Broncos claim DT Pressley off waivers

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – The Denver Broncos have claimed DeMario Pressley off waivers to bolster their depleted defensive line. Earlier in the week, the Broncos lost Marcus Thomas (strained pectoral) and Ty Warren (torn triceps) for an indefinite amount of time. The 6-foot-3, 301-pound Pressley became available when he was released by Indianapolis. Pressley is a fourth-year player out of North Carolina State. He appeared in one game for Houston last season. With the injuries to Thomas and Warren, Brodrick Bunkley and Kevin Vickerson will receive a majority of the reps. It also opens up an opportunity for other defensive tackles such as Ryan McBean, Mitch Unrein, Ronnell Brown and now Pressley. Jeremy Jarmon, who’s typically a defensive end, is moving inside to create more depth at the position.

Nebraska’s Dennard out with pulled leg muscle

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – Nebraska cornerback Alfonzo Dennard is out indefinitely with a pulled leg muscle. Coach Bo Pelini announced Dennard’s injury after Wednesday’s practice.  Pelini didn’t say when the injury occurred. Dennard is the most experienced member of the Cornhuskers’ secondary. He was a first-team All-Big 12 selection last season despite being overshadowed by New York Giants first-round draft pick Prince Amukamara. The 5-foot-10, 205-pound senior from Rochelle, Georgia, is one of the nation’s top returning corners after intercepting four passes and breaking up seven others last season.

Gonzalez, Rockies pound Marlins in 12-5 win

DENVER (AP) – Aaron Cook pitched effectively into the eighth inning and Carlos Gonzalez’ three-run homer highlighted a powerful offensive display that sent the Colorado Rockies to a 12-5 victory over the Florida Marlins on Wednesday night. The Rockies, who had struggled to provide Cook with run support in past outings, batted around twice in beating Ricky Nolasco for the first time in six tries. Chris Iannetta also provided much of the offensive pop, hitting a double and a single to drive in four runs. Gonzalez, who also had a run-scoring single, also finished with four RBIs. Nolasco (9-9) came in sporting a 5-0 record in his five previous starts against the Rockies, including going 3-0 with a 1.64 era in his three prior starts at Coors Field.
