The belief is that Denver Broncos wide receivers Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders will both return in 2018 as the team searches for a top quarterback.

Lance McCullers Working On Body Alignment
Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers said he is focusing more on his body alignment this year.

The Denver Broncos seem intent on making running back Devontae Booker their No. 1 back moving forward, which means C.J. Anderson could be released in the offseason.
