Broncos coach Vic Fangio said Tuesday the tight end won’t practice this week or play in Thursday’s final exhibition game against the Cardinals. “When he starts to feel good and plays or practices, then it flares back up again,” Fangio said, via the team’s official website. “It’s just something we’re going to have to deal with here. He won’t play in this game and he may miss some time.”...

Elway’s stamp was all over those Denver teams, from the successful recruitment of Peyton Manning to the drafting of superstar defender Von Miller and bringing in the players and coaches needed to build a champion.

Today, the 3-7 Broncos are a mess, and Elway’s frustration became obvious when he called his team “a little soft....
After the division made drastic moves to try to catch up to Kansas City this offseason, the Chiefs once against dominated the division to win the West for the seventh straight year and clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

They were in the same position a year ago … and it was the first team in their way, the Baltimore Ravens, wild-card weekend survivors, who took them out in the divisional round in Denver 38-35 in double overtime, and won the Lombardi Trophy instead. So, of course, history could repeat itself....
The Chiefs will be playing with a lot of emotion after placing strong safety Eric Berry, a three-time Pro Bowler, on the reserve/non-football illness list this week. It’s believed Berry has lymphoma. The Broncos have won five straight over the Chiefs, covering three. Until this meeting, the shortest number Denver’s been asked to lay since Peyton Manning’s arrival was 5 in the second meeting last season (Dec. 1, 2013 in K....
Sheehy-Guiseppi slept outside NFL Combine trainer Pete Bommarito’s facility in Miami, where he spent his last $200 to train, according to the Browns’ website.

With Jackson’s team now 0-7 after a frustrating 12-9 overtime loss, it’s more evident that the coach is a big part of the problem and isn’t contributing to the solution. And now that he’s 1-22 overall in less than 1 1/2 seasons at the helm, it’s also clear the Browns need to make a change before 2018, and maybe sometime soon in 2017. Jackson came in with a lot of promise last offseason as an accomplished offensive mind and respected motivator, but as the team remains in its massive rebuild, he has mismanaged games and failed to maximize the talent he does have....
