ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- A couple of fights broke out, the Broncos suffered another key injury and ongoing quarterback questions for Denver and the San Francisco 49ers marked the joint practice Wednesday ahead of the exhibition game Saturday night between the teams.Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe sustained a left ankle injury while pass rushing during 11-on-11 scrimmaging against the 49ers first-team offense.

Walker tore his right ACL during team drills when he became entangled with a pass blocker.The controlled scrimmaging between the teams, played out before a large crowd on hand for the last Broncos practice open to the public, included some heated moments between Denvers offensive units and the 49ers defensive units. Twice, the sides got into it, fighting and shoving and grabbing each other, though a combination of players and coaches from both teams quickly got the scrums under control.There were a couple of situations, Kubiak said. Its usually when they start talking too much. Thats what usually causes things, not so much the football.The fights notwithstanding, Kubiak said the joint practice was beneficial for both teams.Thats real football, what you saw today, he said.

Cornerback Lorenzo Doss intercepted a deflected pass by the 49ers Jeff Driskel, and cornerback Kayvon Webster made a diving interception along the sideline of Ponder.The Broncos quarterback competition among Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian and rookie Paxton Lynch remains unresolved though Kubiak has hinted a decision is coming soon. Whenever it happens, it wont be easy.Its a tough, tough decision for us, Kubiak said.
