Parker Gabriel, Broncos beat reporter: OK gents, the day we’ve been waiting for is almost upon us. Denver holds the No. 12 pick in the first round of the draft, which begins Thursday night. We’ve covered so many different possibilities, iterations and scenarios. Denver on Monday traded for quarterback Zach Wilson.

Nick Sirianni dialed up pressure, but Roger Rosengarten was ready. He came prepared, even if he didn’t quite know it. Rosengarten, the Highlands Ranch native and 2024 NFL Draft prospect, had arrived at the NFL combine in Indianapolis not long before. He knew it would be a grueling week. He knew he’d meet with a ton of teams who wanted to figure out how his career at the University of Washington had prepared him for life in the NFL.

By ED WHITE (Associated Press) DETROIT (AP) — The U. S. Justice Department announced a $138.7 million settlement Tuesday with more than 100 people who accused the FBI of grossly mishandling allegations of sexual assault against Larry Nassar in 2015 and 2016, a critical time gap that allowed the sports doctor to continue to prey on victims before his arrest.

Nassar worked at Michigan State University and also served as a team doctor at Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics.
