AFC Notes: Bo Nix, Antonio Pierce, Courtland Sutton, Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders

Broncos

Broncos first-round QB Bo Nix has a strong performance in the team’s first preseason game, drawing praise from WR Courtland Sutton, who said the moment wasn’t too big for him. 

โ€œI think he handled it very well,โ€ Sutton said, via the teamโ€™s website. “[He] had a lot of poise, a lot of control. The moment wasnโ€™t too big for him. The moments are only going to get bigger. The preseason games donโ€™t count, but come Week One, whoever they decide to put out there as our starter, theyโ€™re going to have to handle that situation the best they possibly can.โ€

Chiefs

  • Adam Schefter reports that Chiefs WR Marquise Brown suffered a dislocation of his sternoclavicular shoulder joint on Saturday night and was later discharged from a Jacksonville-area hospital and returned to Kansas City. 

Raiders

Raiders HC Antonio Pierce said he felt that quarterbacks Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell played well in the preseason opener. 

โ€œI thought the quarterbacks responded well,โ€ Pierce said, via Vic Tafur of TheAthletic.com.

  • Per Tafur, Pierce hopes to make a starting quarterback decision after the next preseason game on Saturday.
  • Pierce also mentioned that WR Davante Adams was set to rejoin the team on Sunday following the birth of his son. (Paul Gutierrez)
