Thread: Practice / press conference notes - week 3 (Bengals week)

Start with some roster news:

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Shiloh Keo will return to the Broncos' roster.

After releasing him at the end of his two-game suspension to open the regular season, the Broncos will bring back the veteran safety, providing additional depth at a position where rookies Justin Simmons and Will Parks handled the reserve work the last two weeks.

To make room for Keo, the Broncos waived nose tackle Kyle Peko.

Keo joined the Broncos last December and provided veteran depth during the Broncos' push to the postseason. He also played a vital role on special teams, serving as a fill-in punt returner and recovering the on-side kickoff that clinched the Broncos' AFC Championship Game win over the New England Patriots.

Peko was inactive for both of the Broncos' first two regular-season games after making the 53-man roster at the Sep. 3 deadline. The Oregon State product was the only undrafted rookie to make the roster out of camp after notching two tackles and playing 65 snaps during the preseason.

The 6-foot-1, 305-pounder was the only third-team defensive lineman on the Broncos' roster. He worked at all three spots along the defensive line during training camp and the preseason. His older brother, Domata, is a starting defensive tackle for the Bengals, who the Broncos face Sunday.

Also, for those that worry about the "curse of the early game" or whatever, how's this?

Actually, since 1980, the @Broncos are better in early road games (52-55-1) than road games at later times (87-98), according to @pfref.

Jaded is gonna write his senator about this.

Maps are up for this week - most of the country seems to be getting this game (my market isn't one of them, but I have my ways anyway):

Thank God the KC game is late this week. Otherwise, I would be stuck watching KC. Hallelujah!

Any word on Green's injury? Will he be available?

We'll probably know more after practice today.

How is it even possible in 2016 that a couple of diehards like you guys are still subject to the whims of the national TV schedulers? The idea of missing a game and shrugging my shoulders about it seems so foreign to me.

Right? And now with nflsundayticket.tv streaming virtually anywhere you shouldn't have any issues at all. Plus, if you've got a kid in college, she can buy it for only $100 easy-peasy. XBone with the NFL app worked awesome last weekend - watched RedZone for the early games and then the Broncos. The fact that LA blacked out the Broncos because the Rams were in LA and on FOX is stupid, but finally got me off the dime to get the ticket. I mean got my daughter off the dime to get the ticket...

Oh, don't worry. I decided a few years ago that there was no way I was missing a game ever again and I've been able to do that easily, cheaply and with good quality. I just figured the maps were helpful to people who are still subject to those whims.

FYI, Green (and Stephenson) not practicing today.
