ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- DeMarcus Ware tweeted thanks for the well wishes Monday and said he couldnt wait to get back out there with my guys following surgery on his broken right forearm.Denvers defensive captain will have a plate inserted into his arm Tuesday that will aid in the healing of the ulna bone, which broke when he slammed it into Von Millers right knee while they were trying to corral Colts quarterback Andrew Luck.Hes expected to miss four to five weeks.We know were going to get him back, coach Gary Kubiak said Monday. So, thats very encouraging.His teammates also took the silver-lining view of the 34-year-old pass rushers latest injury.As long as hes there in the end, man, thats when were going to need him, cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. I mean of course, its going to make it harder for us to continue to dominate like we are on the edges, but at the end as long as weve got him coming at 100 percent at the end of the season, thats the main thing.The Broncos (2-0), who visit Cincinnati (1-1) on Sunday, saw just how effective and disruptive a healthy Ware could be in the playoffs nine months ago.After missing five games in 2015 with a bad back and easing his way into shape over the final month of the regular season, Ware collected a dozen quarterback hits , 3+ sacks, four tackles for loss and recovered a fumble.Thats why the Broncos kept Ware off the field for most of the teams offseason program, in hopes hed stay healthy and have that kind of impact all season. The plan was working wonderfully through six quarters as Ware had two sacks, a tackle for loss and three more quarterback hits after transitioning to a situational pass rusher behind second-year pro Shane Ray.Then, on the third snap of the second half Sunday against Indianapolis, Ware collided with Miller and broke his right ulna, one of two bones in the forearm.The Broncos know theyll miss Ware when they face the Bengals, Buccaneers, Falcons and Chargers over the next month, but Miller said maybe this will be good for his back, which is still bugging Ware. Harris reiterated the bigger picture is having a healthy Ware later on.Being able to have that extra anchor, that extra rusher that they fear out there, I mean, that definitely changes things, Harris said. But Shaq (Barrett) and Shane, they came in and played great. Dekoda (Watson), he played great in the preseason. So, its a good time to get those guys some more experience, and the key is to have D-Ware in the end.We want D-Ware in the playoffs coming 100 mph off the edge, rolling at the end of the season.The Broncos figure theyre also better able to withstand Wares absence this time. Ray and Barrett got almost all the snaps with the starters in the offseason while Miller was involved in a contract dispute and Ware was held out of all but the final few days of training camp.Ray scooped up the loose ball when Miller stripped Luck in the closing minutes Sunday and returned it 15 yards for his first career touchdown, one that sealed a href(equals)Millers%20sack-strip%20leads%20Broncos%20past%20Colts%2034-20Denvers 34-20/a.While the Broncos feel good about their depth and preparation at pass rusher, things get trickier on offense, where tight end Virgil Green and right tackle Donald Stephenson strained calves Sunday. Kubiak said Green is day to day, but Stephenson will miss at least the Bengals game.Its not bad at all, Stephenson said, noting a similar injury in training camp only sidelined him a week. But you dont want to rush back with it because it can be something that stays with you.The absences of Green and Stephenson were felt on offense as the Broncos kept stalling inside the Colts 35-yard line and allowed defenders to slice through and hit their running backs in the backfield.Veteran John Phillips replaced Green on Sunday and Kubiak said second-year pro Jeff Heuerman is ready to make his NFL debut at Cincinnati if need be. Heuerman missed all of last season with a knee injury.When Donaldson went out, the Broncos slid Michael Schofield from right guard to right tackle and inserted Darrion Weems into the lineup.Another option is Ty Sambrailo, who missed most of training camp with a hyperextended right elbow but is ready to return to action.Kubiak also said he hopes to have wide receiver Bennie Fowler (right elbow) available Sunday.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton .

