Denver -- The Denver Broncos have fired Coach Josh McDaniels in the wake of an illegal taping scandal, the team's Web site reported Monday.
Broncos.com said team owner Pat Bowlen had relieved McDaniels of his duties after guiding the squad to a 3-9 record so far this season.
The move came after the Broncos lost Sunday for seventh time in eight games, 10-6 to the Kansas City Chiefs, and also follows an incident in which both McDaniels and the team paid $50,000 fines last month for the illegal taping of an opponent's practice.

Denver -- The NFL has fined Denver Broncos head Coach Josh McDaniels in connection with the illegal taping of an opponent's practice, multiple sources reported Saturday.
NFL.com, ESPN and The Denver Post reported McDaniels was fined $50,000 and the Broncos were also assessed a $50,000 penalty in the incident, for which McDaniels and Broncos President and CEO Pat Bowlen issued apologies Saturday.
Bowlen said the league found a Broncos employee had videotaped a portion of the San Francisco 49ers' Oct. 30 'walkthrough' practice at Wembley Stadium in London, a day before the two teams played each other there.
In his statement, McDaniels claimed he did not view the 6-minute tape.

Denver -- Denver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno will miss the team's next game with an undisclosed injury, coach Josh McDaniels said Friday.
McDaniels said Moreno, who missed the entire preseason with a pulled right hamstring, would be absent in the Broncos' game Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
"I'm telling you every team is dealing with" injuries, McDaniels told The Denver Post. The Colts "have more guys on their injury report than we do. That's why you have a roster full of players."
The newspaper, citing two NFL sources, said Moreno had suffered another hamstring pull, but this time to his left leg.

Atlanta -- Ex-Denver Broncos tight end Shannon Sharpe returned to CBS as a football analyst after a woman withdrew her petition for a protection order against him.
Michele Bundy, who requested the temporary restraining order against Sharpe after alleging he forced her to have sex with him and threatened her life, "voluntarily dismissed" the request, Fulton County (Ga.) Superior Court documents state.
Sharpe, a commentator for the CBS Sports pregame show "The NFL Today," said in a statement he "had every expectation that based on truth alone, these claims would never reach a court."

Denver -- The Denver Broncos obtained running back Laurence Maroney and a draft pick from the New England Patriots Tuesday, giving up a higher draft pick.
The Broncos will surrender a fourth-round 2011 draft pick in exchange for Maroney, while the Pats also gave up a sixth-round draft choice next season, The Denver Post reported.
Maroney, a first-round New England draft pick out of Minnesota, gained 757 yards and scored nine touchdowns last season for the Patriots, but was inactive for Sunday's season-opening 38-24 win over Cincinnati.
Maroney has racked up 2,430 yards with 21 rushing TDs on 582 carries in his four-year career with New England, adding 40 receptions for 409 yards and one score in 45 career games.

Denver -- Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall has inked his one-year contract tender for the 2010 season, the team said Tuesday.
Marshall, a restricted free agent following the 2009 season, was tendered with a first-round draft pick on March 3.
Observers say it's likely the Broncos will try to trade Marshall after he alienated the team with a series of contentious statements, including a demand to be dealt, before the start of last season.
Despite the tensions, Marshall posted his third straight 100-catch, 1,000-yard season, logging a career-best 10 touchdown receptions.

Denver -- Denver Broncos Coach Josh McDaniels says the NFL team is not trying to trade suspended wide receiver Brandon Marshall.
The Broncos suspended Marshall last Friday for detrimental insubordinate actions during a team practice before a pre-season contest against the Chicago Bears.
It followed his acquittal earlier the same day on domestic violence charges against ex-girlfriend, Rasheedah Watley.
"We're looking forward to having Brandon back on Sept. 6 and starting our preparations for Cincinnati with him," McDaniels told reporters Wednesday.
"There's no discussions whatsoever taking place between the Denver Broncos and any team in the NFL regarding Brandon Marshall."

Englewood, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos said Friday that wide receiver Brandon Marshall was suspended from the team.
The one-sentence statement on the team's Web site said the disciplinary action was taken "for conduct detrimental to the club."
The length of the suspension was not announced but the Denver Post said it could extend into the regular season, which would cost Marshall some of his salary.
Marshall was videotaped Wednesday kicking away a football rather than giving it to a ball boy, as it team policy. The Post also Marshall was "lackadaisical" during drills and didn't run routes when other receivers ran them. He also reportedly wasn't at Thursday's workout.
