Live updates and highlights from Packers’ preseason showdown vs. Broncos

The Green Bay Packers are in Denver to play Sean Payton’s Broncos at EmPower Field at Mile High in a preseason clash on Sunday night.

The two teams engaged in a joint practice on Friday, so Packers coach Matt LaFleur has decided most starters and veterans won’t play on Sunday.

The primetime game — if such a thing exists in the preseason — will be televised nationally on NFL Network.

Bo Nix is slicing and dicing the Packers backup defense. He threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Tim Patrick to extend the lead to 10-0 early in the second quarter. Nix, the Broncos’ top pick, is 8-of-9 passes for 80 yards and a score.

The Broncos took the early lead after a 14-yard Bo Nix touchdown pass was negated by an illegal forward pass penalty. Nix was otherwise perfect passing on the drive. Lutz kicked a short field goal to put the Broncos up 3-0.

The Packers report 31 players won’t play on Sunday night, including quarterback Jordan Love, running back Josh Jacobs, the top four wide receivers, the top two tight ends and most of the starting defense.
