The Broncos will be living dangerously on special teams this season with an inexperienced tandem handling the punting and kicking duties. Matt Prater, who has played in four career games and is 1-for-4 on field-goal attempts, will be the team’s kicker. The punting battle is between Sam Paulescu, who is the favorite to win the job even though he has played in just one NFL game, and undrafted rookie Brett Kern. Their lack of experience is striking, but the Broncos have resisted the urge to add a veteran who could compete for a job, and sources say they seem to have a lot of faith that Prater and Paulescu won’t become major headaches. Prater missed the last few sessions of offseason workouts with a sore groin, but he told sources that he made every field-goal kick during the live portions of practice while he was healthy. We hear the groin problem shouldn't linger into training camp.
