On Friday’s trial of Willie Clark, who was suspected to murder former Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams, Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall was present to testify. He recognized Clark to be one of the men he saw in a confrontation before the shooting but could not confirm he was the one who shot his former teammate to death.
Recalling the shooting on New Year’s Day, Marshall said he got a phone call from someone telling him what had happened and saw former teammate Javon Walker in a bloodstained shirt at a hospital, clutching a necklace that belonged to Williams. It has been reported that Williams’ death was the biggest reason for Brandon’s intension to take off Broncos jersey and leave for somewhere else. It’s possibly true considering his emotional manner on the trial.
The 26-year-old Clark is on trial for first-degree murder, 16 counts of attempted murder and other charges but maintains he is innocent and his defense attorneys argue he is a scapegoat as there is no direct evidence proving that he was the one who shot.

Broncos QB Orton missed third straight practice, doubtful for Sunday game
It is very unlikely that the Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton will play with the team against the San Diego Chargers this Sunday, as he has missed three consecutive practices by Friday because of a sprained left ankle.
And backup quarterback Chris Simms took first-team practice repetitions for the third consecutive practice Friday since he did so after Orton was injured during last week’s 27-17 loss to the Washington Redskins. Orton’s being unlikely to play means Simms will likely to make his first start since September 2006, when he suffered a life-threatening spleen injury while playing in Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey against the Carolina Panthers.
Whether Orton will play this Sunday will be determined after Saturday’s workout, when Orton will be put through the workout to see how well he could perform. He is now listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.

Broncos WR Marshall will likely be held out of Sunday exhibition
Leaving training camp on the first weekend with a hamstring injury, the Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall returned to team just a week ago. However, it seemed he was still unwilling to play with the team—he did not appear in Broncos Thursday workout again.
The holdout began after the Broncos refused his desire for a new contract. Marhsall had asked to be traded and given a chance to put on other team's nfl jersey and missed a lot of practices. The excuse was that he had a hamstring problem. However, Coach Josh McDaniels refused to say whether Marshall’s absence was health-related during a post-practice news conference.
Even though Marshall participated fully in the team’s drill, he still hold himself out of some pre-practice warm-up drills open to the media Wednesday. He was hold out by McDaniels of the last Saturday’s exhibition at Seattle, and skipping Thursday workout may cause him to be held out of another preseason game—Sunday night’s exhibition against the Chicago Bears.
