What to know if you plan to attend the Denver Broncos training camp

CBS Newsa day ago
Football season is just weeks away, with the Denver Broncos' first preseason game on Saturday, Aug. 9. Training camp, which is open to the public but requires tickets, starts on Friday.
The Broncos' game schedule was released in May, but before the season starts, the team will start preparing at training camp.
Here's everything you need to know about this year's camp.
A total of 13 training camp practices are planned this year. They'll run from July 25 through Aug. 5 and then pick up again Aug. 12, culminating with a joint practice with the Arizona Cardinals on Aug. 14.
Practice starts at 10 a.m. each day, and the gates to the park open at 8 a.m. Practice runs approximately two hours each day.
It's held at Broncos Park, 13655 E. Broncos Pkwy., in Englewood. You'll need tickets to get in.
This year, due to construction of the team's new training facility, fans will be viewing the practices from temporary bleacher seating. These will be located on the south end of the practice fields.
The number of fans at camp this year will be capped at 800 per practice.
Anything brought in must fit in your pockets or be in an approved bag, in line with the Broncos' stadium bag policy, which includes a clear plastic bag no larger than 12" x 6" x 12", a 1-gallon clear resealable bag like a Ziploc, or a small clutch bag or purse, no larger than 4.5" x 6.5".
Sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a portable phone charger, and comfortable shoes are also recommended.
Small cameras and small binoculars are allowed, but only if carried in on their own or in an approved clear bag.
Seat pads can also be brought along, as long as they're 18 inches wide or smaller and don't contain pockets, zippers, or concealable areas.
Everyone will have to go through a walk-through metal detector.
Fans will be provided with a water bottle. No food is allowed.
Here's what you're not allowed to bring:
Parking at Dove Valley Regional Park, 7900 S. Potomac St. Rd., in Centennial, is free, but spots are limited, so attendees are encouraged to use public transit, rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft, or walk or bike if you're close enough.
Players sign autographs after practice, and there will be "Kid Zone" wristbands for anyone 5 to 15 years old. The first 30 fans with Ford key fobs also get early access at the gates and front row seats with swag.
The Broncos say tickets are sold out as of Monday, but ticket-holders can return tickets they have as late as 30 minutes after the start of the practice day they have tickets for, so stock might increase if people return theirs.
If you don't have tickets but want to attend, check the available stock on Ticketmaster. The tickets can't be resold, but those that are returned will be made available again on Ticketmaster by the Broncos.

New Raiders coach Pete Carroll confident they are 'gonna win a bunch' this season after recent struggles

Pete Carroll isn't holding back on how great he thinks the Raiders are going to be this fall. The longtime coach is now leading the way in Las Vegas, and he's extremely confident that he'll turn the franchise around, and quickly. 'We gotta win a ton. We've gotta win a bunch of games … I've been winning 10 games a year for 20 years or something now,' Carroll said on Tuesday. 'What are my expectations? We're gonna win bunch, and I don't care who hears that. It doesn't matter to me.' Now, it's easy to want to ignore a coach speaking this way at the start of training camp. Honestly, it'd be way more surprising if a coach wasn't exuding confidence at this point of the season. Advertisement [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] But Carroll is taking over a franchise that has been in, well, turmoil for years now. After 14 seasons and a Super Bowl win with the Seattle Seahawks, Carroll split with the franchise after the 2023 campaign. He was then hired to replace Antonio Pierce in Las Vegas in January, which makes him the team's fifth head coach over the last five seasons. They also parted with general manager Tom Telesco after just one season, too. The Raiders went just 4-13 last season and finished last in their division. They've made the playoffs just once over the last eight years, and they haven't won a postseason game since their run to the Super Bowl during the 2002 campaign. So the Raiders opted to bring in Carroll to try and right the ship. Based on his track record — he had a stretch where the Seahawks won double-digit games eight times over nine seasons, and he missed the playoffs just four times in Seattle — it's a decent strategy. Carroll brought in Chip Kelly to be his offensive coordinator, too. The pair will start to build an offense around quarterback Geno Smith and rookie running back Ashton Jeanty, among others. The Raiders struck deals with veteran safety Jamal Adams and cornerback J.T. Woods on Tuesday afternoon, too, which should only bolster their defense. Advertisement The Raiders have plenty of work to do to legitimately turn things around. But, at least at the start of camp, there's reason to believe they are on the right path. And Carroll has no doubt that he'll get his new group there.

