Ryan Lilja came out of retirement to join Peyton Manning on another Super Bowl run. That attempt was cut short as the Denver Broncos parted ways with Lilja on Saturday.

What key players will miss at least the first six weeks of the season while on the PUP list? Seahawks receiver Percy Harvin and 49ers wideout Michael Crabtree top the rundown.

No Percy Harvin, no problem? Not quite. See how far Russell Wilson and the Harvin-less Seattle Seahawks have fallen in the latest edition of Elliot Harrison's Power Rankings.

It's an unofficial depth chart, but as it stands right now, Ronnie Hillman is listed as the Denver Broncos' top running back. The second-year pro still has strong competition.

The feeling-out period is over in Denver. The Broncos are a well-oiled machine, just one year after acquiring Peyton Manning. Ian Rapoport pays a visit to training camp and counts the ways.

Ryan Lilja planned on retiring after last season, but the versatile offensive lineman might consider returning to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013.

The front office and coaching staff were gutted after another 2-14 season. The Kansas City Chiefs' new leadership begins its reign with the No. 1 pick in the draft.

The Kansas City Chiefs will be without Rodney Hudson for the rest of the season after their starting center broke his leg in Sunday's win over the New Orleans Saints.

The "C" patch on select players' jerseys has become a ubiquitous part of the NFL. But what are the roles and responsibilities of a captain? Jeff Darlington says the answer varies from team to team.

The Kansas City Chiefs are sitting pretty in terms of their salary cap, but according to Brian McIntyre, 31-year-old tackle Ryan Lilja could be pushed out of his starting spot by rookie Jeff Allen.

Casey Wiegmann started 175 consecutive games at center, but the streak likely will come to an end soon. Who might the Chiefs ask to anchor their O-line without Wiegmann? Possibly Rodney Hudson.

Even though Matt Cassel's three years in Kansas City have been just so-so, he's got a staunch supporter in starting guard Ryan Lilja. But the question still remains if the Chiefs organization will follow.

There's no need to waste John Fox's honeymoon season in Denver, which is why the Broncos must find out if Tim Tebow can be their franchise QB.

Upsets prove NFL lacks dominant team

Colts coach Jim Caldwell has handed over the offense to new coordinator Clyde Christensen, and the hope is that not much changes -- as in Indy's high-powered machine rolls on.
