NFL Preseason Reveals Key Losers for Colts, Chargers, Broncos

The NFL preseason has revealed significant challenges for several teams as they finalize their rosters for the upcoming season. The Indianapolis Colts' head coach Shane Steichen faced criticism for mishandling the quarterback competition between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson, ultimately naming Jones the starter despite ongoing uncertainty about the position. The Los Angeles Chargers witnessed veteran quarterback Taylor Heinicke struggle, with poor performances likely jeopardizing his spot on the 53-man roster as backup Trey Lance impressed. Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos showed promise with a 3-0 preseason under Sean Payton, but rookie tight end Caleb Lohner disappointed expectations, casting doubt on his immediate impact. Despite Lohner's struggles, other Broncos players like Bo Nix and Jalen Robinson stood out, while the team's overall momentum points toward contender status. These preseason outcomes underscore the importance of roster decisions as teams prepare for the regular season.
