DENVER, CO - February 1, 2026 - The Denver Broncos electrified fans today with their first practice at Empower Field at Mile High, marking the official start of their 2026 training camp. Thousands of eager supporters braved the chill to catch a glimpse of their team as they gear up for what Broncos Country hopes will be a championship season.

The atmosphere was palpable as the team took to the field, a stark contrast to the closed-door sessions typically dominating the early stages of camp. This open practice, a tradition embraced by the organization, provides a crucial opportunity for coaches to assess talent - both established veterans and promising rookies - under game-like conditions. More importantly, it allows the passionate Denver fanbase to connect with the team and share in the excitement building towards the upcoming NFL season.

The focus, as always, was on evaluating key position battles. While the starting roles appear largely settled after significant investments in free agency and a strong draft class, competition remains fierce for depth chart spots. Observers noted intense battles at wide receiver, with several undrafted free agents vying to earn a place on the 53-man roster. The linebacker corps also saw significant competition, particularly between returning players and the newest draft picks. Coaches are particularly keen on identifying players who excel on special teams, a consistently strong element of Bronco's gameplay.

All eyes were naturally drawn to quarterback Russell Wilson, now entering his fourth season with the Broncos. Wilson, coming off a markedly improved 2025 campaign, looked sharp and confident during drills. While acknowledging the need for continuous improvement, Wilson expressed optimism about the team's offensive capabilities. "We're building something special here," Wilson stated in a post-practice interview. "The chemistry is growing, the offensive line is solidifying, and the receiving corps is hungry. We're focused on taking that next step."

The Broncos' journey to contention was hampered by a disappointing 2022 season, a year many fans would prefer to forget. The team narrowly missed the playoffs in 2023 and 2024, failing to capitalize on promising offensive talent. However, a series of strategic moves during the offseason, including the acquisition of veteran offensive lineman, Marcus Henderson, and the drafting of dynamic running back, Jamal Carter, signal a renewed commitment to building a consistent contender. Henderson's presence is expected to significantly bolster pass protection and open running lanes, while Carter is being touted as a potential game-changer in the backfield.

Beyond on-field performance, the Broncos organization is emphasizing community engagement throughout training camp. Several events are planned to connect players with local youth organizations, fostering a sense of camaraderie and goodwill. This commitment to social responsibility is seen as a key component of the team's long-term success.

The 2026 NFL season promises to be highly competitive, with several teams vying for supremacy. The AFC West, in particular, is shaping up to be a brutal division, with the Kansas City Chiefs remaining a formidable opponent. The Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers have also made significant acquisitions, further intensifying the rivalry. To overcome these challenges, the Broncos will need to rely on strong leadership, disciplined play, and unwavering fan support.

Today's stadium practice wasn't just about evaluating players; it was about igniting hope and setting the tone for a season filled with possibility. It was a clear message to the league: the Denver Broncos are back, and they are determined to compete for a championship. The next few weeks will be crucial as the team refines its strategies, solidifies its roster, and prepares to face the challenges ahead. The energy at Empower Field today was a testament to the enduring passion of Broncos fans, and a sign that good things are on the horizon.

Training camp continues next week with daily practices open to the public, culminating in a preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks on August 15th.
