ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos are content to wait for running backs Montee Ball and C.J. Anderson to heal. Coach John Fox said Saturday he doesnt plan to bring in any free agent running backs in light of Balls appendectomy or Andersons concussion. "We are always looking to improve the team. That goes on 24/7, 365, really, but right now there is nothing pressing," Fox said. "We feel pretty good about the group we have." That group includes just one back whos ever played in an NFL game, Ronnie Hillman, plus three undrafted free agents in Juwan Thompson, Brennan Clay and Kapri Bibbs and first-year pro Jerodis Williams, who played for Minnesota in last years preseason. Anderson, third on the depth chart, is being treated under the conditions of the NFLs concussion protocol after getting knocked from Denvers 21-16 win over Seattle on Thursday night. He was sent home from the Broncos complex Saturday. "He had little headaches, which is very normal at this stage," Fox said. Ball returned to the Broncos sideline five days after undergoing his appendectomy and said he was feeling good but didnt know when hed be back in full pads. Ball said he expects to begin running next week, although the Broncos dont plan on using him until the season opener Sept. 7 against Indianapolis. "We saw plenty of him a year ago and saw plenty of him in the off-season," Fox explained. Ball said he awoke at 2:30 a.m. Monday with a sharp pain in his right side. He was under the knife 12 hours later. He said hes lost six pounds, dropping to 209, but is starting to regain flexibility in his trunk. Ball called his operation a "quick, painless procedure," but said it "restricted a lot of my movement early on. I feel great now. Right now Im able to move around but Ill listen to the training staff and my body and Ill come back stronger." Ball said he felt fortunate the appendicitis announced itself now, before it could burst and before the Broncos get into games that count. "Obviously, its great that it happened now than in September. Very unfortunate situation for me but right now Im looking up and feeling great and I get to do some running next week," Ball said. The Broncos are counting on Ball, who ran for 559 yards and four touchdowns last year as Knowshon Morenos backup, to help them balance out their pass-heavy offence as the starter in 2014. Ball said he has no timetable for his return to full pads, saying, "Im just listening to my body and listening to our great training staff. ... No reason to rush." He added that he appreciated all the people that visited him in the hospital, including his position coach, Eric Studesville, and Broncos president and CEO Joe Ellis. Asked if Ellis brought him cards and candy, Ball said, "No, just some wise words that I needed to hear. He just said, Were praying for you, were all looking out for you if you need anything. Thats what helped me out a lot." Notes: WR Emmanuel Sanders (thigh) was held out of the morning practice. Sanders didnt practice Tuesday but started against Seattle, logging 20 snaps. ...

Konta became the first British woman to win the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford since Sue Barker in 1977, and now rises to a career-high No 14 in the world after the 7-5 5-7 6-2 victory against Venus Williams. Konta wins first WTA title Johanna Konta wins first WTA Tour title, beating Venus Williams in Stanford In June 2015 she was ranked 147th, but a dramatic improvement in form has seen her reach the semi-finals of Januarys Australia Open, and at Eastbourne in June. The 25-year-old turned in one of her best performances of a remarkable season against the Wimbledon semi-finalist and Cowan feels that Konta will now hope to impress at the US Open. Im so pleased that she put in a performance that she did to win her first title, said the Sky Sports tennis expert. I think its huge because I felt it was slightly disappointing at Wimbledon, not that she played badly, but I thought she was potentially in the mix to go really far.Her performance last week in beating Dominika Cibulkova and then Venus Williams, closing in on the top 10, shes now there or thereabouts.When you become an elite player, and Jo is that now, she would have felt being seeded in the top 16, that there was a real chance for her to go deep into the second week at Wimbledon. She lost to Eugenie Bouchard, who obviously wasnt the player she was, but who did play well, but you rebound back and shes absolutely done that in her first tournament back and now she can look forward tto the US Open.dddddddddddd.It all started at Flushing Meadows for Konta as her winning run of 16 matches was ended with defeat by fifth seed Petra Kvitova in the fourth round.She followed that up by making her first ever Grand Slam semi-final in Australia this year although she failed to make an impression at the French Open and at the All England Club this summer. I remember thinking when she had that great run at the US Open that it wasnt a flash in the pan, Cowan said. I thought that here was someone who wasnt one of those players where everything clicked for two weeks and the rest of the year she would struggle for results.Its obviously been a stepping stone and she continues to have great results and clearly has her head screwed on properly. Shes not getting ahead of herself.Apart from Serena Williams there is no one else who is locked in to make a semi-final or a final of a Grand Slam. Kontas remarkable rise We take an in-depth look at British sensation Johanna Konta I think Konta is there with all the others, she has a good a chance as anyone else, apart from Serena.I think shes definitely top 10.Check out daily Tennis news on skysports.com/tennis, our app for mobile devices and iPad and our Twitter account @skysportstennis.By purchasing a Sky Sports Day Pass for £6.99 or Sky Sports Week Pass for £10.99, you can enjoy access to all seven Sky Sports channels and watch on a TV with a NOW TV Box or on a range of devices.
