DENVER -- Christian Ponder ran for a score and threw for another in the fourth quarter and San Francisco pulled away to beat the Denver Broncos 31-24 in an exhibition Saturday night. C. J. Beathard Jersey .Ponder was signed earlier in the week to bolster the teams depth at quarterback.Blaine Gabbert, trying to solidify his hold on the starting quarterback job in Colin Kaepernicks absence, led a scoring drive and finished 6 of 9 for 69 yards in roughly a quarter and a half of play.Kaepernick, who missed the first exhibition because of a sore right shoulder, resumed throwing in practice Thursday and is expected to begin fully participating in workouts next week in hopes of playing Friday against Green Bay.Ponder, who was out of football last season, was added by the 49ers (1-1) after backup quarterback Thad Lewis suffered a season-ending knee injury in their exhibition opener against Houston last week. Ponder scored on a 22-yard bootleg and then completed a 30-yard touchdown pass to Dres Anderson.The Broncos (1-1), also in search of a quarterback after the retirement of Peyton Manning and free agency departure of Brock Osweiler, did not get a decisive performance from their contenders.Trevor Siemian led a nifty game-opening touchdown drive that C.J. Anderson finished with a 19-yard run, but he also was picked off by Eric Reid, who returned the interception 42 yards for the score. Reid easily eluded Siemians attempt to tackle him near the goal line. Siemian was 10 of 14 for 75 yards.Mark Sanchez, who started the Broncos exhibition opener last week, relieved Siemian and led a drive ending in a field goal but struggled overall, with three sacks and fumbling twice. He completed 10 of 17 for 120 yards and just missed having one of his throws intercepted by cornerback Chris Davis.Paxton Lynch, the Broncos first-round draft pick, was the most productive among the three though he has primarily gotten third-team reps in training camp.He threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to John Phillips late in the third quarter and another covering 4 yards to Durron Neal in the waning minutes. His final pass was intercepted in the last moments by cornerback Kenneth Acker.QUOTABLEI squandered a great opportunity to separate myself and put the team in a bad situation. No excuse for that. Poor, poor quarterbacking play. -- Sanchez on his fumbles on consecutive second-quarter possessions.I think we improved in the offense as a whole. We got the ball in the end zone. We could always start faster, but just getting into the flow of the offense kind of playing more this week we see how things kind of work. -- Gabbert on his play and the performance of the offense as a whole.MAKING PROGRESSKaepernick went through his pregame passing routine in anticipation of participating fully in practices next week ahead of Fridays exhibition against Green Bay. The biggest thing is seeing how he responds in terms of if there are any residual effects (from his pregame throwing session) and see how he feels in the morning and see how hes progressing, coach Chip Kelly said.ROOKIE WATCH49ers: WR Bryce Treggs, an undrafted free agent out of Cal, caught a 25-yard pass from fellow rookie Jeff Driskel to help set up a second-quarter field goal. Treggs later left the game with a knee injury. WR Devon Cajuste, an undrafted free agent from Stanford, caught a 40-yard pass from Driskel in the third quarter.Broncos: FB Andy Janovich, a sixth-round pick out of Nebraska, helped clear the way on Andersons first-quarter touchdown run by picking off a 49ers defender with his lead block on the play.POSITION BATTLES49ers: RB Mike Davis, in the mix for the right to back up starter Carlos Hyde, ran five times for 26 yards but also had two fumbles. ... RB DuJuan Harris, also competing for a backup spot, appeared headed for the end zone late in the third quarter, but fumbled at the 1 and the ball was recovered in the end zone by the Broncos for a touchback.Broncos: Rookie RB Devontae Booker, competing with Ronnie Hillman to be the primary backup to starter C.J. Anderson, ran nine times for 36 yards and also provided solid pass protection when asked to stay in and block on passing plays. Zaire Anderson, looking to add depth at inside linebacker and contribute on special teams, forced two fumbles.INJURY UPDATE49ers: LB Nick Bellore was sidelined by a knee injury in the third quarter. ... DT Tony Jerod-Eddie was sidelined in the first half with a chest injury. ... LB Eli Harold left late in the second quarter after hitting the ground hard at the bottom