters in preseason Game 2, so perhaps he wants to give Nix and company one last bite at the summer apple, brief though it’s expected to be.
