ENGLEWOOD, Colo. --For a second consecutive season, the Broncos will host another team for preseason practices.

This year, the San Francisco 49ers will arrive early in advance of their preseason game against the Broncos for two joint practices on Aug. 26 and 27 at the Broncos' Dove Valley complex.

The practices will not be open to the public, as they will take place after the official conclusion of training camp.

The recent facility expansion makes the Broncos ideal hosts for such work. The new Broncos Fieldhouse contains a locker room that can handle up to 90 players -- a standard preseason roster prior to the first cut to 75 -- as well as locker rooms for the coaching staff, treatment rooms, hot tubs and cold tubs.

Last year, the Houston Texans practiced with the Broncos at Dove Valley prior to their preseason game, resulting in the most spirited, intense work of the summer. The Dallas Cowboys also practiced with the Broncos at Dove Valley in 2008.
