Australian offensive lineman David Yankey is back with Carolina Panthers a day after being cut by the NFL team.The Panthers, runners-up in last seasons Super Bowl, saw enough talent in the Sydney-born 198cm tall, 141kg guard to add him to the teams 10-man practice squad.Yankey, 24, was a casualty on Saturday when NFL teams were forced to slash their squads from 75 players to 53 ahead of this weeks start to the 2016/17 season.The Panthers will be seeking revenge in their season opener on Thursday in a Super Bowl re-match against the champion Denver Broncos, featuring Australian rookie defensive end Adam Gotsis.While Gotsis could play at Denvers Mile High stadium, Yankey and other practice squad players are not eligible to take the field.Practice squad members work out and practice with the 53-man roster, but they do not play games and are paid about $[US] 100,000 for the year, well below the $[US] 450,000 minimum rookie salary.NRL star Jarryd Hayne found himself on the San Francisco 49ers practice squad last season after three fumbles and other mistakes cost him his place in the 53-man squad.Yankey had a stellar four-year stint at Stanford University where he was a two-time All-American selection, but he has struggled to earn a place in the NFL since being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2014 and waived by the team in 2015.Australian punters Brad Wing (New York Giants), Jordan Berry (Pittsburgh Steelers) and Lachlan Edwards (New York Jets) are also set to play in the NFL this season.

CINCINNATI -- The Broncos defense was back in force, led by Super Bowl MVP Von Miller.The offense has gifted receivers with Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas. C.J. Anderson was there to run the ball.Could they even come close to replacing Peyton Manning? That was Denvers overriding question heading into the season. In his first road game, Trevor Siemian answered emphatically and impressively.Siemian had the best game by a Broncos quarterback in two years -- since Manning was running the show -- as Denver stayed unbeaten with a 29-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He threw four touchdown passes -- Manning was the last Bronco to do that -- and passed for 312 yards.Best of all, he was nearly perfect under the most intense pressure, going completing 11 of 12 passes while leading Denver (3-0) to a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns.Yeah, call it Manning-esque.Obviously going in, nobody really knew about him, said Sanders, who caught the first two touchdowns. Now everybodys starting to talk about him.On a team that aspires to another Super Bowl season, Siemian and his 132.1 passer rating on Sunday sure looked like a perfect fit as the missing piece.Thats what weve been waiting for, man, cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. Thats a huge step forward for our team to do that on the road against a playoff team.For the Bengals (1-2), it was another ominous afternoon. The defending AFC North champions are out of sync on both offense and defense. Theyre 1-2 for the first time in five years. Theyre already two games off the pace in their division.We still have a lot of stuff to clean up, receiver A.J. Green said. Were still trying to find ourselves.Some takeaways from the Broncos win:SIEMIANS IMPRESSIVE START: Siemian, a seventh-round pick last season, is the seventh Broncos quarterback to win his first three starts -- Brock Osweiler also did it last season. The club record is a 6-0 start, by Craig Morton in 1977 and Kyle Orton in 2009. Coach Gary Kubiak showed faith in Siemian by letting him air it out when the Bengals clamped down on Denvers running game. Hee finished 23 of 35, including touchdowns of 41 and 55 yards.ddddddddddddHonestly, theres nothing to tell Trevor, Sanders said. I know hes a young quarterback, but he doesnt act like it. Hes always confident and collected.Hes the one who wants to throw the ball. Hes the one who wants to deliver that pass. Kubiak put a lot of faith in him, and he delivered.OH THAT DENVER D: Once Siemian led them to the lead, the Broncos took care of Andy Dalton, sacking him twice in the fourth quarter. Dalton was 21 of 31 overall for 206 yards, although 92 of those yards came when the Broncos started allowing short completions to drain the clock.Once we get up, its sacks and interceptions time, Harris said. We feel that when we get up by two touchdowns, its over for that team.PICKING ON PACMAN: The Broncos went after Bengals cornerback Adam Pacman Jones, having their receivers use double moves that worked for big plays . Emmanuel Sanders made two moves to spring past Jones for a 41-yard TD catch. With Jones was on the sideline with cramps, Demaryius Thomas put a double move on backup Chris Lewis-Harris for a clinching 55-yard TD catch.OUT-OF-BALANCE OFFENSE: The Bengals could barely run the ball in the first two games. They made that the point of emphasis and got a 50-yard run from Jeremy Hill on the opening drive. After that, Denver clamped down. Hill finished with 97 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but it wasnt nearly enough.A lot of stuff we wish we could have back, Hill said. We have a ways to go as far as the running game, and it starts with me.NOT-SO-SWEET HOME: The Bengals host the Dolphins on Thursday night, although the home field hasnt been much of an advantage for them lately. They lost a first-round playoff game to Pittsburgh at Paul Brown Stadium last season, and now their season opener. Cincinnati is only 6-4 in its past 10 home games.---Online: AP NFL website www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
