The Broncos are set to hit the road for one final preseason outing as they travel to New Orleans to face the Saints on Saturday.

"There's that 10 percent [of trades] that are difficult," Head Coach Sean Payton said. "This was one of those 10 percent."

"I can't say he's going to be medically ready to play Week 1, but close enough to where we're probably going to hold him [on the active roster]," Head Coach Sean Payton said Thursday.

Denver has agreed to terms on a trade with the Saints to acquire a 2026 fourth-round pick and 2027 seventh-round pick in exchange for wide receiver Devaughn Vele, the team announced Wednesday.

"There are some really good battles going on," Special Teams Coordinator/Assistant Head Coach Darren Rizzi said after Wednesday's practice. "I think going into this last game, that's one of the best things about this team is that that 53-man [roster] really hasn't been decided yet."

Denver waived rookie inside linebacker JB Brown in a corresponding move.

Coach French and the Hawks started 2025 strong with a 24-14 win over Cherry Creek.

"When you find a long run in the NFL, you probably find receivers doing a good job on the perimeter," Head Coach Sean Payton said.

Linebacker Dre Greenlaw also saw increased action on Tuesday.

Prentice, who competed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2021, appeared in 48 games for the Saints over the last four seasons.

"It was just good to see everybody work and doing something they love and truly have passion for," rookie cornerback Jahdae Barron said of his teammates. "I'm just excited for those guys. … It was amazing seeing those two guys just go to work and do something they love."

"It's happening, and I'm excited," Head Coach Sean Payton said of Troy Franklin after the game. "I think we've just got to be smart because he's playing two spots, but he's … had a really good camp."

The Denver Broncos face off against the Arizona Cardinals in their lone preseason home game.

Denver will pair its Summit White jerseys with white pants and white socks for the team's only home preseason matchup of 2025.

While a majority of the Broncos' starters aren't expected to play against the Cardinals on Saturday night (7:30 p.m. MT, 9NEWS/NFL Network), there's still plenty that matters in the prime-time matchup.

The Broncos designated defensive back Gregory Junior as waived/injured in a corresponding move.

The Broncos' preseason home matchup against the Cardinals is designed to highlight the next generation of Broncos Country.

"Put this Broncos D-lineman among the most underrated players in the entire league," Patra wrote. "He's a pocket-collapser. A people mover. A body slammer. A QB tormentor."

"I think this about the running game: It's going to be different," Payton said. "We've immediately upgraded that position. We brought in leadership with J.K. [Dobbins], we drafted [RJ] Harvey early. You're going to see a difference — and hopefully a remarkably different running game."

The Broncos' offense wrapped up training camp with a flourish.

"There will be a few," Payton said. "There's five or six players that are on an eight-play pitch count that we consider ones but maybe [they've had a] lack of reps or for whatever reason.

Head Coach Sean Payton also said tackle Garett Bolles, who exited practice early on Thursday, is "going to be fine." Bolles had an asthma-related issue, according to Payton.

In early 11-on-11 action on Wednesday, Cooper barreled into the Broncos' backfield for a would-be sack.
