Mike McGlinchey hosted offensive linemates at a barbeque, while Talanoa Hufanga visited his favorite Korean barbecue spot in San Jose. The joint practice between the Broncos and 49ers was characterized by respect and professionalism, despite the teams being rivals. Familiarity among players, including those who previously played for the 49ers like McGlinchey and D.J. Jones, contributed to this positive atmosphere. Denver coach Sean Payton expressed hope for injured player Dre Greenlaw's recovery. Maintaining Greenlaw and Hufanga on the field is crucial for the Broncos' Super Bowl aspirations.
As much as the Broncos and 49ers enjoyed going against someone else, there were enough familiar faces to keep it respectful and professional.
It was more like a mutual admiration society. Neither team wants to disappoint the other.
Payton said he hoped to have him back full speed next week. He's doing really well.
The Broncos' quest to return to Levi's Stadium for Super Bowl LX on Feb. 9 will be at least partially contingent on keeping Greenlaw and Hufanga on the field.
