Quick notes and takeaways from Broncos-Packers joint practice

The Denver Broncos hosted the Green Bay Packers for a joint practice on Friday ahead of their preseason showdown on Sunday night. Here are a few quick notes and takeaways from the joint training camp practice.

Broncos injury report: Cornerbacks Levi Wallace (hamstring) and Art Green (hamstring) were held out of practice and wide receiver Devaughn Vele (undisclosed) did not practice after exiting yesterday’s session with an unknown ailment.

Scuffles, but no big fights: Denver and Green Bay had a few scuffles — including some hoopla after Nik Bonitto appeared to make contact with Jordan Love — but the teams didn’t have any big fights.

Zach Wilson impresses: All three of the Broncos’ quarterbacks had pretty good practices, but Wilson seems to have stood out. Of course, fans and Denver want to know about his competition …

Bo Nix was solid: Nix fooled Rashan Gary on a play-action play and connected with Tim Patrick (who had a good practice). Nix also tossed touchdown passes to Phillip Dorsett and Michael Bandy. It sounds like it was a solid day overall for the rookie.

Courtland Sutton gets style points: After catching a touchdown pass from Jarrett Stidham, Studdon dunked a ball over the goalposts.

Broncos’ defense played well: Defenders aren’t supposed to contact QBs at practice, but Barron Browning likely would have sacked Love at least once in a real game. Bonitto was also credited with a “sack.” Denver’s secondary also had a good showing and they clinched a “victory” during end-of-game drills.

No big fights, no big injuries. Good reps across the board. We’ll call it a successful joint practice for Denver and Green Bay.
