Wednesday's highlight:
The Broncos continue to show some progress in their rookie class with safety Darcel McBath and cornerback Alphonso Smith — both second-round picks this past April — having lined up with the starting defense Wednesday morning to fill in for veterans Champ Bailey and Brian Dawkins. Bailey was given the morning off while Dawkins, who has been practicing with a cast on his fractured right hand has only participated in one practice each time the Broncos have held two-a-days since he returned to the field. Smith has also taken plenty of snaps as the Broncos nickel corner - the fifth defensive back — while McBath overtook fellow rookie David Bruton on the depth chart to line up as Dawkins' backup.
Lowlight of the day:
Everybody's coy at the moment, but wide receiver Brandon Marshall spent much of Wednesday on the scout team — wearing a red jersey with No. 84 — as he ran plays impersonating Seattle wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Marshall implied it was his call to run those plays because he wants to work against the Broncos defensive regulars while head coach Josh McDaniels said every players takes scout team repetitions in practice. All in all, it's adding up to a disgruntled player and a team that clearly is trying to make a point. Eddie Royal, Jabar Gaffney and Chad Jackson were in the starting offense when the team went to a three-wide look while Gaffney, rookie Kenny McKinley and Jackson lined up with the second-team offense in the three-wide look in many of the team drills.
