Broncos host Evergreen High football and flag football teams for practice

The Broncos on Tuesday hosted tackle and flag football players from Evergreen High in the aftermath of a shooting at the school that left two students critically injured.

The players practiced at the Broncos’ indoor facility and visited the headquarters on the NFL players’ off day after the Broncos returned from Indianapolis.

After practice, they heard from general manager George Paton and others.

Evergreen football coach Matt Van Praag posted a video to social media after the visit of kicker Karrik Boyle drilling a field goal at the Broncos’ indoor facility.

“Thank you to (the) Broncos for their hospitality as we’ve been displaced from our home field due to the tragic shooting at our school on 9/10/25,” Van Praag wrote. “Karrik Boyle stepped up to the challenge and drilled a FG to get the team out of extra conditioning. Never had a doubt.”

Evergreen High has been closed since Sept. 10, when a 16-year-old student shot and critically injured two students at the school. Jefferson County sheriff’s officials said the student then shot himself and later died at the hospital.

The school announced a phased reopening for this week, beginning with staff returning to the school Monday and eventually students beginning a partial return Thursday and Friday.

This story will be updated.
