Sean Payton’s new-look training camp continues to feature changes.

The Broncos head coach is deviating from his normal August routine and said Thursday he plans to sit nearly all of his starters in Saturday’s home preseason game against Arizona.

Most of them, however, will get 8-10 snaps or so in Denver’s Aug. 23 preseason finale at New Orleans.

The rationale: Most of the Broncos’ top-line players have seen big workloads already over the past week. They played in a grueling joint practice against San Francisco, then saw three drives (offense) and two drives (defense), respectively, against the 49ers in the actual game. Then came Thursday’s joint practice here against the Cardinals.

“Neither (Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon) or myself are going to play the No. 1s,” Payton said Thursday.
