AFC Notes: Broncos, Raiders, Texans

Broncos

The Broncos have officially changed their stadium name to “Broncos Stadium at Mile High” as they search for a long-term naming rights partner.

โ€œWith the season fast approaching, weโ€™re pleased that the MFSD has approved the temporary name of โ€˜Broncos Stadium at Mile High,โ€™โ€ Broncos chief commercial officer Mac Freeman, via Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. โ€œWhile fans will notice some new signage going up around the stadium reflecting this change, we remain completely focused on securing a long-term naming rights partner.”

Raiders

  • Vic Tafur of the Athletic, Raiders WRย Martavis Bryant had not been notified of a pending suspension as of Wednesday.
  • According toย Tafur, Bryant “did not fail a drug test or miss a test for that matter” despite the report that the Raiders were concerned that a potential suspension could be coming.
  • Tafur adds that he caught wind of a similar report “a couple of months ago” that was killed after there was apparently a “complication” with one of Bryant’s tests that was “cleared up when Bryant visited the NFL offices.”

Texans

Texans HC Bill O’Brien said DE J.J. Watt is “in a good place” regarding his recovery from a broken leg and is “very positive” about Watt’s rehab up to this point.

I feel good about J.J. because J.J. feels good about J.J.,” said O’Brien, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle. “He’s in a good place. He’s been here every day. He’s very positive about where he is from a rehab standpoint.”
