The debut for No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward had its share of rough moments as the Tennessee Titans lost 20-12 to the Denver Broncos. Ward's frustration came to the surface when he spoke about only scoring six points off four turnovers caused by the Titans' defense. "We were a-- honestly," Ward said after the game. "When you get a defense that gets three or four turnovers and don't capitalize on it, that's on us."

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- What had been optimism early in the week Denver Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw could be in the lineup for Sunday's season opener against the Tennessee Titans in Empower Field at Mile High had evaporated by Friday. Greenlaw, one of the Broncos' biggest additions in free agency earlier this year, was formally ruled out for the opener with a thigh injury.

ESPN Eliminator Challenge is one of the most fun and simple games to play this NFL season. The rules are simple -- pick one team, and as long as they win (or tie), you advance to the next round. If they lose, you are out. The only caveat is you cannot pick the same team twice. Last season's game was as difficult as we have ever seen.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton said Thursday the team got "good news" on wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr.'s groin injury and the third-year veteran should be on track to play in the Sept. 7 season opener against the Tennessee Titans. Mims left Wednesday's practice with the injury, as he walked off the field with the Broncos' medical staff about halfway through the team's on-field work. Mims was taken for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam as well as some additional tests.

Lionel Taylor, an original Denver Bronco and a Ring of Fame member, died at age 89 on August 6, leaving a significant legacy in professional football.

Sanders finished a play hopping on one leg, as he attempted to keep his weight off his right leg. The Broncos' medical staff examined Sanders' right ankle and then right foot on the sideline.

In what eventually became a 30-24 overtime loss to the Bengals, Mims finished with eight receptions on eight targets for 103 yards and two touchdowns. Both touchdowns were in the fourth quarter -- the first a 51-yard catch-and-run for the team's longest play of the game and the other a leaping are-you-kidding-me effort with eight seconds left in regulation to force overtime.

Demaryius Thomas, the only former player selected for the honor, will be inducted into the Broncos' Ring of Fame in the 2025 season.
