First-year defensive coordinator Robert Livingston is working to get the Buffs ready for the Aug. 29 opener against North Dakota State. (Cliff Grassmick/Staff Photographer) Every day, Colorado defensive coordinator Robert Livingston has to get his group ready to go against the Buffaloes’ offense, and he admits it’s “not very fun.” Dynamic quarterback Shedeur Sanders makes his share of plays against the CU defense — as he does against opponents nearly every week during the season. “I think he’s a great player,” Livingston said.

A stretch of intense summer heat hasn’t kept Broncos fans from turning out to training camp. Attendance at the first week of Broncos training camp is up 42% compared to the first week a year ago and retail revenue is up 56%, according to data provided by the club. Denver is in its second season of using a ticketing system where attendance is free for fans but a mobile ticket is required for entry.

If there’s a trophy to be won, the Colorado Rapids will have an eye out for it. That will certainly be the case with the second annual Leagues Cup, which starts Thursday. Since first-year head coach Chris Armas joined the club and implemented that mindset, the Rapids are 1 for 1 on winning trophies after taking the Rocky Mountain Cup back from rivals Real Salt Lake. After a 12-day break from play following the 3-2 win over RSL, the next prize is on the table. “The thought that there’s a trophy out there, somewhere out there (is exciting),” Armas said Wednesday morning.

Nolan Jones never saw this season coming. Not after what he did in 2023 when he became the first Rockies rookie to hit 20 home runs and steal 20 bases. He also led the majors and set a franchise record with 19 outfield assists. “It’s been a physical and mental battle for me this year, and I’m trying to stay positive and know that my time is coming,” Jones said.

An injured hiker was rescued from a mountain trail in southern Colorado near Great Sand Dunes National Park on Friday, according to Alamosa search and rescue crews. Rescue crews responded Friday to reports of an injured hiker who had fallen while descending the mountain trail from Ellingwood Point — a high mountain summit in the Sangre de Cristo range of the Rocky Mountains — according to Alamosa Volunteer Search and Rescue. “The hiker, who knew he was off route, was no longer able to continue on due to his injury and the terrain he was in,” search and rescue officials said in a post on social media. Alamosa Volunteer Search and Rescue immediately began to deploy teams, but severe afternoon storms covering nearby Blanca Peak made it impossible for a helicopter to get close enough to the hiker for a rescue, Alamosa officials said. Teams started the trek toward the hiker on foot but were forced to stop when they were within 300 vertical feet of the man because crew leaders said it was too dark to safely continue on the rough, rocky terrain, according to search and rescue officials. Officials said search and rescue teams bedded down in the area and planned to continue on and extract the hiker at first light, but they discovered the climber was not prepared for an overnight stay and had run out of water and food. Alamosa Volunteer Search and Rescue’s incident command team then called in the Colorado National Guard to help hoist the hiker off the mountain, officials said. At 6 a.m., the National Guard lifted the climber out and brought him down to the Lake Como helipad where he was transferred to a REACH29 medical helicopter out of Salida and taken to the hospital, according to the search and rescue team.

The Broncos sustained their first major injury loss of training camp Wednesday when offensive lineman Quinn Bailey fractured his right ankle during a 9-on-7 drill. Head coach Sean Payton confirmed the fracture, though it was clear immediately that Bailey had sustained a major injury. Players reacted by looking away after the pile cleared and training staff immediately put an air cast over his lower right leg, moved Bailey onto a cart and took him to a waiting ambulance. “(The fracture) was definitely apparent,” Payton said.
