They denied charges and were remanded in custody for trial on 4 December.
The pair deny assault occasioning actual bodily harm against Leo Wardrop on 17 July.
Lee Monk, of Silfield Road, Wymondham, and John Monk, of Albini Way, Wymondham, sat together beside a prison officer on the video link from Norwich Prison.
Judge Stephen Holt moved the hearing to a larger courtroom to accommodate more than a dozen people in the public gallery.
Following Mr Rogers' death, his stepfather Andrew Steadman said in a written tribute: "Behind the typical young lad bravado, Nick was a warm and caring soul and would always help others where and when he could.
"His loss will leave a huge void in our lives."
Mr Rogers' mother, Sue Rogers, said: "Words cannot describe the overwhelming, gut-wrenching sadness and anger we are all feeling at the loss of Nicholas."
