The Drive | Hour 2 | 08.28.26

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos as they get set for their third and final preseason game tonight. With Bo Nix not playing, what is the biggest storyline heading into the game? With roster cut day around the corner, we project what the Broncos' 53-man roster will look like. Will the Broncos keep all three quarterbacks? Will the Broncos keep a 4^th running back as insurance for JK Dobbins' injury history? How many offensive linemen will they keep? Our 9News Broncos insider Mike Klis joins the show to discuss his projections for the 53-man roster, the latest with the Jonathan Cooper legal situation, and much more. Today's "Three Count" features Cale Makar's historic contract extension with the Avalanche, the Avs cap table moving forward, and how Nathan MacKinnon will feel about Makar making so much more money than him. How will Makar's contract impact how the Avs construct their roster moving forward? How have the expectations for Makar changed?
