Garguilo was the only offensive lineman for the Broncos who played more than one spot against the 49ers, but it was because Calvin Throckmorton left early with an injury. Garguilo played guard on both sides of the line and performed well, but it would be beneficial to see more reps at left guard and center.

Broncos starting quarterback Bo Nix and the first-team offense will get some playing time against the New Orleans Saints in the preseason finale next week, but they won't suit up against the Cards in Week 2. With just a few exceptions, most of Denver's starters won't play against the Cardinals.
