Overview
- On Tuesday at Day 13 of Broncos training camp a collapsed pocket knocked Bo Nix to the ground and heated exchanges built later in practice.
- Nix grabbed Nik Bonitto’s leg to pull him off a pile which produced a larger fight that teammates had to break up.
- Backup lineman Calvin Trockmorton was left bleeding on his face and was evaluated by trainers after the scuffle.
- Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph publicly warned players not to make contact with the quarterback while Nix called the intensity “football” and said he welcomed the physical work.
- Nix is coming off multiple offseason ankle surgeries and is scheduled to take part in the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers, a matchup that allows live hitting and raises focus on balancing contact with protecting the franchise quarterback.
