What happened: Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph discussed the intensity of a recent training camp practice and the ongoing progress of defensive back Jahdae Barron. The session featured a scrum among linemen after quarterback Bo Nix threw an interception and intervened in the pile.

Why it matters: Camp intensity frequently flares as the preseason progresses, and Joseph emphasized the need to protect the quarterback during practice altercations. Barron's development remains a defensive focus after he logged a 97-yard pick-six in a recent preseason win.

What to watch: Denver continues its preseason schedule as the coaching staff evaluates the roster ahead of the 2026 campaign.
