From the moment Mark Sanchez and Trevor Siemian were named co-starters by Gary Kubiak, the assumption was that each would get one of the Broncos first two starts, and Kubiak confirmed that on Thursday, naming Siemian as the Week 2 starter.

Kubiak, though, said Sanchez will get his fair share of time with the ones.

Even better news, the Broncos expect to of their star defenders to make a return to the field on Saturday, too.

Wolfe went down with injury earlier in the week, and for a moment it looked as if he may have suffered a serious ankle sprain, so to have him back on the field in a matter of days is a major positive.
