LenDale White will miss regular season with Achilles tear (SportingNews.com)
Denver Broncos running back LenDale White will be out for the regular season after tearing his Achilles tendon in the team’s final exhibition game, sources tell ESPN’s Adam Schefter. White was signed as a backup for second-year backs Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter. He was hurt on a 9-yard run in the second quarter at Minnesota and stayed down for a moment before carefully exiting the field. White had been expected to miss the first four games of the season as he serves a suspension for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy.
Broncos Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
<p>Denver would have been a work in progress anyway this summer. But the spate of injuries during August has cast doubt on the kind of immediate cohesiveness the team will have in the early season.</p> <p>That holds true, in particular, on the offensive side.</p> <p>Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, running backs Correll Buckhalter, Knowshon Moreno and LenDale White, offensive linemen Ryan Clady and Chris Kuper and tight ends Daniel Graham and Richard Quinn all have missed significant time in the trainer's room.</p> <p>Sprinkle in some anticipated rookie contributors and it could be anything but a seamless transition to the regular season.</p> <p>All those players could be back for the opener, except maybe Thomas, but some—Clady and Moreno—may not be ready for a full workload...
Reason for concerns: AFC West (SportingNews.com)
A capsule look at reasons for concern among teams in the AFC West: Denver Broncos 1. Inexperience/injuries on O-line. Denver likely will start two rookies -- LG Zane Beadles and C J.D. Walton -- and while there's talent, there's a learning curve. To compound matters, LT Ryan Clady has only recently returned to practice coming off knee surgery and RG Chris Kuper has some ankle issues. Continuity will take some time. 2. Pass rushers. There have been signs OLB Robert Ayers might be ready to make a step forward.
Preseason checkdown: Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy perfect in finales (SportingNews.com)
The final night of exhibition games was replete with the NFL's notable rookie quarterbacks: Sam Bradford, St. Louis Rams It will be surprising if the Rams don't start the season with the first overall pick as their starting quarterback. Bradford strengthened his case to be the No. 1 in Week 1 with another strong performance at home, going 6-for-6 on a touchdown drive in his only series against the Baltimore Ravens. Colt McCoy, Cleveland Browns Perhaps buoyed by assurances he would make the Browns' 53-man roster, McCoy shook off three shaky stints...

Broncos lose RB LenDale White to ankle injury (AP)
Denver Broncos running back LenDale White has left the team's final preseason game with an injured ankle.

Raiders Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
<p>A year after a tumultuous training camp—which included the daily struggles of JaMarcus Russell and allegations of assault and domestic assault against head coach Tom Cable—the Raiders spent a serene month in the wine country to sort it all out.</p>
<p>Russell is gone, released after three years and zero progress toward validating his status as the No. 1 overall pick of the 2007 draft. Cable kept his coaching job but relinquished offensive coordinator and play-calling duties, concentrating on the overall picture.</p>
<p>The general feeling in Oakland was one of optimism, and not just because the more professional Jason Campbell had replaced Russell at quarterback. The Raiders went after some specific areas of concern, the rushing defense in particular, and appear to have one...

<p>The Chargers put the lid on what on the most bizarre camps they've had in years.</p>
<p>They hit the field for good Sept. 13 in a Monday Night game against the Chiefs. Maybe at that point the year will take on a sense of normalcy.</p>
