ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Kyle Williams Black Friday Jersey . -- Plugging the gaping hole at defensive tackle has proven to be the Denver Broncos biggest bugaboo. The draft was deep in run-stuffers but the Broncos bypassed them all, choosing instead to select the best pass-rusher in Von Miller with the second overall pick and electing to pick up a few more beefy bodies in free agency. Their wallets werent thick enough to lure the marquee names in the frenzied days after the lockout ended. But they liked their luck when Ty Warren was cut by New England. The Broncos made the former Patriots star interior lineman the centrepiece of their free agent class by signing him to a US$8-million, two-year deal that included a $2.5 million bonus and $1.5 million salary for 2011. They also re-signed their own free agent defensive tackle, Marcus Thomas, at $1 million for one year. Both were injured within five minutes of each other when they lined up with the first-team defence during a 9-on-7 drill Monday. Thomas (strained pectoral) and Warren (torn triceps) wont be back on the field anytime soon. Thomas chest muscle wasnt completely torn off the bone like Elvis Dumervils was when he suffered a season-ending injury early in last summers training camp. So, the Broncos are hoping hell be ready to play by the time their season starts Sept. 12. Warren is out indefinitely. The Broncos are hoping he wont need surgery and can return to the field at some point this season, although that would mean going with a 52-man roster for a while. "Well, injuries are part of the deal, especially in camp," coach John Fox said. "We have a next-man-up philosophy, so Bunk (Brodrick Bunkley) and Kevin Vickerson, theyll get an opportunity, along with some others, and well just take it day to day." Thomas was starting in both the base and nickel defences and Warren was the Broncos biggest, most accomplished defensive tackle in the rotation. "Those are two vital pieces that were going to be a part of this defence," Vickerson said. "We cant think about it. Weve just got to keep on keeping on, and the next guy has got to be ready. Thats why you cant have any weaknesses in your depth chart and you cant have anybody getting lax." Warren, 30, missed all of last season with a hip injury and a surgery to repair his torn triceps could threaten not only his season but his career. Warren was especially excited for the Broncos pre-season opener at Dallas last week. "I knew he was fired up and showed a lot of emotion because he got back on the field after a year off," Vickerson said. "I know its kind of messing with him a little bit just because hes going through an injury like this, but hopefully its not a season-ending injury and he can come back soon." In other news, the Broncos released running back LenDale White. The former USC star never had the chance to play for his hometown team. He suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the final pre-season game last year and missed the entire season. He ran for 10 yards on four carries in the Broncos pre-season opener but hadnt been on the practice field enough to compete for a roster spot. "Its just a tough injury for any NFL player to overcome, especially at running back, through a lockout. We couldnt supervise anything," general manager Brian Xanders said. Whites chances were also hurt when back spasms sidelined him for several days early in camp. "We want all of our guys to compete 100 per cent during practice," Xanders said. Likely factoring into the move was the impressive play of Jeremiah Johnson, a second-year pro from Oregon who looks to be in line to back up Knowshon Moreno and Willis McGahee in the Broncos backfield. Notes: The Broncos claimed LB Alvin Bowen and released LB A.J. Jones. ... TE Richard Quinn (knee), OL Stanley Daniels (ankle) and DB SydQuan Thompson (groin) didnt practice, and WR Eric Decker (foot) and DT Ronnell Brown (unspecified) didnt complete practice. Decker said his left foot, which was surgically repaired 18 months ago, was sore and he was just being cautious. He said hell be back Wednesday. Ry... Shazier Black Friday Jersey .

Luke Wileman and I stood in the corridor outside of the Vancouver Whitecaps dressing room at BC Place in Vancouver. WINNIPEG -- Players and coaches from both teams agree controlling turnovers, and not the weather, will be key when the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Hamilton Tiger-Cats meet today in the CFL East Division final. You can see the game on TSN, TSN.ca and TSN Mobile TV beginning at 1pm et/10am pt, plus you can chat with your fellow fans on our Game Day blog. Getting off to a fast start in the last CFL game ever played before a sellout crowd of more than 30,000 fans at Canad Inns Stadium would help, too. Sluggish first quarters have plagued the Bombers this season, although they did manage to beat the Ticats in all three of their regular season meetings on the way to top spot in the East. It was a Cinderella turnaround for a team that finished 4-14 last year and missed the playoffs and it helps that Winnipeg starting quarterback Buck Pierce insists hes 100 per cent coming off a knee injury. "It feels great because you really never know how many opportunities youre going to get," Pierce said Saturday as the Bombers prepared to play for a shot at the Grey Cup, a trophy they havent won in 21 years. Its set to be a frosty final, with temperatures expected around -12 C at game time. Crews were busy clearing snow from the field and the stands Saturday. But thats not unexpected in Western Canada in November. "I was expecting worse, playing in Winnipeg and knowing at this time of the year it can get bad," said Hamilton quarterback Kevin Glenn, who used to play for the Bombers. "Going out there today its fine and this is what its expected to be Sunday. Winnipeg head coach Paul LaPolice said there are other factors to deal with. "The wind is the bigger concern for me this late in the year," he said. "IIts sometimes hard to throw the ball with the wind because the ball will hang up in the air. [url=http://www.officialnflonlineshop.com/Black-Friday-Denver-Broncos-Steve-Atwa... Atwater Black Friday Jersey[/url]. " LaPolice said Winnipeg, which will play home games at a new stadium at the University of Manitoba next season, had success at times in 2011 throwing in gusty conditions. Ticats head coach Marcel Bellefeuille, meanwhile, isnt worried the cold will give the Bombers much of an advantage after taking a straw poll in the locker-room. "Seventy per cent of our team have either played out in the Prairies and in playoff games and/or were raised or born here, so I think that shouldnt be an issue," he said. Also not an issue as far as Bellefeuille is concerned is Hamiltons decision to sign former Winnipeg receiver Terence Jeffers-Harris just before the weekend game, a day after he was released by the Bombers for not making meetings and other issues. The coach insisted he got no intelligence on the Bombers from his new prospect, whose signing he defended as a business decision, even as some on the Ticats were tweeting exactly the opposite. This will likely be Bomber nose tackle Doug Browns last game home game. The CFL all-star has said he plans to retire, although he was just a little cagey Saturday when asked about speculation he might change his mind. "This game isnt about how many snaps I have left or not, this is the final chapter of the 2011 Winnipeg Blue Bombers and what were going to make of this season," said Brown, who was upset with how the team played in the regular season finale against Toronto at Canad Inns. "We had one opportunity to close it out in the regular season and we obviously didnt live to our end of the bargain in closing this place down with the respect it deserves." ' ' '
