The Denver Broncos are set to start Jarrett Stidham in their preseason finale on August 28 against the Minnesota Vikings, indicating he may have secured the QB2 position. Starting quarterback Bo Nix is not expected to play, leaving Stidham and Sam Ehlinger to manage the quarterback duties. Despite the likelihood of Stidham starting, Ehlinger could see significant playing time, potentially showcasing his skills for other teams.
