Denver Broncos coach Dan Reeves says of the two United States Football League players whose rights are owned by Denver, defensive end Freddie Gilbert would stand the best chance of playing immediately. "He's a pass-rush guy, or at least he was coming out of college (Georgia). Those guys can play right away while they're learning," Reeves said. Gilbert played for the USFL's New Jersey Generals.

The other USFL player, offensive lineman Reggie Smith of the Tampa Bay Bandits, would not be ready to step into the lineup, Reeves said. If the Broncos were able to sign him, it would be for next season, Reeves said.

As a rookie, Davis bragged he would make the Pro Bowl, instead he lost his starting job after giving up four touchdowns in one game. a showcase for Walter Brister, considered their quarterback of the future. It will be Blister's first NFL action. Detroit's quarterback of the future, Chuck Long, is one of a half-dozen first-round picks still unsigned. Eric Hippie, recovered from a sore shoulder, is expected to start again for Detroit.

Dave Krieg, who sat out last week's 21-14 victory over Indianapolis, will be at quarterback for Seattle. night's exhibition game in Los Angeles against the Raiders. Schramm said he can remember grumbling among the Cowboys' players when Dorsett was signed in .1977. "It's just a historic thing," Schramm said. "Tony came in as the Heisman Trophy winner out of Pittsburgh and got a big salary and some of the veterans started grumbling.

It happens every year with No. 1 draft choices. It's a fact of the game." Walker, 24, the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner, set a professional football rushing record for one season with 2,411 yards for the USFL New Jersey Generals in 1985. Quarterback Joe Montana of the San Francisco 49ers is believed to be the highest paid player in the NFL at an estimated $1.3 million a year. Quarterback John Elway signed a five-year contract with the Denver Broncos for $5 million.

Walker has yet to comment on Dorsett's remarks but said earlier he had a lot of respect for Dorsett. "It would be an honor to play with him because Tony has a lot of class," Walker said. "Just look at what he has accomplished. I've always admired Tony. We're not going to have any problems.

We both want to win." Angeles Rams Monday night. Cleveland is coming off a 19-17 victory over Buffalo in its first preseason game. The Dolphins' first game was a 30-16 loss to Minnesota that Dan Marino watched from the sidelines while Don Strock and Jim Jensen split the quarterbacking. "You have a tough time trying to find something good out of that game," said Miami coach Don Shula. But he acknowledged that on this occasion, winning isn't the only thing.

"What we want to accomplish in the preseason, especially in the first two games, is to find out about our young people, to give the veterans enough time to have them ready for the regular he said. With the rosters due to be reduced to 60 players next Tuesday, the Redskins and Steelers also are interested in working out some of their younger players. Pittsburgh has 88 players on its roster and Washington has 92. "We'll work our veterans first, then look at the younger guys because we've got some major decisions to make," said Washington coach Joe Gibbs, whose team lost to New England 18-7 last week. The Steelers, 30-13 losers to Chicago last week, will use the game as Cowboys' Tony Dorsett "Gone behind closed doors" because I'll be very unhappy I can be a very disruptive force," said Dorsett.

"I don't want to be here. When you pay a guy more than me, you've told me he's your back. I'm not second fiddle to anyone."
