The Broncos will welcome two preseason games at Sports Authority Field against the 49ers and Cardinals over the next three weeks. “Or will the 6’5” receiver be the guy who never caught an NFL pass before that game?

After his strip-sack of Russell Wilson on the game’s second snap, Von Miller retreated to the sideline to watch Anunike, Darius Kilgo, Shaq Barrett, Josh Furman, Gerald Rivers and Malik Jackson also dump the quarterback.
It was an nearly across-the-line failing.
It was a big test for Osweiler and he responded by completing 15 of 20 passes for 151 yards and a handsome touchdown toss to tight end Virgil Green.
“We were really just going out there and flying around”, Anunike said, “just using all the techniques Coach Bill Kollar taught us – get after the quarterback and be a menace on the field”.
Jeanpierre said communication was a problem against Denver. It’s what makes him great. We all got opportunities last night.
The defensive secondary sustained another injury. It’s no surprise general manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll found another good player outside the draft.
The Broncos had an NFL-high 11 Pro Bowlers last season, but Ryan Clady (knee) is out for the season and Julius Thomas bolted for Jacksonville in free agency.
However, the 24-year-old Australian has made a recovery from that procedure and has been cleared to return to action against Denver Broncos.
Carroll and Cable said they hoped to finalize the starting spots along the line soon to give the group time to coalesce throughout the rest of the preseason, so judging Gilliam and Britt in their new roles will be one of the team’s top priorities in the coming week.

After exchanging field goals, the Broncos led the Hawks 6 – 3 at the end of the 1 quarter.
“It’s still kind of wide open”, Carroll said of the position. “Once he got in a good rhythm, I thought he made some really nice plays”. This was the highlight of the game and his longest kickoff return of four. And whether it was playing in a game Friday or just getting more comfortable with camp entering its third week, Archer seemed to have his best practice of camp today. I caught up with Schneider after Monday’s practice and asked him a lot about Tyler Lockett for a story down the road. Do you go out of your way to help the new guy? But I’m sure the 10 year old boy in him bounced right up off the ground. But after that was over, it was the same.
Brock Osweiler was composed and efficient, leading the Denver Broncos to scores on all five first-half possessions. “We’ll see how it goes”.
