Broncos coach won’t commit to playing recalcitrant receiver Brandon Marshall vs. Seattle

Marshall might find himself on sidelines Saturday

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Broncos coach Josh McDaniels says he hasn’t decided if recalcitrant receiver Brandon Marshall will play in Denver’s preseason game at Seattle this weekend.

Marshall spent a second straight day working almost exclusively with the scout team Thursday, 24 hours after saying he was nowhere near mastering the new offense.

Marshall is upset with the Broncos over their refusal to redo his contract or trade him and with their handling of his acquittal on battery charges last week, when players were told by a staffer not to say they were happy for him.

McDaniels said after practice Thursday that he hadn’t decided on playing plans for Marshall, who missed the preseason opener at San Francisco last week while attending his court case in Atlanta.
