ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian was held out of practice Wednesday due to a foot injury and his status Sunday for the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars is in question.Broncos coach Gary Kubiak called the injury a foot sprain, and Siemian has worn a walking boot on for the past two days.You know what? Its just something he came out of the game and very, very sore Monday morning, kind of swelled up on him and [head trainer Steve Antonopulos] thought it was best to put him in a boot for a few days, Kubiak said. ... Well see where hes at tomorrow.Siemian was injured in the Broncos first possession of overtime Sunday in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Siemian is believed to have been injured on a 1-yard scramble in the Broncos field goal drive to open overtime.Chiefs outside linebacker Justin Houston tackled Siemian from behind on the play.[I] kind of woke up the next morning and was a little sore, Siemian said, adding that he felt just kind of funny immediately following the play. Siemian finished out the game and had a career-most 368 yards passing on the night to with three touchdowns.At 7-4 the Broncos are in the tightest of battles for a playoff spot with five games remaining in the regular season. At the moment the Broncos are the seventh seed in the AFC playoff picture given they are in third place in the AFC West and the Miami Dolphins (7-4) currently have a better AFC record.If Siemian cant play against the Jaguars, rookie?Paxton Lynch?would get his second start of the season.?Lynch started the Broncos Week 5 loss to the Atlanta Falcons when Siemian had a left shoulder injury.Siemian was sacked five times in the game and took several other big hits. He has taken his share of punishment this season as the Broncos offensive line has struggled at times. He has been sacked 13 times in the last three games.As he did when Siemian was recovering from the shoulder injury, Kubiak said Wednesday that Siemian could be held out of practice all week and still play against the Jaguars if the the team feels the quarterback has sufficient mobility to play.Trevor could play without practicing, Kubiak said. Hes really, really bright.[Im] a little sore today, nothing too crazy, just a little sore, Siemian said. ... Just want to put as much into each day getting better as I can. I think if I can play, there isnt going to be any limitations on what I can do.Asked how many days he expected to wear the walking boot this week, Siemian said; Hopefully not too many.The Broncos are 7-3 in Siemians 10 starts this season and hes thrown for 2,396 yards to go with 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Arizona Diamondbacks will avoid having to play a doubleheader in Texas. Except now they will have to make an extra trip later in the season to play a makeup game against the Rangers. Arizonas game at Texas on Wednesday night was postponed due to unplayable field conditions caused by a severe thunderstorm just more than an hour before the game was scheduled to start. During the storm that included lightning, gusty winds and heavy rains, the infield was soaked while the grounds crew struggled to get the tarp on the field. "We walked around, I was standing out there ... the field took a ton of water," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "They wanted to play a game today, we didnt want to play a doubleheader (Thursday), but it was just dangerous. It was really muddy on the baselines." Though the rain stopped and the grounds crew had been working on the field, Rangers officials announced the postponement just about an hour after the scheduled start. That decision was made after Gibson joined several Rangers officials, including CEO Nolan Ryan, general manager Jon Daniels and manager Ron Washington, to survey the field. "Third base and the third-base line was just entirely too soft," Washington said. "Out of the box down the first-base line, halfway where the umpires box is, its soft too. When I saw (the rain) I was watching them go under the tarp bringing the stuff that was on the field out. I didnt see the rain or the wind blow." Arizona and Texas will play a single game as scheduled Thursday, in what was to be the end of the Diamondbacks last scheduled trip to Rangers Ballpark. The Diamondbacks are scheduled to play Friday afternoon at the Chicago Cubs. The game postponed Wednesday will be made up at a later date, likely Aug. 15, a mutual off day for both teams. That is a scheduled day off for the Diamondbacks after an eight-game homestand and before a game in Pittsburgh. That is in the middle of what is already eight home games in a row for Texas. Rangers spokesman John Blake said there were no injuries reported during the storms, but thhat about 25 trees outside the stadium sustained damage or were toppled by the bad weather.dddddddddddd. Arizona swept a planned doubleheader against Texas on Monday at home. The teams had Tuesday off before the scheduled two games at Rangers Ballpark. Both scheduled starting right-handers for the postponed game are set to start Thursday. Brandon McCarthy (2-3) will pitch for the Diamondbacks against Justin Grimm (4-3). "I thought we were going to go, it was just a matter of when," said McCarthy, who never started warming up for the game. "It was a wasted off day for nothing." A few minutes after the postponement was announced, Grimm was out in front of the Rangers dugout throwing long toss to bullpen catcher Josh Frasier. Gibson said part of the field was OK, but that groundkeeper Dennis Klein said he needed to " get spikes in it, open it up and let some air get in there and dry it out. " More than a dozen grounds crew members were working on the field after the game was called, concentrating their efforts on the third-base line. During Arizonas batting practice before the game, an announcement was made that the area was under a severe thunderstorm warning. Fans were asked to leave the upper deck and all fans were told to seek shelter. When the Diamondbacks left the field a few minutes later, some field crew members rolled the batting cage out of the way while others starting pulling the tarp. While the crew tried to get the tarp in position, gusty winds caused the heavy covering to start flapping wildly and it wound up bunched together toward second base and in shallow centre field. Heavy rain fell during the several minutes it took to get the tarp under control and cover the infield, with the grounds crew joined by security and other ballpark personnel. Once the storm had passed, the crew prepared the infield dirt with drying dust and worked furiously to try to prepare the field for play. As planned, the tarp was then pulled back over the field -- with no issues this time -- with another storm
