The Broncos have a chance to get three starters and many role players back for this week's big game against the Chiefs.

As Vic Fangio put it after practice, defensive coaches and players loved the way the scrimmage went. On the flip side, offensive players and coaches did not.
Vic Fangio began Friday's practice by bringing his team together in a huddle. After a minute of Fangio addressing his team, players started to hoot and holler and get hyped for whatever message the coach was delivering.

The Broncos' first padded practice of camp, on Monday, was "just OK," according to Vic Fangio.

Talent, clearly, has never been an issue for Denver’s newest defensive lineman.

The Broncos' pass rush may very well be getting even better, thanks to two unsuspecting rookies that have quickly grabbed the attention of the people that make Denver’s defense so lethal.
While most of Denver’s starters were held out of the game, there was plenty to be learned from the team’s extra preseason game. And there were plenty of positives.
