The Denver Broncos are facing down two absolutely massive questions on offense as 2026 training camp kicks off, and these aren’t small issues. Forget the minor shuffling of John Franklin-Myers and Dre Greenlaw leaving, or even the addition of Jaylen Waddle; as ESPN’s Jeff Legwold highlighted, these two question marks around quarterback Bo Nix and offensive coordinator Davis Webb are the real story for Denver.
Is Bo Nix’s Ankle Championship-Worthy?
This is the big one, folks. The whole “championship-worthy” question for the Broncos’ offense starts and ends with Bo Nix. Remember that brutal divisional playoff win over the Buffalo Bills? Nix fractured his right ankle late in that game, and he’s already had two surgical procedures on it. That’s not just a bump or a bruise; that’s serious stuff. He absolutely has to prove during training camp that he’s back, healthy, and ready to roll for the entire 2026 season. If Nix can show he’s not hampered by that ankle injury, then yeah, there’s a lot to be confident about with this offense. You’ve got that solid running back room, a strong offensive line, and the wide receiver group just got a boost with Waddle joining up. But all that potential goes out the window if their QB isn’t 100%.
Davis Webb’s Massive Play-Calling Challenge
But wait, there’s more! The questions about this offense aren’t just about Nix. They also revolve around new offensive coordinator Davis Webb. Here’s the kicker: Webb isn’t just the new OC, he’s also calling plays. That’s a huge shift for Sean Payton, who has been calling plays for literally two decades as an NFL head coach. Payton is trying out something completely different here, and the stakes are sky-high. How Webb handles play-calling during training camp and the preseason is going to be crucial for figuring out how this offense clicks, or doesn’t, in 2026. A poor play-caller can hold back even a talented team. Webb’s got to get off to a strong start this summer, even if proving he’s a good play-caller completely is tough in camp.
Training camp is going to be absolutely vital for the Broncos this year. Both the Nix health question and Webb’s first shot at play-calling will start getting answers as the regular season looms. Broncos fans better be paying close attention, because these huge questions will shape their entire season.
