ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Before bolting on a five-day furlough, Aqib Talib returned to practice for the first time since Oct. 28. The star cornerback has missed Denvers last two games with a sore lower back for which he received a cortisone injection two weeks ago.Hes feeling good. The injection was a successful thing that they did. And I know how excited he is about the last six weeks, coach Gary Kubiak said Tuesday. So, its good to see him get some work in and well pick it up again next week.The Broncos (7-3) get the next five days off. Their next game is Nov. 27 against Kansas City (7-2), a game that was flexed into the Sunday night prime time slot.Talib vowed Sunday that hed be back on the field for that showdown against the Chiefs.Talib brings a spark to both the lineup and the locker room that will come in handy down the stretch for the Broncos, who face the Chiefs twice, Oakland and New England in their homestretch.Its attitude, Kubiak said. Hes such a positive, playmaking, energy guy. And Aqib is a loud guy, we all know that, his personality. But its all about football when hes out here. Hes very bright. So, yeah, we missed him and its great to have him back and just to know that hes feeling well.GM John Elway said Tuesday hes pleased with the teams record and also expects the Broncos to go on another post-bye roll.I think we would take it if you said at Week 10 wed be 7-3 with whats happened. We havent played our best football yet, which I think is the encouraging thing, Elway said during an appearance at his steakhouse where he accepted the USGAs offer to serve as honorary chairman of the 2018 U.S. Senior Open in Colorado Springs.Talibs return will allow fellow star cornerback Chris Harris Jr. to go back to playing the slot, his specialty.The Broncos sorely missed Talib in a 30-20 loss at Oakland but rallied Sunday against the Saints, winning 25-23 behind four takeaways from their No Fly Zone secondary, including three by safety Darian Stewart.Kubiak got to know Stewart during his one season in Baltimore in 2014 and Stewart followed Kubiak to Denver last year.When youre a coach and you go to a new organization and you stand up for somebody, you sure as hell hope youre right, Kubiak said. And I told John (Elway) I thought hed fit in. Hes a good kid, loves to play and boy, just watching him every day has been fun to see.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Mens UA Stephen Curry 4 .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night.

With friends like Brisbane, North Queensland sure dont need enemies.The Broncos insist respect - not revenge - will be the motivating factor in Friday nights NRL grand final re-match in Townsville.But Brisbane fullback Darius Boyd on Monday wasted little time messing with the Cowboys minds, saying all the pressure was on North Queensland in their sudden death semi-final.This week we are the underdogs and the Cowboys have everything to lose playing in their hometown, Boyd said.They are playing at home in front of all their fans and we dont want our season to end.On paper Brisbane dont look like underdogs.They are on a six-game winning run.Defending champions North Queensland have lost four of their last seven.Still, Boyd insisted the Cowboys would be the ones feeling the heat on Friday night - a sensation he admitted Brisbane were all too familiar with.Boyd said Brisbane had been expected to brush everyone aside in the fortnight since their shock round 25 win in Melbourne.Instead they faltered.The Broncos still somehow hung on to clinch wins in those two weeks against the Sydney Roosters and the Gold Coast in last weeks qualifying final.Its hard when you are expected to win games, Boyd said.Against Melbourne we were up for it and did a ggood job.dddddddddddd.But against the Roosters and Titans we were expected to win and it was tough.The last three Queensland derbies have been decided by one point - including the Cowboys famous 17-16 premiership-deciding triumph last year.And another classic looms on Friday night, according to Boyd.The Brisbane custodian insisted friendships forged in State of Origin were the reason why no derby was dull.It will be a case of mate against mate when a Brisbane side boasting six Queensland State of Origin stars line up against four Maroons teammates in Cowboys colours in the sudden-death semi-final.It brings the best out of you. When you play your mates you want to get one up on them, Boyd said of the close derbies.Its the respect between the two teams.Asked if ending the Cowboys title defence would provide a measure of revenge after last years grand final heartache, Boyd said: I dont know about revenge but it would be nice.Any time you beat a quality side at their home ground its great to get one up on them.Weve had some classic clashes the last 12 months with the Cowboys and I expect this to be no different.
