Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers face preseason developments

The Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers are navigating various developments during their NFL preseason campaigns. Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton provided an update on cornerback Riley Moss, stating his rib injury is ‘nothing serious’ after Moss was sidelined during a game against the Green Bay Packers.

Despite the positive news on Moss, the Broncos have faced challenges with their special teams unit. Coach Payton noted deficiencies in kickoff coverage and rushing numbers, with the team allowing significant yardage on kick returns in preseason matchups against the Atlanta Falcons and Packers.

In contrast, the San Francisco 49ers have shown strength in their special teams, bolstered by Eddy Piñeiro’s field goal accuracy and Jacob Cowing’s punt return performance. The 49ers are also evaluating rookie talent, including wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling and linebacker Jaden Dugger, as they prepare for the regular season.
