Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:03:33 GMT

Denver’s veteran players report to training camp Tuesday and the first of 12 open practices is Friday.The roster will be sliced and diced and analyzed in all sorts of ways between now and the cutdown from 90 players to 53 on Aug. 29.Today, a look at five Broncos facing a career crossroads in 2023.QB Russell WilsonThe veteran quarterback can’t be left off this list. Wilson turned in the worst season of his career in 2022 and has no lack of doubters entering 2023. He’ll turn 35 in October and is playing under a new coach for the second straight season since being traded to Denver in March 2022.

Opinion: To reduce mental health stigmas, judge talks openly about his anxiety

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:03:33 GMT

Judges have the fourth-most stressful job in the country, according to a ranking by the The Occupational Information Network. There’s a reason for that, and it’s got a lot to do with a relatively unknown aspect of the job: the secondary (or bystander) trauma trial court judges experience daily.Therapists and physicians I’ve spoken to say this is one of the major hazards of the job. If you’re wondering why I have spoken to therapists and physicians about judges and stress, well it’s because I experience bystander trauma firsthand. I’ve also been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder that multiplies the stress of being a judge.Consider how secondary trauma might come up for a first responder.
