Broncos head toward divisional road test at L.A. Chargers with nearly fully healthy roster

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:29:35 GMT

Say this for the 2023 Broncos: They’ve been remarkably healthy.Whether or not the team can take advantage of that down the stretch — or if it lasts — remains to be seen, of course. But for now, it sets Denver up well heading into a tough divisional road test against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.Sean Payton’s team had no injury limitations for Thursday’s practice on its 53-man roster. Denver had 51 full participants and the only two players who didn’t practice — defensive lineman Mike Purcell and tight end Chris Manhertz — were held out on veteran rest days rather than because of injury.The Broncos had several players limited Wednesday, including some key ones like All-Pro cornerback Pat Surtain II (knee), defensive lineman Zach Allen (elbow) and right tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee), but they were all fully back in action Thursday.The Chargers, by contrast, had four players who didn’t practice Thursday, three more who were limited and two who practiced fu...

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:29:35 GMT

By Phil Galewitz, KFF Health NewsColorado officials say their plan to import cheaper medicines from Canada has been stymied by opposition from drugmakers and inaction by the Biden administration, according to a state report obtained by KFF Health News.The Dec. 1 report, prepared for the state legislature by Colorado’s Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, says that state officials approached 23 drugmakers in the last year about an importation program. Only four agreed even to discuss the proposal; none expressed interest in participating.“Generally, the challenges that remain are outside state authority and rely on action by FDA and/or drug manufacturers,” the report reads.Lawmakers in both parties, at the state and national level, have sought for decades to legalize importing drugs from Canada. Since 2020, when President Donald Trump’s administration opened the door to Canadian drug imports with regulations issued just weeks before he lost reelection, only a few states ha...
