Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer formally agreed to a plea deal Friday after being accused of damaging the license plate holder of another driver during a road rage incident. Plummer accepted deferred prosecution, which means he won't be charged with wrongdoing if he stays out of trouble for the next nine months.

Denver Broncos safety Sam Brandon turned himself in to Douglas County court officials Wednesday after a warrant was issued for his arrest, prosecutors said. Brandon, 27, faces a charge of violating a restraining order and violation of his bond conditions, both misdemeanors, district attorney spokeswoman Kathleen Walsh said.

Former NFL player Bill Romanowski can continue coaching his 12-year-old son's flag football team after scolding another seventh-grader over what the notorious linebacker considered dirty play, the recreation league's director said Wednesday. Romanowski, who retired in 2004 after a controversial 16-year career that included stints with the 49ers and Raiders, took over his son's recreation-league squad this fall in Piedmont, an upscale enclave in the Oakland hills.

The Broncos added depth to their receiving corps Monday, signing wide receiver Quincy Morgan to a one-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed. Morgan, 28, had nine receptions for 150 yards and two touchdowns with the Super Bowl champion Steelers last season, his fifth in the NFL. He spent the entire preseason with Pittsburgh before being released on September 2.

The Broncos are likely to sign kick returner-receiver Quincy Morgan on Monday. Playing for Pittsburgh last season, he returned 23 kicks for a 25.3-yard average, which ranked eighth in the NFL. He also had nine catches, two for touchdowns. Morgan could be the Broncos' kick returner Sunday at New England.

The Broncos are among several teams to have spoken to the agent for kick returner/wide receiver Quincy Morgan. Morgan's agent, Brian Overstreet, said he has spoken to Broncos general manager Ted Sundquist this past week. Overstreet has talked to the Dolphins and Vikings as well.

Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer won't face a jury trial in his road rage case. "The case has been disposed," Englewood Municipal Court administrator Tamara Wolfe said Wednesday. A disposition hearing was set for Sept. 29 in suburban Englewood. The two sides have until that time to work out a plea agreement.

Mike Shanahan wasted no time declaring undrafted rookie Mike Bell his top tailback early in training camp. He's being more coy about naming his starter for the Denver Broncos' opener at St. Louis on Sunday. "You'll have to show up to that game, as we talked about before," Shanahan said Monday. "Good try, though."

The Texans filled their need for a veteran tailback on Sunday evening, reaching agreement with six-year veteran Ron Dayne, who was released by the Broncos one day earlier. Financial details of the one-year deal were not yet available, but the contract is likely for the minimum base salary. First-year Texans head coach Gary Kubiak was the offensive coordinator in Denver and is thus familiar with Dayne. And since the Texans have installed an offense similar to the Broncos' design, Dayne will not need a learning period before he can contribute.
