| The NFL Players Association opposes commissioner Roger Goodell's call for players to tell their teams' medical staffs if they think a teammate shows symptoms of a concussion, saying that is not an adequate solution.

| Kyle Orton missed a third consecutive practice Friday because of a sprained left ankle and has only an outside chance of playing Sunday when the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers meet with first place in the AFC West on the line. Broncos backup Chris Simms again took first-team practice repetitions, as he has all week in the absence of Orton, who was injured during last week's 27-17 loss... |

With just a few days of preparation remaining before the Broncos play a key AFC West game against the Chargers, there has been little indication quarterback Kyle Orton will be healthy enough to start.
Orton, who was knocked out of last week's game against Washington with a left ankle injury, has not practiced yet this week. He missed his second straight workout on Thursday, although the Broncos aren't ruling him out.
"He's feeling better," Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said. "Certainly not making any determinations based on where he's at now."
McDaniels said early this week he doesn't have a set theory on sitting a player who doesn't practice all week. He said he evaluates those situations on a case-by-case basis. |

| The ligaments in Kyle Orton's left ankle are torn. He certainly isn't. Orton adamantly wants to start Sunday against San Diego and help the Denver Broncos snap out of a monthlong funk that has wiped out their 3 1/2 -game cushion over the Chargers in the AFC West. Plus, how can he convince the front office that he should be in the team's long-term plans if he's standing on the... |
