DB - Laying Down The Law - Chris Gentilviso
"After limited participation in Friday’s practice, Josh Barrett (hamstring) was a full participant in Saturday’s session."

DPP - Law looking to lift value of nickel - Lindsay Jones
"Law's contract will pay him $800,000 in base salary. He received a $200,000 signing bonus and could earn an additional $400,000 in incentives."

DP - A couple more Ty Law notes - Lindsay Jones
"Law will wear jersey No. 26...On Saturday, Law wore a sleeve on wrist with the plays and defensive calls on it (like the sleeves quarterbacks sometimes wear)."

DPP - Analysis: Denver's Dumervil versatile even as helping hand - Jeff Legwold
"While it may be a little thing, the fact that Dumervil can get down, comfortably, in a three-point stance, with the proper hand down on either side of the formation likely helps him work both sides."

DPP - Denver Broncos OLB Darrell Reid always embraces change - Lindsay Jones

CSG - Law will learn on the fly for Broncos - Frank Schwab

DPP - Where QBs intersect - Mike Klis

DPP - Klis: TDs rise without wedge
Tom Jackson thinks the elimination of the wedge is behind the explosion of kick-return TDs.

DPP - Steelers haven't thrown away running game - Jeff Legwold
"Of the 10 kickoff returns for touchdowns in the NFL this season, seven have been allowed by teams that predominantly play the 3-4 defense. The Steelers have surrendered two for touchdowns, and the Broncos have allowed one...Running back Peyton Hillis was excused from practice for the second consecutive day and did not take part in the Broncos' workout Saturday. Hillis is expected to rejoin the team for Monday night's game."

PFW - Castillo stepping up for Chargers' D-line - AFC Whispers
"The Broncos are going to miss ORT Ryan Harris, who is expected to miss a few weeks with a foot injury, but sources say the team feels comfortable with backup Tyler Polumbus moving into the starting lineup. Harris is regarded as one of the better young right tackles in the game, but the drop-off with Polumbus, a natural left tackle, in the game isn't tremendous."
