A little over a month after announcing his decision to come out of retirement, the Miami Dolphins have activated tight end Darren Waller off the PUP list.

Broncos coach Sean Payton and Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon agreed before Saturday's game that they wouldn't play their starters.

Broncos coach Sean Payton announced after Thursday's joint practice with the Arizona Cardinals that tight end Nate Adkins underwent a tightrope procedure after spraining his ankle. The recovery time will linger into the regular season.
