Open championship.He brushed me off the court

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Trevor Siemians biggest takeaway from his career-best performance wasnt the masterpiece of pinpoint passes in the face of heavy pressure but a sprained left foot he suffered on one of five sacks.It will sideline him this weekend.The Denver Broncos ruled out Siemian for Sundays game at Jacksonville, meaning rookie Paxton Lynch will make his second career start.Siemian had hoped to return to practice Friday but head athletic trainer Steve Antonopulos informed coach Gary Kubiak his starter wasnt ready.Hell be in a walking boot Sunday when the Broncos (7-4) turn to Lynch, who lost his debut eight weeks ago, against the Jaguars (2-9).The Broncos are scrambling for a playoff spot after their loss to Kansas City in which Siemian threw for a career-best 368 yards with three TDs and no interceptions. He was injured on his last sack, when Tamba Hali powered past Russell Okung to drop the second-year QB.The Broncos are hopeful Siemian returns next week when they travel to Tennessee.I think its still a day to day process, Kubiak said. When we tried to get him going a little bit today we realized it was time to go ahead and make a decision to start Lynch this weekend.Lynch lost to Atlanta in Week 5 when Siemian was out with a bruised left shoulder. Lynch, a first-round pick out of Memphis, had a poor performance against the Falcons, and four days later, Siemian was back in the lineup at San Diego even though he lacked mobility and zip on his throws.Siemian finally returned to health last week following the bye, when he was able to get some rest and a second injection in his non-throwing shoulder.Now hes hurt again.Kubiak said Lynch had a good week of practice but stressed we need to play good around him. Thats our job as a football team, to help him out.So, expect to see Lynch in the shotgun a lot Sunday. Hes much more comfortable there rather than under center, where the Broncos have him lining up with one foot farther back to help with his raw footwork.Siemian won the job in camp in big part because he can digest Kubiaks entire West Coast offense while Lynch is limited after operating such a basic spread offense in college.The coaching staffs message to Lynch is more go win the game than go win the job.The biggest thing is to not overload him too much, let him be free and play. And like I said, the key is the football team playing well around him, Kubiak said.Lynch said Friday hes glad hes gotten his first game and the accompanying butterflies out of the way already: It feels good to have game reps under your belt and Im excited to go get another one, he said.Siemian will make the trip although he might sit in the coaches box with offensive coordinator Rick Dennison rather than stand on the sideline because of the boot.The Broncos also promoted speedy wide receiver/punt returner Kalif Raymond from the practice squad with rookie fullback Andy Janovich (ankle) going on injured reserve.Raymond could supplant Jordan Norwood as the Broncos punt returner. Norwood had two muffs last week, one of which led to a safety and the other to a turnover at midfield and a shove in the back from teammate Aqib Talib.Kubiak wouldnt commit to a change at punt returner, saying only that Raymond would play.Really its a reward more than anything. I mean, this kid does everything, scout team, theres not a rep he misses, whether hes playing DB, wide receiver. So, he deserves an opportunity to help us out, Kubiak said.His speed is just crazy, said Lynch, who has worked with Raymond on the scout team.Raymond, an undrafted rookie from Holy Cross, was promoted five days after the Broncos watched another speedster, Tyreek Hill, score against them on a rush, a reception and a return.Raymond aims to give the Broncos a similar spark.With my size and stature, speed is one of my assets, said Raymond, whos 5-foot-9 and 160 pounds. If I can make that impact from a speed standpoint, thats what I plan to do.Although receiver Bennie Fowler (knee) is out for Sunday, Raymonds promotion gives the Broncos an astonishing eight wide receivers on their active roster to go with two long snappers and just five D-linemen.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Jonathan Ogden Jersey .

