ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Broncos centre Dan Koppen is out for the season after tearing his left ACL on Sunday in 9-on-7 drills, less than six weeks after rejoining Denver following J.D. Waltons setback in his comeback from ankle surgery. Koppen, an 11-year veteran who played his first nine seasons with the Patriots, was caught in a pile early in the workout and was carted off the field and taken for an MRI, which revealed the season-ending injury. Manny Ramirez, who took most of the snaps at centre during Denvers off-season practices, stepped in for Koppen, whose teams have gone 108-28 in games he has started. Later in the day, the Broncos signed free-agent centre Steve Vallos, pending a physical. Vallos is a six-year veteran who has played in Seattle, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Jacksonville with nine career starts. "I always cringe," a sombre-sounding coach John Fox said after practice. "You never like to see players get injured, particularly severely injured. But you understand when you do this long enough, whether youre a player or a coach, that this happens. You know, you get them back ready. And youve got some guys that have worked hard off of injuries last year and it will be no different this year." Koppens injury is the latest setback to Peyton Mannings patched-up pocket of protection. Left guard Zane Beadles was the only starting lineman to come out of last season unscathed. All-Pro left tackle Ryan Clady has been limited at training camp since signing a $57.5 million contract earlier this month as he recovers from right shoulder surgery. Tackle Orlando Franklin (toe, shoulder) and guard Chris Kuper (ankle) are also coming off surgeries. Franklin has been back at practice but Kuper hasnt. With Kuper needing another operation this off-season, the Broncos signed right guard Louis Vasquez in free agency. Ramirez started 11 games at right guard last season. "We need that flexibility," Fox said. "When you pick your offensive line, not just for the season, but for game day, you have to pick them from the standpoint of having some flexibility. Youve got to have a swing guard/centre, youve got to have a swing tackle/guard, for the games." Defensive lineman Derek Wolfe also sprained an ankle and didnt return to Saturdays practice, which was the second straight workout in full pads for the Broncos. "Thats the Catch-22 any coach goes through any time of year," Fox said. "Youre getting ready for the season and you need to get into pads because youve got to get in shape and yet youre still trying to make sure youve got enough guys to battle with."

ANKARA, Turkey -- Fenerbahce will enter the Champions League on Friday despite its UEFA ban for match-fixing after winning an emergency ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The Turkish club said in a statement to the Istanbul stock exchange on Thursday it was cleared to take part in the third qualifying round draw. "The execution of the two-year ban from UEFA competitions given to our club by the UEFA (appeal) committee has been suspended by CAS," Fenerbahce said. CAS, which registered the Istanbul clubs appeal against UEFA on Wednesday, said all parties agreed to freeze sanctions until the full appeal verdict. "It is anticipated that hearings will take place in August with a final decision being issued before Aug. 28," the court said in a statement. That schedule gives CAS until the eve of the Champions League draw in Monaco -- though Fenerbahce needs to beat two opponents to reach that elite 32-team stage alongside the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Bayern Munich. "This struggle will continue until the end and both the whole of Turkey and the world will see that Fenerbahce is in the right," president Aziz Yildirim told the clubs television station. The case continues fallout from a widespread match-fixing scandal which has rocked Turkish football for two years, and brought Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erddogan -- a Fenerbahce fan -- into the politics of UEFA and the Turkish Football Federation.dddddddddddd UEFA expelled Fenerbahce from its competitions last month after judging that club officials fixed matches to win the 2011 Turkish league title. UEFA rules bar clubs if they are connected to fixing matches played since April 2007. Fenerbahce finished runner-up in the Turkish Super League last season to earn a preliminary-round place. League champion Galatasaray will advance direct to the group stage, which is worth at least 10 million euros ($13.09 million) in UEFA prize money and television rights payments to each Turkish club advancing. Still, Fenerbahce could yet be removed from Europes signature club competition even after playing matches. In August 2011, the Turkish federation -- reportedly under pressure from UEFA -- withdrew Fenerbahce the day before the Monaco draw. Then, runner-up Trabzonspor was restored by UEFA into the group stage even though it had already been eliminated in the qualifying rounds. Fenerbahce officials, including Yildirim, deny wrongdoing and are appealing their criminal convictions in national courts. In a second case Thursday, CAS cleared Beziktas to enter the Europa League draw ahead of its full appeal hearing next month against expulsion. UEFA ruled that Beziktas officials helped fix the teams 2011 Turkish Cup final win. ' ' '
