Broncos En Español Draws Capacity Crowd

September 19th, 2012 - 9:44pm by Tyler EverettOther posts by

On Wednesday, the Broncos reached out to their Hispanic fan base with Broncos En Español, a free event that featured autographs and photos with players and alumni, along with inflatable obstacle courses and targets for the kids and karaoke.

The players in attendance were fullback Chris Gronkowski, safety Quinton Carter and guard Manny Ramirez. Also signing autographs Wednesday evening were Broncos alumni including Billy Thompson and Vance Johnson.

For Ramirez, whose parents are Mexican, it was a great opportunity to connect with people from a similar background.

“My parents are originally from Mexico so any time I get an opportunity to come out here in Colorado to support my culture, I’m always happy to do it,” Ramirez said. “Always good times.”

Fox on First Road Trip

September 15th, 2012 - 1:56pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

Head Coach John Fox is plenty familiar with the Atlanta Falcons. After all, he played them twice a year as the head coach of the Carolina Panthers from 2002 to 2010.

“It’s a unique place,” he said of the Georgia Dome. “A divisional rivalry for me for nine years. I’ve seen them change as far as quarterbacks and types of offenses over the years. It’s nice to get back. It’s a good organization. Nice people in the organization. It’ll be good visiting.”

As for the game at hand, Fox said that every week is a tough game, but Monday is the first chance the Broncos have to show what they can do away from the friendly confines of Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

“It’s our first road trip of 2012,” he said, “so I’m anxious to see how we react.”

INJURY REPORT

For the Broncos, only guard Chris Kuper is listed as out for the game. Cornerback Chris Harris and guard/center Philip Blake are listed as questionable, while wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and guard Manny Ramirez are both probable.

Falcons Week: Friday Injury Report

September 14th, 2012 - 2:02pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

On Friday, guard Chris Kuper (forearm) and cornerback Chris Harris (ankle) did not participate in practice for the second consecutive day. Guard Manny Ramirez (elbow) and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (shoulder) are listed on the injury report, but had full participation in the session for the second consecutive day.

As for Harris, Head Coach John Fox said: “Right now, he’s day-to-day. It’ll, I’m sure, be a game-time decision.”

If Harris can’t play, Fox expressed confidence in the rest of the position group.

“We’ve got good depth at the position,” he said. “Rather than spell out what we might do, we feel good about who we’d have out there.”

For the Atlanta Falcons, a new player was added to the injury report in tackle Tyson Clabo (hip), who was limited in practice on Friday. Linebacker Robert James (knee), linebacker Sean Weathersppon (hamstring) and wide receiver Roddy White (groin) were all limited in practice for the second consecutive day.

Versatility Key in the Trenches

August 17th, 2012 - 8:07am by Stuart ZaasOther posts by

On both the offensive and defensive fronts, a variety of players have seen time at different positions throughout practices and the Broncos’ preseason opener at Chicago.

That practice will pay off as the team moves forward without pieces on both lines as guard Chris Kuper and defensive end Jason Hunter miss time due to injuries.

Having players able to fill in at multiple positions allows flexibility when a starter is forced out of action.

“There are going to be some injuries from week to week, and the next guy steps up,” Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy said. “That’s the importance of all the OTAs, minicamp and training camp, so that when your opportunity does come, you’ve got to make the most of it in this business.”

Caldwell, Woodyard & Ramirez On Board

March 22nd, 2012 - 7:54am by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

The Broncos added another free agent on Wednesday — wide receiver Andre Caldwell.

The 6-foot, 190-pound receiver has played in 51 games — including 14 starts — in his career with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Entering his fifth NFL season, Caldwell has totaled 124 receptions for 1,172 yards and six touchdowns. A third-round pick by the Bengals in the 2008 NFL Draft from the University of Florida, he left the Gators as the school’s all-time leader in receptions.

His older brother, Reche, was a wide receiver for Washington (2007), New England (2006) and San Diego (2002-05).

In addition, the team agreed to terms with free agent linebacker Wesley Woodyard and re-signed guard Manny Ramirez earlier this week.
