Denver Broncos football is back. The NFL preseason officially launched on Thursday night with the Hall of Fame Game, and the Broncos' exhibition opponents are coming up soon. Here's everything you need to know to catch all three of the Broncos' preseason games this month. Game 1: at Atlanta FalconsDenver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (14) pulls in a reception over Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J.

For what it's worth, Bo Nix played in Game 1 last year and in Game 3, though that's no guarantee that he'll do the same this summer, especially coming off ankle surgery. What we'll really be watching for is how the depth players perform in an actual game. Preseason games don't count, but they do matter, especially for the guys fighting to make the Broncos' 53-man roster. We've seen many awesome position battles taking shape in training camp, and the preseason games will continue to separate the players who belong on the roster. Game 2: vs. Green Bay PackersDenver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (10) shakes hands with Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (10) following a game at Empower Field at Mile High. | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectDate: August 21Time: 7 pm MDTLocation: Empower Field at Mile High, Denver, COTelevision: KUSA/Channel 9Play-By-Play: Steve LevyColor Analyst: Ryan HarrisSideline: Cynthia FrelundSideline: Scottie GrangeStream: NFL+ (Subscription Required)Local Radio: KOA/850 AM | 94.1 FMPlay-By-Play: Dave LoganColor Analyst: Rick LewisSideline: Susie WarginWhat to Watch ForThis one might be all about the backups. The position battles will continue to tighten.

Considering how much experience this roster has now, I'm not sure they starters need to play much, if at all, especially considering how tough the initial regular-season schedule is.