LONDON -- It was raining, ever so slightly, and her Wimbledon fourth-round match was slipping away, ever so slightly, when Serena Williams stumbled as she ran to the net, winding up seated on the slick Centre Court grass.Her opponent, two-time major champion Svetlana Kuznetsova, sent a shot flying past Williams to go up a break at 5-4 in the opening set.Williams was slow to get up. She wasnt injured, but was worried she could be. Why, she demanded to know from chair umpire Marija Cicak, wasnt the retractable roof shut? Eventually, after one more game and much discussion, action was delayed for nearly 30 minutes while the cover was closed.Whether it was the transformation to an indoor court, the strategy session the break allowed her to have with coach Patrick Mouratoglou or, as Williams suggested, simply the chance to calm down, she completely dominated the rest of the way, taking the last nine games to beat the 13th-seeded Kuznetsova 7-5, 6-0 on Monday.Im so intense on the court. I give 200 percent every time Im out there. Every single point. Sometimes I just need to take a deep breath and relax. I just needed to do that. I can do that on the timeouts, said Williams, who is seeking her seventh Wimbledon title and 22nd Grand Slam trophy overall.Thats one thing the past four years Ive been really doing a lot of, just really taking a deep breath, re-collecting myself, the No. 1-ranked Williams continued. I had a little more time to do it this time.She wound up winning 24 of the matchs last 29 points, and her 14 aces helped produce a Did I read that right? edge of 43-8 in winners.The 13th-seeded Kuznetsova said she knew closing the roof would help Williams, but agreed it was the right decision, given how wet the grass was, saying: I was afraid. ... Im not ready to risk (an) injury.Williams moved into her 12th quarterfinal at the All England Club, and shell be joined by her older sister Venus at that stage of the tournament for the first time since 2010.A year after that, Venus revealed she had been diagnosed with an energy-sapping disease, and she hasnt approached the level of play that carried her to seven major titles, including five at Wimbledon. At 36 the oldest woman in the field, she eliminated 12th-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro 7-6 (3), 6-4 on Monday.Its wonderful when everything is working. Buut thats not a reality.dddddddddddd. I dont focus so much on, `Oh, my gosh, everything feels good, or, `Oh, shoot, it feels bad, Venus said. Its about, `Can I make this play right now? If I dont feel great, can I still make this play? Thats the mentality I go into my matches with now.The oldest man left is Roger Federer, who turns 35 on Aug. 8, and he looked in fine form after two days of rest, easily dismissing unseeded American Steve Johnson 6-2, 6-3, 7-5. Federer equaled Jimmy Connors Open-era record by reaching his 14th Wimbledon quarterfinal and added to his own mark by making it at least that far at a major for the 48th time.Federer now plays No. 9 Marin Cilic, who beat him en route to the 2014 U.S. Open championship.He brushed me off the court, Federer recalled, like I was nothing.Wednesdays other mens quarterfinals: No. 2 Andy Murray against No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, No. 6 Milos Raonic against No. 28 Sam Querrey, and No. 32 Lucas Pouille against either No. 10 Tomas Berdych or Jiri Vesely. The fourth-rounder between Berdych and Vesely was suspended Monday night because of darkness, tied at two sets apiece.Cilic (against No. 5 Kei Nishikori) and Tsonga (against No. 7 Richard Gasquet) advanced when opponents quit because of injury.In the womens quarterfinals, Venus will meet Yaroslava Shevodva, while Serena faces 21st-seeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Tuesdays other matchups: No. 4 Angelique Kerber vs. No. 5 Simona Halep, and No. 19 Dominika Cibulkova vs. Elena Vesnina.Cibulkovas story is fascinating. She had been past the third round at Wimbledon only once, and therefore figured there was no way she would make it deep into Week 2, so went ahead and scheduled her wedding -- for Saturday, the day of the womens final.After saving a match point and edging 2012 finalist Agnieszka Radwanska 6-3, 5-7, 9-7 in a thriller Monday, she explained that if she defeats Vesnina, the walk down the aisle will have to wait.I said to my team, `OK, now its getting more serious, recounted Cibulkova, the Australian Open runner-up in 2014. So I told them, `If I win tomorrow, then we seriously have to deal with this.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
