The Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers trained on Thursday (4th February) ahead of Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, California.

Both the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers received boosts ahead of their Super Bowl showdown on Sunday.

The Panthers welcomed back three players to training on Thursday - with linebacker Thomas Davis, defensive end Jared Allen and fullback Mike Tolbert all making it through the session unscathed.

Meanwhile, the Broncos received the news that Antonio Smith will play in California on Sunday, despite the sad passing of his father.

With Super Bowl 50 just two days away both sides are stepping up their preparations and putting the finishing touches to their plays ahead of the clash in California.
