Broncos rookie WR Marvin Mims, Jr., a playmaker early in season, laments two fumbles in loss to Jets

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 06:33:55 GMT

Marvin Mims, Jr. had a rookie moment in Week 4 against Chicago, but he hit his first real adversity as a professional Sunday against the Jets.The Broncos’ dynamic rookie wide receiver played a key part in two of Denver’s three turnovers in a 31-21 loss to New York, fumbling a first-quarter punt return and mishandling a third-quarter flip from running back Samaje Perine on a trick play.After the Denver defense started the afternoon with a stop, Mims should have called fair catch on a high punt from Thomas Morstead. Instead, he got hit almost immediately and the ball popped out. The Jets only got a field goal out of the ensuing chance, but even still it set an ominous tone.“I mean, I thought I had a little bit of room and just misjudged it, basically,” Mims told The Denver Post. “Just the speed of the game and all that stuff. As soon as I got my hands on it he hit me and it just fell out.”Then later he tried to take a pitch on an end-around from Per...

A look at the heroes and zeros from the Broncos’ 31-21 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High.HeroesDenver’s pass rush: The Broncos feasted on Jets quarterback Zach Wilson in the first quarter. Second-year outside linebacker Nik Bonitto flew off the edge, recording two sacks as he treated Wilson like he was food. Defensive end Zach Allen was impressive, as he had a sack, a forced fumble and a pair of quarterback hits. If only the Broncos could’ve sustain that aggression the entire game.Jaleel McLaughlin: As has been the case whenever he’s been given an opportunity this season, the undrafted rookie was like the Flash on Sunday. On Denver’s first drive, McLaughlin sped down the sideline for a 38-yard gain. Two plays later, McLaughlin bobbled a screen pass from quarterback Russell Wilson but managed to maintain possession before running 22 yards for a touchdown.Randy Gregory: Denver’s former edge rusher might be the biggest winner of the week.

Avalanche makes final camp cuts, but there could still be changes before opening night

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 06:33:55 GMT

The deadline for the Colorado Avalanche to set their initial roster is Monday, and there were a couple of surprises in the past two days.Every NHL team is allowed a maximum of 23 players on the active roster from Monday through the trade deadline in March. There were no surprises among the players still on the Avs roster after practice Sunday, but the club made more cuts than expected.Forward Ben Meyers and defenseman Sam Malinski were assigned to the Colorado Eagles, while forward Riley Tufte was placed on waivers. The Avs put defensemen Brad Hunt and Jack Achan on waivers Saturday, and both cleared so they’re eligible to join the Eagles.If everyone who is not participating in training camp because of injury goes on injured reserve as expected, the Avalanche will have 21 players on the active roster, not the maximum 23.One player who did earn a spot is Fredrik Olofsson. He won the competition for the fourth-line center role, and Bednar confirmed he’s made the club. He skated betwee...

He grabbed the back of his right leg and limped slowly to the sideline.Mahomes hit Justin Watson ...
