As Teams Seek More Relief, 13-man Pitching Staffs Are The New Normal

The Broncos’ running back question might only be adding more potential answers. Denver brought Tyler Badie back to practice on Tuesday, opening his 21-day return-to-play window ahead of Saturday’s game at Cincinnati. Badie had just ascended to the 53-man roster and seemingly into the Broncos’ regular running back rotation when he suffered a scary back injury Week 4 at the New York Jets. “He’s doing well,” head coach Sean Payton said.

By RAUL DOMINGUEZ SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Colorado secured what it said was record insurance coverage for quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter as the star duo opted to complete their college careers in the Alamo Bowl rather than sit out and prepare for the NFL draft.

The Broncos waived veteran cornerback Levi Wallace on Tuesday. He had been inactive for the last two weeks. Head coach Sean Payton said the decision to let go of Wallace wasn’t easy and hopes the team can sign him back to the practice squad if he clears waivers. Wallace played in 13 games (two starts), allowing 15 catches for 223 yards, a touchdown and a passer rating of 111.3, according to NFL’s Next Gen Stats.

Despite a roster overhaul and a general lack of Division I experience among the squad, the Colorado men’s basketball team has shown significant signs of progress since tipping off the season seven weeks ago. It’s been a home-heavy slate so far, too. Yet few people have witnessed the Buffaloes’ early growth in person. After the Buffs capped nonconference play with a win against Bellarmine on Saturday, head coach Tad Boyle pivoted from a question about a boisterous crowd spurred by an Alamo Bowl sendoff for CU football and an appearance by Travis Hunter’s Heisman Trophy to comment on the state of the program’s attendance through nonconference play. Simply put, there have been plenty of available seats at the CU Events Center.