49ers receiver Jauan Jennings reports to training camp seeking a new contract

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Jauan Jennings reported to training camp for the San Francisco 49ers as he seeks a new contract and the team expects him to be on the field when practice begins on Wednesday. General manager John Lynch said Tuesday that Jennings passed a physical when he reported for camp this week. Advertisement 'I anticipate him being out there,' Lynch said. 'You guys know our feelings on JJ. He embodies what we think a Niner is all about. He plays the right way and we love him. We're not going to get into the contract talks and all that. That takes care of itself. We love him and he's here.' Coach Kyle Shanahan said Jennings hasn't formally requested a trade. Jennings is entering the final season of a two-year, $15.4 million contract and is seeking a long-term extension before the season. Shanahan said he would like to be able to reach an extension with both Jennings and right tackle Colton McKivitz before the season. 'The way they feel about us is the same way we feel about them,' Shanahan said. 'That's the easy part. The hard part is the business side.' Advertisement The Niners were hoping to avoid the contract distractions this summer after dealing with disputes with Nick Bosa, Brandon Aiyuk and Trent Williams the past two seasons that kept all of them out of training camp practices. They reached extensions early in the offseason with stars Brock Purdy, Fred Warner and George Kittle, but now have a potential issue with Jennings. The 2020 seventh-round pick has emerged as one of Purdy's most trusted options at wide receiver after having 77 catches for 975 yards and six TDs last season. With Deebo Samuel having been traded to Washington in March and Aiyuk working back from a knee injury, Jennings has a big role this season. 'It's extremely important obviously,' Purdy said about having Jennings at practice. 'I love JJ and what he brings to our team. Obviously we've had so much success together and anytime you see something like this going on, as a player let's figure out something so we can get back on the field.' Advertisement Injury updates The Niners have several players starting camp in injury lists with the only expected long-term absences coming from players dealing with ACL injuries: Aiyuk, safety Malik Mustapha, linebacker Curtis Robinson and rookie quarterback Kurtis Rourke. Lynch said those players will likely start the season on injured lists but is hopeful they can return some time during the first half of the season. Receiver Ricky Pearsall, defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos and offensive lineman Andre Dillard all will start camp on the physically unable to perform list but are expected back on the field soon. Advertisement Ben Bartch, who is in the mix to start at left guard, will also miss at least the first three days of camp on the non-football injury list after injuring his quadriceps working out on his own. Running back Christian McCaffrey and Williams are both 'here and healthy,' Shanahan said, but their work loads will be managed through camp after dealing with injuries last season. Roster move With questions at receiver, the Niners signed Equanimeous St. Brown to add depth at the position following a tryout on Monday that featured six receivers. St. Brown, the brother of Detroit star Amon-Ra St. Brown, has 63 catches for 928 yards in 62 career games for Green Bay, Chicago and New Orleans. ___ AP NFL:

Tyrann Mathieu announces retirement after standout NFL career

The Honey Badger is calling it quits. Tyrann Mathieu announced Tuesday that he's retiring from football at 33 years old. Mathieu played 12 seasons as a playmaking NFL safety following a standout college career at LSU. He played his last three NFL seasons with his hometown New Orleans Saints. Advertisement At his best, Mathieu was a dynamic defender and one of the best coverage safeties in football. He made three Pro Bowls and was a three-time first-team All-Pro. Mathieu announced his retirement on Instagram. "As I hang up my cleats, I'm filled with gratitude as I close this chapter of my life and officially retire from the game that's shaped me in every way," Mathieu wrote. "From my first snap in college to my final play in the NFL, this journey has been nothing short of a blessing. Football gave me purpose, discipline, and memories that will stay with me forever. But more than anything, it gave me a community." [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] It's unclear if anything specific prompted Mathieu's retirement or if he was just ready to call it a career after 12 NFL seasons. He restructured his contract with the Saints in March and was slated to play this season on what amounted to a one-year, $4 million deal.

(Chris Graythen via Getty Images) Mathieu was an All-American at LSU before being selected in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals. He dropped to the third round in part because of his dismissal from LSU for a violation of team rules. LSU head coach Les Miles later called his decision to dismiss Mathieu "one of the worst things I've ever done." Advertisement Mathieu quickly paid off on Arizona's investment in him. Mathieu finished fourth in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting in 2013. By his third NFL season, Mathieu was a Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro. After five seasons with the Cardinals, Mathieu played a single season with the Houston Texans before a three-season stint with the Kansas City Chiefs in which he won a Super Bowl and was twice named first-team All-Pro. Mathieu then joined his hometown Saints in 2022 and played his final three NFL seasons in New Orleans. He finishes his career with 36 interceptions, 11 sacks, eight fumble recoveries, seven forced fumbles and 838 total tackles.
