hi, everybody, trevor

can reach out and touch it. as long as he doesn't have to lift his arm too high. siemian participated, only for hand offs, can't throw due to a sore shoulder during last weekend's loss to the 49ers, even so he presumed to start against the rams. >> he couldn't throw today, very sore shoulder, he made that tack t individual, unable to throw today. we will see where we are at tomorrow. i expect him to be there, it will be a day-to-day process, looks like, as we get him ready. >> saturday night's game with the rams is channel 20 at 6:00, we are live, 9 news broncos insider mike klis is at team headquarters, lets play klis and tell. 4 days until kick off, siemian can't throw a football, how will this affect the quarterback competition? >> reporter: why not a little

deal for the broncos? the siemian tackle attempt not only looked bad, it was bad, he jammed his right shoulder pretty good there. i do think it is not going to affect the competition at all, in fact, if he can't throw much saturday against the rams, i wouldn't be surprised if he still announced as the starter agebs carolina. one-- against carolina. one thing it did do, it gave lynch first team reps without anybody thinking it was a big deal he and sanchez mixed in with everybody because siemian couldn't go. i think it helps lynch come along a little bit but i think siemian is in the clear lead and i think paxton lynch has a slight chance to become the starter on september 8. >> sanchez was supposed to be fighting for the starting quarterback job, instead you think he is fighting for a roster spot now? >> reporter: yeah, bad sign when

shoulder is announced as the starter ahead of you this week. with sanchez, it is one of those start or bust type of things, he has some issues, if he falls, if he can't start. you don't want him necessarily takes reps away from paxton lynch, who will need him still through the season. i think at some point they want lynch to play this year. he has $4.5 million salary, that is a lot of money for a third spring if he doesn't make the team, the broncos don't have to send 7th round draft pick to the philadelphia eagles. there is a lot of issues conspiring against sanchez not making the team if he is not the starter. >> remarkable. thanks, mike. rockies pitcher john gray tries to snap out of a terrible slump this evening, gray is allowed 19 runs in his last 12 innings, rocks gave up 4 hits but still lost the series opener with the brewers last night.

a couple runs. rocks fell 4-2. have i mentioned how much i love sports? >> you have, you have, you do, and you will. >> i do now more than ever, after demaryius thomas lrned that former carolina panthers quarterback josh norman bragged about limiting thomas to one catch in super bowl 50, thomas struck back by tweeting his super bowl ring with a fellah?" >> that ought to shut him up, he is on the washington redskins, he won't be here opening night. >> like a mini ring you can-- >> yeah, that would be cool. >> we will work on that. >> no such thing as mini ring with super bowl rings. no more rain for a little while. >> not a lot of rain out here in the backyard or denver tonight,

moisture will move into denver, probably holding off until tomorrow. how about 70? gotta love that for the end of august. fall is right around the corner and, drew, big football game saturday, 83 with sunshine. >> doing it again. >> what? >> can't be nicer than last week. >> because you love sports so much, i am all over this. >> could be.
