The 5 Biggest Camp Battles to Watch for Broncos

As Denver Broncos training camp approaches, the team still has multiple competition battles that could shape starters and depth charts. Veterans report on July 28, and the first major fight centers on the starting right defensive end spot after the loss of John Franklin-Myers. Several options are discussed, including Malcolm Roach and Eyioma Uwazurike, with Tyler Onyedim also considered despite the organization’s tendency not to play rookies unless necessary. The report notes that rotation among candidates may be used to keep the defensive line fresh. Another key battle is boundary cornerback opposite Patrick Surtain II, where Riley Moss faces second-year Jahdae Barron. Penalties affected Moss in 2025, while Barron’s limited rookie playing time makes the summer critical. At tight end, Denver appears to rely on veterans Adam Trautman and Evan Engram amid ongoing concerns, while also evaluating depth options like Nate Adkins, plus rookies Justin Joly, Caleb Lohner, Lucas Krull, and Dallen Bentley.
