Broncos QB Simms starts vs. Chargers (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Chris Simms is starting an NFL game for the first time since he was nearly killed in a game three years ago. The Denver Broncos' backup quarterback got to nod over hobbled starter Kyle Orton, whose sprained ankle kept him out of practice all week. Orton threw a few passes at Invesco Field this morning but after several minutes went back into the locker room.
