Kévin Cabral could have called it quits on the 2024 MLS season when a broken and dislocated elbow required surgery in July. Or when the initial recovery kept him from brushing his teeth, playing video games or even sleeping. The thought could have crossed his mind again when he learned of his father’s death in September.

The new Broncos teammates finished up a day of drill work and meetings with dozens of other NFL players but they weren’t done chopping it up. They found themselves at dinner carrying on, learning to speak the same language. Sometimes the best way to explain how you want to handle a certain look, rush a certain tackle or work wrinkles into your repertoire includes a plastic fork or a salt shaker. “It was just us pretty much alone at Cava, talking pass-rush, moving utensils around,” Allen told The Denver Post.

Broncos fans planning a pilgrimage to Empower Field at Mile High can take a bus or train this weekend to watch their team’s home game against the Carolina Panthers.

Volume from 3-point range wasn’t a problem for the Nuggets on opening night at least. Efficiency sure was. Denver missed 32 of 39 outside shots in a 102-87 season-opening loss to the Thunder on Thursday night, statistically crowning the worst 3-point shooting game of the Michael Malone era, which is entering its 10th year.