LOUIS -- St. Pakistans inconsistency in selection has seen them run through many players in the last few years, and openers have been a particular problem.All the more reason to sit up and take notice, then, when 20-year-old Sami Aslam made a impactful debut, replacing Shan Masood in the opening slot at Edgbaston, scoring 82 and 70. It was possibly the only positive from the match for Pakistan, who lost by 141 runs.Sami came up in cricket in the years when the international game had departed the country. He did not watch any of his cricket heroes live, nor did he see any major international side visit Pakistan. Still, cricket was a vital part of his life. He was one of the finds of the PCBs Hunt for Heroes tournament in 2009, where he was the fourth leading run getter, with 333 runs at 66.60. Since then he has made sure to remain in contention as he progressed up the levels. You can follow my career from Under-16, my performances have been extraordinary, he says.He was prolific at the U-19 level and is currently the second highest run scorer in U-19 ODI history with 1695 runs (and the most hundreds, six). He is also the third fastest in the world to get to 2000 List A runs. He was captain of the Pakistan U-19 side when they toured England in 2013, and made two centuries in the tri-series then, including 110 in the final against England, before catching the eye with another hundred in a victory over India in the 2013-14 U-19 Asia Cup.Sami studied at one of the best schools in Lahore, Crescent Model School in Shadman, and then at the prestigious 152-year-old Government College University in downtown Lahore, where he studied general science, maths, statistics and economics. During his time at college, he made steps towards taking up cricket full time. I didnt go beyond my intermediate degree because of cricket, he says, but I have all the basic education, which makes me a better and confident person.He started playing serious cricket at Punjab Cricket Club near Mozang, and spent four years there before moving to Ali Gharh Cricket Club in Model Town after his father had differences with the organisers at PCC.Aslam Sr, who works for State Bank, has been a major driving force in Samis cricket career, escorting him to grounds and generally being his biggest supporter. Samis standout characteristics have been his solid temperament, a calmness remarkable in one so young, and the value he places on his wicket. He attributes them to his education, and the influence of his father as he grew up.His ability to leave the ball caught attention at Edgbaston, and his judgement in picking the right ball to hit has been astute. Add focus and temperament to that and you have the makings of a fine opener.I am by nature very polite, and this calmness came from my education, Sami says. My father has kept me protected. He ensured that I am not distracted, and he made sure I remained within the right company and with good friends around. He always kept an eye on my social circle, and probably that might have been annoying at some stage, but this eventually helped me.His international debut wasnt quite in keeping with his feats at U-19 level. In his first two Tests, against Bangladesh last year, Sami made just 47 runs in three innings, though in his 31 first-class matches he has scored as many hundreds (six) as he has fifties, which indicates a hunger to convert starts.My debut last year in Bangladesh wasnt really a reflection of what I am as a player, he says. I was unlucky in Khulna and later my morale was crushed badly when I was dropped. I was dropped without a sufficient opportunity and it really hurt. As a player, when you come up to the top level after years of hard work, you shouldnt be judged merely on the basis of one or two innings.I then returned to domestic cricket and scored ample runs, including a double-hundred in Lahore, to be in contention. So things have always been improving and this process never stopped. Opportunity eventually came back to me again, and we both knew why you are interviewing me - its because I have done something big, which now everyone is acknowledging.For this England tour, Sami was picked as a back-up opener..dddddddddddd I wasnt really sure if I would get a game, he says. But I was mentally ready and kept my work ethics as if I was playing in the game, because I didnt want to be complacent.I remember we landed here in Hampshire on June 18 and since than I dont think I have missed any training. It was always important for me to be ready all the time, and I kept myself backing throughout. I was working with Grant Flower in the nets, knocking the ball, absorbing the conditions and understanding everything within the dressing room and how things work around at this level.Pakistan have struggled to find an assured opener since Saeed Anwar - Mohammad Hafeezs 50 Test matches notwithstanding. The selectors have never quite managed to gather enough patience to allow any young batsman to settle into the role, but Sami believes he is here to stay, and thinks this tour is his breakthrough. I feel I have a chance to chip in, he says.His credentials for the position are strong. He notably has not had issues with discipline at the domestic level, and his progress from club cricket to date has been down to performance.I am not thinking very far from here and I dont think that I have proved anything yet, he says. No, its a long way to go but one thing what I have proved so far is that I have the skills to sustain at this level of cricket, regardless of the conditions. I have played a lot of cricket before making my way to Test cricket, and this England tour has actually helped me a lot to convince the selectors and fans in Pakistan - otherwise everyone is cynical about everything here. You really have got to give your heart, as there is no room for failure, because you never know if you will ever get a chance again.We grew up with a perception that if a player can score away from home, especially in England, Australia and South Africa, then he is recognised as an accomplished player. I wont say that I have achieved everything, because its just one match. But one thing I feel proud about is that my base has been set. I will be a talking point as the guy who scored runs in England in his very first match, and this is what keeps you motivated. I have showcased my talent and everyone saw me batting. Probably I am the answer for every unanswered question for Pakistans opening slot. I know after this everyone will start expecting a lot from me, and that will be another challenge because one failure and you are gone. People talk about inconsistency and we do have a culture of being inconsistent. This is only because there is always a fear of failure. Young players are not given ample opportunities to prove themselves. If you see [James] Vince as an example, he might have failed in the last 12, 13 innings, but still England are backing him and giving him a chance to get confidence. So this is the kind of support a young player needs and this will also allow us to play with freedom. So these innings I played were very important for my career to go ahead, and it was a perfect start.Sami is the youngest in this Pakistan dressing room. He was shy about talking to anyone until Sarfraz Ahmed and later Asad Shafiq struck up a rapport with him. Safi has been very supportive, he says. Otherwise I had hardly anyone to talk to. I was nervous with Misbah and Younis Khan around - they are very senior players and I dont know how and what to talk with them. I found a really good friend in Asad Shafiq as well.He says he has not had a cricket hero. I actually never gave a thought about it - who to follow or take inspiration from. But there are few I want to follow their characteristics, like [Virat] Kohlis consistency. Consistency is a missing factor in the top order and I want to make sure that I will be consistent, he says.I enjoy watching Suresh Raina, but the players I want to follow are Virat Kohli and [Joe] Root. Why? Because they are consistent, they score in eight innings out of ten. That is the part missing from the Pakistan team. I want to be more consistent, and that is the main thing I feel I should be working on. ' ' '
