Broncos release DE Rice

Football Betting Lines

11/09/2007 - Englewood, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Denver Broncos released 12-year NFL veteran defensive end Simeon Rice, head coach Mike Shanahan announced after Friday's practice.

The former third-overall pick in the 1996 draft had been dealing with a shoulder injury since last season, though Shanahan did not say that was the reason Rice was released.

Rice played six games with the Broncos, his first year with the team after six with Tampa Bay, and made 11 tackles and one pass breakup.

This week, Denver added three defensive ends, all younger than Rice: Josh Mallard, Paul Carrington, and rookie Larry Birdine. Additionally, starting ends Kevin Carter and Greg Spires have a combined 54 tackles and three sacks.

"In the current situation, we felt like we were better with the younger players that we do have," Shanahan said. "They gave us the best chance to win. That's the direction we're going."

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
