Circle the date, Broncos faithful. Fans will get their first glimpse of Peyton Manning and the Broncos with the first open practice at Dove Valley from 8:50 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 25.

Coming off a 13-3 record that made them the top seed in the AFC in last season’s playoffs, Denver will be a favorite to repeat that and go further this season. The Broncos lost in the divisional round of the playoffs to eventual Super Bowl champion Baltimore.

The team will hold an open practice at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Saturday, Aug. 3.
