Just like that, the open portion of Broncos training camp is finished.
The team plays Arizona on Saturday night and then returns to closed practices next week before its preseason finale Aug. 23 at New Orleans.
Sean Payton’s team, though, went out with a bang on Thursday over two-plus hours of joint practice with the Cardinals.
Payton had high praise for Arizona head coach Jonathan Gannon, and he said Thursday’s joint practice was among the most productive he’s had in his long career as a head coach.
“I thought both teams were outstanding just relative to the tempo and communication,” Payton said.
