NFL teams are not often not fans of preseason games due to the potential for star players to suffer injuries in meaningless action.
In recent years, clubs often sit their starters until the final exhibition game or opt against dressing them for the entire preseason. It’s surprising when a coach states that he is going to play his starters prior to the regular season. It’s even more perplexing to hear that an elite quarterback, among others, will suit up in the opening preseason game.
Well, Broncos fans, buckle up.
