Broncos Could Lose D.J. Williams For Month

Nov 22, 2014 9:57 PM

Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams has a dislocated right elbow that could sideline him up to a month. Williams was hurt in Denver's 23-20 win over Seattle on Saturday night. "It's unfortunate because he's one of our leaders," Champ Bailey said. "But you've got to just keep on ticking and he knows that. He's going to do whatever he can to get back as soon as possible. He's got to make sure he takes care of himself." Williams left the stadium after the game in a sling with his right arm heavily taped from his wrist to his biceps.

Esiason: Tebow Can't Play, Can't Throw

Oct 31, 2014 6:29 AM

CBS Sports analyst Boomer Esiason doesn't think Tim Tebow has a chance of becoming a starting quarterback job in the NFL. He is the latest in a long line of analysts that have publicly knocked the Broncos quarterback. Tebow has dropped to third on Denver's depth chart behind starting quarterback Kyle Orton and backup Brady Quinn. "He can't play. He can't throw," Esiason said. "I'm not here to insult him. The reality is he was a great college football player, maybe the greatest college football player of his time. But he's not an NFL quarterback right now. Just because he's God-fearing, and a great person off the field, and was a winner with the team that had the best athletes in college football, doesn't mean his game is going to translate to the NFL."

Broncos Exec: Adam Weber 'Flat-Out Better' Than Tebow Right Now

Oct 31, 2014 11:37 AM

Tim Tebow was the first round pick by Denver Broncos in 2010 and is falling on the depth chart. As one highly knowledgeable member of the organization told Yahoo! Sports Monday: “If everything was totally equal, and this were a competition based only on performance at this camp, Tebow would probably be the fourth-string guy. Kyle [Orton] is far and away the best, and Tebow’s way behind [Brady] Quinn too. And I’m telling you, Adam Weber is flat-out better right now.”

Broncos Officially Name Orton Starter

Oct 31, 2014 5:54 PM

The Broncos have officially named Kyle Orton their starting quarterback. Denver coach John Fox still hasn't decided whether Tim Tebow or Brady Quinn will be the team's No. 2 quarterback. "We've been working with (Orton) all camp, he's been with the 1's (starters)," receiver Eddie Royal said. "I guess there's not really any surprise to us. It's nice to know who is going to be back there throwing you the ball on Day 1. We all have had confidence in Kyle since Day 1, so no surprise to us."

Paige predicts that Tebow will be the team's No. 1 quarterback by December. Former Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler will visit Mile High with the Bears on Dec. 11.

Warren Out Indefinitely With Triceps Issue

Sep 3, 2014 4:05 AM

Broncos defensive tackle Ty Warren is expected to miss significant time with a torn triceps. Denver is hoping he won't need surgery and can return to the field at some point this season, although that would mean going with a 52-man roster for a while. Warren, 30, missed all of last season with a hip injury and a surgery to repair his torn triceps could threaten not only his season but his career.
