The Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos played their starters last weekend in their respective preseason openers. That will not be the case when the two teams face one another Saturday night. The Cardinals and Broncos held a joint practice on Thursday in Denver, and that will be the "preseason" work the starters get.

On the first field, Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had his best day of training camp, throwing darts to Courtland Sutton and Devaughn Vele while catching a break from having to face Denver's suffocating defense on Thursday.
