Broncos-49ers 2015 How-to-watch: Game time, TV schedule, online streaming, and more

It's the Denver Broncos' preseason home opener - the first game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in 2015, as the Broncos offense looks to bounce back from a rough Week 2 of the preseason and Denver's defense looks to continue its dominance. The Broncos will be facing the San Franciso 49ers in Week 3, against whom they enjoyed a week of joint practices, with starting quarterback Peyton Manning expected to play a full half in what is likely his last action until Denver's regular season kickoff in September.

Manning, Gary Kubiak and the Broncos will face Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers in Week 3 preseason action. Here's how to watch the game.

Injury Report

The Denver Broncos are expected to enjoy the full starting contingent of their defense for the first team in 2015 as Danny Trevathan has been cleared to play. On offense, Emmanuel Sanders has been limited in practice with a hamstring injury; expect the Broncos to take it nice and slow with Sanders and sit him out again.

Quotable

"Obviously, we only played 20-something snaps the other night, four series," Peyton Manning said, referring to Denver's Week 2 preseason game. "If we do get to play a little bit more, obviously, it’d be nice to work on that chemistry as a unit and be able to move the ball, convert some third downs and obviously try to find a way to get into the end zone. I think that those are the main things that we’re trying to accomplish and no matter how long you play, you want to be able to do that. Obviously, if you get to play a little bit longer, it can allow you, hopefully, to get into a little bit of a rhythm where you can maybe do some things."
