Former Boston Bruins center Fred Stanfield has died. He was 77. Stanfield died Monday and the Bruins announced his death Tuesday. A cause of death was not given. Stanfield was the mild-mannered sidekick to Bobby Orr on the high-scoring teams of the early 1970s. The Toronto native played six seasons in Boston, helping the Bruins win the Stanley Cup in 1970 and 1972. Stanfield centered Boston’s second line between Johnny Bucyk and Johnny McKenzie and manned one of the points alongside Orr on the team’s proficient power play.

The Denver Broncos had an abundance of talent at two positions heading into the season. And already that depth at wide receiver and cornerback is being tested. Wide receiver Jerry Jeudy went on injured reserve Tuesday with a high right ankle sprain. He was joined by cornerback Ronald Darby with a pulled hamstring. Both got hurt in Denver’s season-opening win over the New York Giants at the Meadowlands. The Broncos promoted wide receiver Kendal Hinton and cornerback Nate Hairston to their 53-man roster to replace Jeudy and Darby.
