The Denver Broncos had a heated practice on Wednesday, and the smack talk continued off the field when Marvin Mims told reporters after practice that defensive lineman Malcolm Roach is a " fat guy ." Broncos coach Sean Payton did not speak to media members on Wednesday,

While the offense did improve in some areas, there were still too many turnovers, and the ball hit the ground way too often. The Titans’ defense is throwing mixed coverages at Ward early on, which could be one of the reasons for his early struggles. All in all, it was a solid day's work, and here are five takeaways from the session.

The big winner of Wednesday’s practice was no doubt third-year cornerback Joey Porter Jr, who put on a show early on and continued his strong performances throughout practice.
