ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- High draft picks Ty Sambrailo and Jeff Heuerman can shake their monikers as men of mystery this weekend.Both are being pressed into duty when the Broncos (2-0) visit the Cincinnati Bengals (1-1).Sambrailo, a second-round draft pick last year, stepped in at left tackle in 2015 when Ryan Clady went on injured reserve but his own season was over within three weeks because of a shoulder injury. This summer, he missed his chance to regain a starting job because he hyperextended his right elbow early in camp and only recently returned to health.I think this game will be a full year of time not playing football, said Sambrailo, who was injured last Sept. 27 at Detroit. So, Im excited to get back out there and change what this anniversary means.Sambrailo could step in at right tackle for Donald Stephenson (calf) or at right guard with Michael Schofield moving over to the edge.We love the athlete and he played a lot early on for us last year so we feel pretty comfortable that he knows what to do, offensive coordinator Rick Dennison said.Heuerman is another story.He blew out an ACL at rookie minicamp not long after the hugs and handshakes of the draft when the Broncos selected the big tight end out of Ohio State in the third round. He, too, missed large chunks of training camp with hamstring and ankle injuries.Coach Gary Kubiak ruled Virgil Green (calf) out on Friday and said Heuerman and veteran John Peters will fill in.While Peters provides good blocking and experience, Heuerman is a big target -- 6-5 and 255 pounds -- for QB Trevor Siemian, who will need another outlet should Marvin Lewiss schemes take out either Emmanuel Sanders or Demaryius Thomas the way the Bengals have neutralized Steelers star Antonio Brown and Jets receiver Brandon Marshall.Now its time for Jeff to step up, Kubiak said.Yes, its about time, Heuerman said. I do need to get in there and make some plays and help this team win.Dennison and Kubiak envision big things for Heuerman in this West Coast offense thats been hampered by injuries at tight end since last season.Hes such a big guy. Hes long. He does a lot of things. Its just a matter of if hes ready to go and where hes fitting in, said Dennison. Obviously, we liked Jeff enough to draft him pretty high.Kubiak trusts hell soon be talking about Heuermans productivity and not just his potential. He lauded his intelligence, his blocking skills and his ability to beat man coverage. He said being around Phillips has helped him, too.You just sit here and keep your fingers crossed for Jeff, Kubiak said. Hes been battling his tail off to be a part of this thing and hes going back pretty close to where he went to school. Its going to be a big weekend for him.Green, who missed three games with a more severely strained calf in 2014, said he believes Heuerman will make a splash Sunday.Obviously he catches the ball well and runs nice routes, but I think what most people wouldnt think about Jeff is he is a very strong guy and hes not afraid to get physical, Green said. And obviously having guys like me and John here, thats our mindset in the tight end room to be the most physical tight ends in the National Football League.Heuerman figures theres no better place to make his NFL debut than Paul Brown Stadium.Its pretty cool. I have a lot of people coming to the game, he said. Ive actually played in that stadium. We played a spring game there a couple of years ago, my sophomore or junior year spring game, and it was good.Game notes Green and Donaldson said they believe theyll be back in action next weekend. Along with OLB DeMarcus Ware, theyre not making the trip so they can get treatment. ... WR Bennie Fowler also is expected to make his debut this weekend after missing a month with a broken right elbow. ... The Broncos turned up the noise all week to prepare QB Trevor Siemian for his first road game. We made it really, really hard on him. So, practice has not been easy. But thats OK, because games arent easy, either, Kubiak said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Custom Soccer Jerseys Outlet .C. -- Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said after all of these years in the NBA hes still amazed at some of the things LeBron James does.

Superbowl winner Marshawn Lynch says Jarryd Hayne failed to make it in American football because of the cultural divide between the NRL and NFL.The code-hopping league star left the San Francisco 49ers in May in a bid to qualify for the Rio Olympics with the Fiji Rugby Sevens team.Lynch, in Australia to promote the US College Football season opener in Sydney this weekend, said on Thursday that while he was in awe of Haynes athletic prowess, there was too deep of a cultural chasm for him to cross.Hes a good athlete, Lynch said.I just think the culture of the game out here didnt translate back in the states.The recently-retired Seattle Seahawks running back is in Sydney with his old alma mater University of California ahead of the Golden Bears first game of the season against the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors at ANZ Stadium.The man known as Beast Mode made a surprise appearance at South Sydney training at Reddfern Oval, leaving several members of the Rabbitohs squad starstruck.ddddddddddddLynchs PR man Grant Vandanberg also manages Souths co-owner Russell Crowe and shocked club officials late on Wednesday by informing them Lynch would be doing a last-minute photo op.Lynch took a handful of questions from journalists, however needed Rabbitohs big man Sam Burgess to translate because he couldnt understand the Australian media accents.He said Hayne was responsible for lifting the profile of American football in the country and he owed him a debt of thanks.Id tell him thank you if he was standing here right now, Lynch said of Hayne.Because as Ive been roaming throughout the city, a lot of people have been saying `thats that American football playing guy.And I think his awareness brought it out.
