Preseason 2024: Arizona Cardinals at Denver Broncos – Live Updates

Vaseline August 25, 2024

The Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals wrap up their respective preseasons today as the NFL prepares for one of the toughest stretches of the calendar year, with roster cuts just two days away. The tape these players put together in this game could very well land them on a practice squad in the coming days, so while many fans may be saying this game is meaningless, it certainly isn’t to those going into it.

Kickoff against the Cardinals is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Mile High Time on Sunday, August 25, 2024 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. The game will be televised nationally on CBS with Andrew Catalon on play-by-play, Tiki Barber and Jason McCourty on analysts and AJ Ross on sideline reporters. For the radio broadcast, tune in to KOA 850AM/94.1FM with Dave Logan, Rick Lewis and Susie Wargin.

In-game updates of Broncos vs. Cardinals

The initial count is 27 boys in training for the competition.

A few notable things:

CB Riley Moss doesn’t appear to be playing, but Damarri Mathis is.

C Luke Wattenberg doesn’t appear to be playing, but Alex Forsyth does.

That is the direction the fighting has taken in recent weeks.

#Bronco’s ILB Cody Barton is a leading candidate to start, but he has been on the field for the game and appears ready to play.

Brandon Jones and Levi Wallace appear ready to play today.

Good to see that they are healthy for the regular competition.

The Broncos’ starting offensive linemen against Arizona:

QB Jarrett Stidham, TE Nate Adkins (at FB), WR David Sills, WR Troy Franklin, RB Audric Estime, T Matt Peart, T Alex Palczewski, G Will Sherman, G Calvin Throckmorton, C Sam Mustipher, TE Lucas Krull

— Aric DiLalla (@AricDiLalla) August 25, 2024

Jarrett Stidham lines up and gets a hit on fourth-and-2, but he hands the ball to Devaughn Vele in the middle of the field for a first down.

Nice to see Vele again.

Touchdown, Audric Estimé, 3-yard run.

The Broncos’ drive spanned 10 plays, and Estimé touched the ball on six of them. He had one catch for 14 yards and five carries for 17 yards, including the score.

BAG

Jordan Jackson, his SECOND of the day

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) August 25, 2024

Jordan Jackson makes his case for the 53-man roster, with a sack on the final play and a chase that botches a third-down swing pass on the ensuing series, allowing Matt Henningsen and Devon Key to stop the ball and lead to a run.

Broncos’ Durrell Nchami, who is competing for the fifth OLB position, suffered a hamstring injury and it remains to be seen whether he will return.
