Raiders’ Asomugha to get tested by Broncos

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Oakland Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha is used to going long stretches of games without seeing any action. Denver won’t give him that luxury.

Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said Wednesday he’ll instruct quarterback Kyle Orton to be aware of where Asomugha is on the field but has no plans to completely avoid the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback.

If the Broncos follow through on their plans to go at Asomugha, they’ll be one of the few teams willing to take that chance.

Asomugha didn’t allow a single completion in Oakland’s first two games and has been getting only a handful of looks his direction in the four games since.
