Malcolm Roach can be himself in Denver, and that has made all the difference. On pace to have his best year as a pass rusher and a run stopper, the defensive tackle has proven to be a valuable offseason addition for the Broncos, and he credits his success to defensive coordinator Vance Joseph tapping into what he does best. “I’m having more of a complete year,” Roach said.

State oil and gas regulators are investigating reports that environmental consultants falsified results of tests on soil, groundwater and contamination at about 350 locations in Weld County between 2021 and this summer. The information was submitted on behalf of some of Colorado’s largest oil and gas producers and was intended to determine whether work to clean up spills or close oil and gas sites met the state’s cleanup standards. The Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission, which regulates the oil and gas industry, said Tuesday that based on its preliminary investigation, the agency is confident that there’s no new risk to public health beyond the original conditions that prompted the work. “ECMC has also put in place additional safeguards to prevent falsified data from being submitted in the future, including requiring  additional documentation and examining metadata,” the agency said in a statement. The ECMC began looking into the lab results during the summer when operators notified the state of the potential falsification of information.

Pepper Pong, a portable game that combines elements of ping pong and pickleball, had done roughly $350,000 in sales as of last Friday afternoon, according to founder Tom Filippini. Twenty-four hours later, that figure had more than doubled — thanks to the company’s appearance that evening on ABC’s “Shark Tank.” “They were buying the connection more than the game,” he said.

The Broncos activated second-year linebacker Drew Sanders from the physically unable to perform list on Tuesday. Sanders has been on the PUP list since he tore an Achilles tendon during the early part of Denver’s offseason workout program last spring. Sanders returned to practice earlier this month, opening his 21-day window to return to the 53-man roster. Sanders was a full participant at practice leading up to Denver’s divisional win over the Raiders but was not activated for the game. Sanders — a third-round draft pick in 2023 — played inside linebacker after first being drafted and then during the season switched to outside linebacker.
