Sutton failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Broncos' 33-13 preseason loss to the Packers on Friday.

Sutton made his second straight preseason start, but unlike his three-catch, 60-yard effort against the Falcons in the exhibition opener, the veteran wideout was blanked Friday. Nevertheless, Sutton naturally has plenty of rapport already with Bo Nix, so the duo likely will next see the field in a Week 1 road matchup against the Chiefs on Monday night, Sept. 14.

Harvey rushed once for five yards and brought in both targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 33-13 preseason loss to the Packers on Friday.

Harvey opened the game as the starting running back due to J.K. Dobbins sitting out, and the former capped off Denver's opening drive with a 21-yard touchdown reception immediately following a four-yard catch. Harvey appears ticketed for a high-volume No. 2 role behind Dobbins in 2026 after generating 896 yards from scrimmage and 12 total touchdowns across 17 regular-season games during his rookie 2025 campaign.

Watson brought in two of three targets for 19 yards in the Packers' 33-13 preseason win over the Broncos on Friday.

Watson was involved right from the start of Friday's game, drawing a target on the first play from scrimmage that went incomplete and then recording a 14-yard grab on the second. The veteran receiver's other reception was a five-yard catch in the red zone later in the opening drive, and the oft-injured Watson likely will next take the field in a Week 1 road matchup against the Vikings on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Nix completed six of nine passes for 76 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Broncos' 33-13 preseason loss to the Packers on Friday.

Drawing the start after sitting out the Broncos' preseason opener, Nix helped Denver answer a Packers' opening-drive touchdown with a sharp possession of his own. The third-year signal-caller couldn't connect with Courtland Sutton deep on his first pass attempt, but he went right back to Jaylen Waddle for a 35-yard gain on the next play. Nix would cap off the possession three plays later with a 21-yard scoring strike to RJ Harvey, and he was back out there the second time the Broncos had the ball and helped lead them to three more points. The fact Nix played into the second quarter makes it likelier he sits out the preseason finale against the Vikings and next takes the field on Monday night, Sept. 14 in a Week 1 road battle against the Chiefs.

Love completed five of seven passes for 56 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Packers' 33-13 preseason win over the Broncos on Friday.

Love got the start for the second time in as many preseason games and began his night by leading a 12-play, 63-yard march that culminated in an 11-yard touchdown pass to MarShawn Lloyd. Love also recorded completions of 14 and five yards to Christian Watson, as well as a 19-yard strike to Matthew Golden. The veteran signal-caller was done for the night after that opening possession, and given he also played one series in the exhibition opener against the Steelers, Love's next time on the field likely will be in a Week 1 NFC North road showdown against the Vikings.

Waddle brought in his only target for 35 yards in the Broncos' 33-13 preseason loss to the Packers on Friday.

Making his team debut, Waddle made very good use of his one opportunity during his brief time in the game Friday. The speedy offseason addition got loose down the seam on a third-and-5 play and gained an additional 10 yards after the catch to put Denver deep into Green Bay territory. Waddle looked completely unencumbered by the muscle tightness in his leg that had plagued him earlier in the week, and Friday's cameo may represent the extent of the 2021 first-round pick's game action until a Week 1 Monday night road showdown against the Chiefs.

Abdullah carried the ball six times for 45 yards and caught three of four targets for 37 yards in Friday's 34-17 preseason loss to the Panthers.

With the Jaguars' resting Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez and LeQuint Allen sidelined by a soft-tissue injury, Abdullah and DeeJay Dallas split the backfield reps in the first half. While they each saw nine touches, Abdullah outgained his competition 82 scrimmage yards to 40, and Dallas also lost a fumble. Even at age 33, Abdullah still looks like he can contribute as a passing-down option and kickoff returner, and if Allen isn't 100 percent by Week 1, the veteran could claim the RB3 role to begin the season.

Williams caught all four of his targets for 22 yards and gained two rushing yards on his lone carry during Friday's 34-17 preseason loss to the Panthers.

Four of Williams' five touches came in the first quarter with Nick Mullens under center, as the Jaguars rested their likely Week 1 starters on offense. Williams is battling fellow sixth-round rookie Josh Cameron for a spot on the gameday roster, but neither should be expected to see a significant role unless injuries to Parker Washington (undisclosed) and Jakobi Meyers (hand) linger into the regular season.

Cameron caught both his targets for 41 yards in Friday's 34-17 preseason loss to the Panthers.

The 2026 sixth-round pick made both his receptions in the first quarter with Nick Mullens under center, as the Jaguars rested their likely Week 1 starters on offense. Cameron is battling fellow sixth-round rookie C.J. Williams for a spot on the gameday roster, but neither should be expected to see a significant role unless injuries to Parker Washington (undisclosed) and Jakobi Meyers (hand) linger into the regular season.

Mullens completed six of seven passes for 65 yards in Friday's 34-17 preseason loss to the Panthers.

The Jaguars rested their starters in this one, so Mullens was under center for the first quarter and led the offense on one field-goal drive in two possessions before turning things over to Carter Bradley. Mullens figures to be the No. 2 quarterback this year behind Trevor Lawrence, a role that may not require him to see much action -- Lawrence has played all 17 regular-season games in three of his five NFL seasons.
