The last time the Broncos had a road game, they made the long trip to London’s Wembley Stadium. Tonight in San Diego the team will try to build off the momentum from last week’s 49-29 victory against the Chiefs.
Denver’s AFC West record is 1-1, and a win tonight on Monday Night Football against the Chargers would even the team’s overall record with San Diego.
The sun is shining overhead and creating shadows on the field of Qualcomm Stadium. It’s about two hours before kickoff, and several Broncos are already on the field warming up, including Tim Tebow, Brady Quinn, Eric Decker, Justin Bannan, Syd’Quan Thompson, Brandon Lloyd and Jabar Gaffney.
Robert Ayers came out earlier to work out with Strength and Conditioning Coach Rich Tuten.
Check back later for pictures from the field and more updates prior to kickoff.
5:27 MST: The Broncos inactives have been released. Andre’ Goodman, Laurence Maroney, Cassius Vaughn, Robert Ayers, Stanley Daniels, Eric Olsen and David Veikune will not suit up. Brady Quinn is the emergency No. 3 QB. For the Chargers, K Kris Brown, WR Legedu Naanee, RB Ryan Mathews, SS Darrell Stuckey, SS Steve Gregory, TE Antonio Gates, TE Kris Wilson and DL Travis Johnson are inactive. Kris Brown is the emergency No. 3 QB.
5:35 MST: Matt Prater has led the Broncos specialists onto the field. Lonie Paxton, Britton Colquitt and Prater are practicing field goals. The Broncos are wearing all white uniforms, while the Chargers are wearing dark blue jerseys with white pants.
5:45 MST: Here are some pictures from the field courtesy of Gray Caldwell:
5:55 MST: The Broncos skill position players have jogged out of the tunnel in front of a booing crowd. Kyle Orton, Tebow and Brady Quinn are warming up with the help of their receivers. The tight ends, running backs and defensive backs are all getting loose with position drills.
5:57 MST: The rest of the team is on the field, and all of the players have congregated in a huddle on the sideline. Brian Dawkins broke them down, and they dispersed to stretch.
6:14 MST: Both teams are retreating into the locker room. Kickoff is less than 20 minutes away. You can keep up with the game in the first half blog.

Baylin, did you ever get a prediction from me? It was 31-24 Broncos, I think.
Winning this game could put the Broncos right back into the ring of AFCW competition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KEEP THE DRIVE ALIVE BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ILMSDB!!!!
Milehigh I’ll go with the Jack Nicholson Joke “Wait till they get a load of me!” LOL
PRIME TIME BABY!!
LETS GO BRONCOS!!!!!
Definately OC!!! DEFINATELY!
yeah!!!
so so so ready for this game!!!!!!! yay!!!
Excitement is building! Go TEAM Broncos!!!!!
MONODONO!!! How the h3ll are ya’? Haven’t seen on here for a wee while. Good to have you back!
That’s always a good one too, samoan. Hopefully the guys don’t play like Jokers tonight lol
Hahaha true dat Milehigh.
Just checked the injury report Gates is OUT.
All this talk this week about Ayers but he is a no go.
And no MANIAC, didn’t see your score anywhere, maybe you dreamt it? If you can locate it, I’ll go back and enter it, but I look at all entries all the time double checking making sure I don’t miss any, and yours wasn’t there this week.
One hour to lift off!!!
Gates out is wonderful news, with him and Matthews both out no excuses, this game is for the taking, we must win this one, no ways around that.
All week I was thinking McD was implying that Ayers might play just to make San Diego think about it, like they did to us all week with Gates. It looks like that’s what was going down. If nothing else, I’m glad they’re not pushing him into action too soon at least.
Yeah, looks like I imagined it. Will you still take it or is it too late? Technically I did submit it before the game.
hat sucks that ayers is out
If you tell me what blog it’s on and the date and time, I’ll verify it and get it in, if not sorry man gotta keep it the same every week for every one, no one had the advantage of knowing the inactives, that just wouldn’t be fair.
oops i meant “that” not “hat”
NFL Network is reporting Gates,Matthews,and nanao?…all out!! and Royal probable.Great news!!!!!
Floyd is Active and ready to go. Naanee is out was well. McMichaels is no Gates so I hope his transeint path from Miami via St Louis and anywhere else in between serves as a good reason for me to suck poos! lol
What’s the game time temperature in San Diego. Right now in my part of Montana it’s around 10 degrees, -23 or so with wind chill.
Anyway, if you somehow have the right score, I’ll give you a prop but can’t place you, how is that?
Yeah I can accept that. I knew the rules. I just forgot about submitting a score.
I hope J.Williams is jacked up,and eats up a lot of blockers.
I know some of ya’ll was wishing Ayers would play. The way he looked in pregame warmup was not good. You could see the pain on his face. For the rest of the team. They look great and ready to go. People out here at the game (Fans) giving McD that vote of confidence. lol He looked surprised their for a second cus it was some chargers fans. lol They were like if Denver don’t want you. We’ll fire Norv and Hire you. That is one of the funniest things I heard all week.
Mile High Magic works real good in SoCal… Our first SB Win.. and home of last years upset victory…yep..good vibes in SD
The Flaming Orange Stallion arose from the ashes last week and trampled the Red Hot Chili Cheifs…
Is this Bronco team for real???
Can we snuff out the Jolts????
Well, We are about to find out….!!
LETS GET IT ON BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!
LETS KEEP THE DRIVE ALIVE!!!!!!!

MANIAC- That was my prediction (I think). If it pans out I’ll share. LOL!

Correcto.
If Ayers isn’t ready to come back,then he needs to sit out,we don’t need for him to reinjure himself,maybe DJ,Hunter,Mays,and Haggan will play like they did last week,well the first half anyway.LOL.
JAMAL WILLIAMS leads the team out on to the field for warm ups!! YEAH BABY!!
