If the Tennessee Titans do not take action in time to keep Pro Bowl center Kevin Mawae, other teams could make their effort to sign him away. Actually, the Denver Broncos have already expressed their interest in getting the center before the free agency ends.
The Broncos need a center because they lost center Casey Wiegmann to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency, and though the team is looking to get younger at that position, Mawae is still possible to put on Titans jersey as an unrestricted free agent if the Broncos offer an attractive contract in time.
However, Mawae also has the option to return to the Titans because he could be able to play a depth role if staying with the Titans. At age 39, he is too old to start any new era with a new team. He managed to finish the 2009 season without suffering injuries and was voted to Pro Bowl again, so staying with the Titans before retirement could be a better choice for the 17-year veteran.

Two Broncos will not be with team for the rest of season
The Denver Broncos starting left guard Russ Hochstein and returner Kenny McKinley were done for the season. After both suffered injuries in last week’s game at Philadelphia against the Eagles, they were placed on the injured reserve and will not be available in their team’s NFL jerseys for the season finale.
Broncos Coach Josh McDaniels announced Monday that Hochstein and McKinley will be placed on injured reserve. McKinley hurt his knee on a kickoff return in the first quarter, while Hochstein apparently injured his knee on a play in the second half.
Hochstein got his starting job on Nov. 15 as the team was trying to bolster a struggling offense before a game against the Washington Redskins. The previous starter Ben Hamliton who was supplanted by Hochstein, now have the chance to get his starting job back.

Keeping winning, Colts set even more records
Now the Indianapolis Colts have won 22 consecutive regular-season games and 114 games in a decade, setting new NFL records by beating the Denver Broncos 28-16 on Sunday night.
And the star quarterback wearing No.18 Colts jersey managed to throw four touchdowns but was 20 of 42 for 220 yards, losing his touch after leading the Colts to touchdowns on three of its first four drives. Peyton Manning was not in good condition but the Colts still won over the Broncos, whose receiver Brandon Marshall, however, broke the league’s single-game record with 21 receptions.
The Colts were also 13-0 in 2005 but lost the three of the last four games, including a divisional playoff against the Pittsburgh Steelers. So it is still early to say the team is a must-be winner of this season.

Broncos have not decided if Marshall will play on Saturday
The Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall missed the preseason game at San Francisco last week for attending his court case in Atlanta. Considering his recent performance, he might miss another preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks Saturday night.
Marshall has been unhappy with the Broncos over their refusal to give him a new contract or trade him. He also felt upset when he knew that players were told by a staffer not to say they were happy for him after acquittal on battery charges last week. He skipped quite a few days of practices and has fallen behind of the Broncos’ new offense. Since returning to the practice field, Marshall had spent two days working almost exclusively with the scout team.
That may be the main reason why the team still hesitated in deciding whether to let Marshall play on Saturday’s preseason game. The Broncos also has not decided on whether to have safety Brian Dawkins make his debut in a broncos jersey because the player just returned to practice this week after a surgery repairing his injured right hand.

Broncos WR Marshall returned to camp from injury
After skipping over a week of workouts, Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall returned to practice on Sunday. And he was also found not guilty by a jury in Atlanta of misdemeanor battery against his ex-girlfriend.
“For almost a year and a half now I’ve been swearing to my teammates and the community that I’m not that guy that they were portraying me to be,” Marshall said about the trial and the case made against him. “Finally, to stand in front of a jury where they finally see both sides and for it to be a fair stage, the truth finally came out.”
Marshall caught 206 passes, 13 for touchdowns the passed two seasons.

49ers won over Broncos by 17-16
For the fans out of the field, it was just so exciting to see the preseason opener game between the 49ers and the Broncos. The 49ers won with a nearthing of 17-16.
On the Broncos side, Kyle Orton threw interceptions in his first three series during a disastrous debut. After he made the night’s third first-half pick, 49ers quarterback Alex Smith threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Brit Miller. Chris Simms nearly led Denver to victory with a big second half. He hit Kenny McKinley on a 52-yard TD pass with 2:01 left after the 49ers was put up 17-10 by Miller’s second TD on a 40-yard reception from Damon Huard. However, he did not manage to help the Broncos make the 2-point conversion.
One more special thing on that night is the return to Candlestick Park of Mike Nolan, who was former 49ers coach and works as Denver’s defensive coordinator now.

Vegas casino sued Broncos RB Jordan in gambling debts
Lawyers for The Mirage hotel-casino filed a lawsuit Thursday, suing Denver Broncos running back LaMont Jordan over $20,000 in gambling debts plus interest.
The suit was filed in Clark County District court. It indicated in an attached application that Jordan applied for six gambling markers in June 2008, identifying himself as a football player for the Oakland Raiders. But the check-like markers were returned because of insufficient funds or an inability to locate the account when they were deposited.
Jordan played for Oakland from 2005 through 2007, and played for New England last year. However, by so far no comment has come from either any of the three NFL teams or the casino about the lawsuit.
