The Denver Broncos have released their first depth chart of 2026, but it should be taken with a grain of salt.
NFL rules require teams to release depth charts before their first preseason game, but Broncos coach Sean Payton clearly doesn't like the exercise, and the club calls it an "unofficial" depth chart. Still, it comes straight from the team, so it's our best reference for a rough estimation of how players stack up during preseason.
One big note: Payton puts rookies at the back of the line, so players like running back Jonah Coleman are listed last at their position, even though the training camp rotation suggests that's not actually the case. With the caveats out of the way, here's a look at the Broncos' depth chart going into the team's first preseason game.
QB1: Bo Nix
QB2: Jarrett Stidham
