Broncos likely to get Peyton Manning 10-12 plays in preseason vs. Bears - For their final full practice prior to their first preseason game of the 2012 season, the third- and fourth-stringers got almost as many reps Tuesday as Peyton Manning and the first-teamers. The Broncos will play Thursday night against Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall and the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. ”They’re going to play in crunch time and that’s the fourth quarter,” Broncos coach John Fox said of his players who are currently at the back-end of the depth chart. “You want to give them every chance to have success, so that’s what’s always fun about the first preseason game.” Read more from the Denver Post >>>>
Broncos’ Ben Garland gets helping hand from teammates after Colorado wildfire - Even now, in the second week of training camp, the Broncos provided a reminder that there are things far greater than football. Broncos defensive players surprised teammate Ben Garland by presenting him with new Air Force Academy sabers and a Falcons helmet to replace the special mementos he lost when his grandparents’ home was destroyed in the Waldo Canyon Fire. Garland, a defensive lineman who gradated from the Academy in 2010, had searched the rubble for the sabers, hoping they had survived. What he found was warped and melted scraps of metal.

Brooking’s Sights Set High - When linebacker Keith Brooking got word the Broncos wanted to work him out, he didn’t waste any time. In fact, he told his agent he’d book his own plane ticket. ”I came in this morning, ran around a little bit, showed them that this 37-year-old body can still move,” Brooking said. “The circumstances had to be right for me. I wanted to play for a contender, and this team was right up there on the list. It worked out great.” Read more from Denver Broncos >>>>
Stepping Up for a Teammate - Training camp is about competition. When camp begins, there are 90 players in the locker room. A few weeks later, only 53 will suit up for the team’s season opener against Pittsburgh. On Tuesday, that competition yielded to camaraderie. Earlier in the summer, the house of defensive lineman and 1st Lt.Ben Garland’s grandparents burned down in the Waldo Canyon wildfire. All of the family’s possessions were lost in the fire, including several of Garland’s Air Force Academy artifacts. Read more from Denver Broncos >>>>

Ty Warren Key to Broncos Defense - If I told fans that Ty Warren was the key to the Denver Broncos‘ defensive line in 2012, they would probably go into a cold sweat and start to panic. Well, Warren is the key but there’s no reason to panic; trust me. Warren signed with the Broncos as a free agent prior to the 2011 season but did not play a down after tearing his triceps early in training camp. He has now missed two complete seasons but he is an important part of the Broncos defense this year, and I believe he will have a good season. Read more from Rant Sports >>>>