of a pileup. No announcement was made on the nature of his injury. ... WR Bruce Ellington did not play because of an ankle injury. ... DT DeForest Buckner, the first of the 49ers two first-round picks, was held out with a lower-body injury.Broncos: T Darrion Weems left the game early in the second quarter with a concussion. ... LB Corey Nelson left midway through the second quarter with a wrist injury. ... DE Vance Walker, who tore his right ACL during a training camp practice earlier in the week, has been placed on season-ending injured reserve. ... OLB DeMarcus Ware, continuing his recovery from back problems, missed a second exhibition game, but could begin practicing with the team as soon as next week.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Reuben Foster 49ers Jersey . The deal is pending a physical, assistant general manager Bobby Evans said. Traded from Seattle to Baltimore on Aug. 30, Morse also can play first base and right field to give manager Bruce Bochy some flexibility in writing his lineup. Reuben Foster Youth Jersey . The Celtics closed out their first preseason under Stevens on Wednesday night with a 101-97 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, who rested a lot of their lineup including former Celtics Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. http://www.thenflsf49ersfanatic.com/c-77-49ers-ahkello-witherspoon-jersey.aspx .875,000, avoiding arbitration. Clippards deal Monday means all eight Nationals players who filed for arbitration wound up settling before a hearing.Colin Montgomerie believes Danny Willetts Masters victory wont be his last major title, while he feels Jordan Spieth could be haunted by his back-nine collapse. You saw Willett smiling and accepting what was going on out there and he was the only one that was accepting what was going on really.He was the worlds No 1 amateur, won European Tour events and then came third in the WGC events at Doral, so he has been building up to something very special. This is very special indeed. Willett carded a bogey-free 67 on Sunday To play a bogey-free round on Sunday with five birdies and no bogeys is exceptional golf. I really do feel like theres more to come from Danny Willett and we certainly havent heard the last of him, thats for sure.I played a few rounds with Danny towards the end of my European Tour career and there was always huge ability and talent there. He did always believe he was going to succeed.I believe what was very important on Sunday though was that he was playing with Lee Westwood and Billy Foster. He felt comfortable in that group with them and playing with them, so it was like a European Tour event in a way. He wasnt playing with a no-name American that he might have felt uncomfortable with. I think this will be very difficult for Spieth to accept and to take forward. Colin Montgomerie It wasnt just the tee shot at 16 that helped him secure victory, but it was the putt to follow that was special.. Solomon Thomas Youth Jersey. A lot of people missed that, but he banged it in there straight.Then at 17 he was out of position after the second shot, but what a chip shot that followed. Viewers watching on Sky Sports would have had no idea how difficult that was, so thats why Billy gave him the thumbs up and all credit to him.Thats the sort of day they were having together, they were egging each other on which was super for both of them. Hes going to go to the US Open now full of confidence. Spieth presented Willett the Green Jacket Its very easy to say when people win their first major that theyre going to win more and more, but I really do think he is because of his attitude as well.SPIETH WOESYou can talk about Rorys back nine here, and then how the very next major he went and won at Congressional for the US Open, but I think this will be very difficult for Spieth to accept and to take forward.To fly in the coach showed signs of panic and you could see all week there was edginess about him.He was shouting at the ball and talking to the ball, but the problem was that everything was going right. The bogey on 10 was because he was right, the bogey on 11 was because he was right and then the quadruple bogey at 12 he was right again.Ive had it a few times where you have either thrown it away or people have beaten you and it is difficult to accept. Will it affect him going forward? It will be interesting to see.  Also See: Masters day four in quotes Things to know about Willett Willett wins Masters title Golf live on Sky Sports 4 Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
