Broncos rookie WR Demaryius Thomas has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Ravens after taking a violent hit on a kickoff return during the second quarter. The Broncos announced he has head and neck injuries.

Chargers general manager A.J. Smith and enigmatic WR Vincent Jackson have reached an impasse.

Demaryius Thomas will be a hot name on the fantasy waiver wire this week.

Patriots WR Randy Moss missed Wednesday’s practice with an illness. Bellyaching about a new contract perhaps? Not that Moss would stoop to anything so low, because we all remember that he tried his absolute hardest during his tenure with the Raiders.

When Demaryius Thomas gets on the field for the Broncos, he just can’t stay on it.

The Denver Broncos continue to lead the league in preseason injuries, getting their own blog post devoted to the players coming and going from practice.

The Broncos won’t be getting their first look at two rookie receivers in Sunday’s preseason opener against the Bengals.

In time, Sam Bradford will become the starting quarterback for the St. Louis Rams. How fast that happens depends on his development. So far, there are no signs that the organization is rushing the first overall pick in the 2010 draft.

One of the topics coming out of Denver is that there are a bunch of receivers, but maybe no No. 1 receiver.

Wow! Tim Tebow to Denver … in the first round. Tebow said all it would take is for one team to fall in love with him and the Broncos must have been smitten. After a series of trades, the Broncos gave up a second, third and fourth-round pick to Baltimore to get up to No. 25 to get to Tebow.

DeMaryius Thomas will be worth a late-round look in seasonal fantasy leagues next season.

In the past 24 hours, I have heard more and more about Boise State’s Kyle Wilson being the first cornerback taken, as high as seventh overall by the Browns.

Many analysts project WR Demaryius Thomas as a first-round pick, despite a foot injury. He played in the Yellow Jackets’ triple option offense at Georgia Tech that featured few pro route combinations, and that has been a knock on him as well — but not one he puts much stock into.
