As if we haven't received enough bad news about the Denver Broncos lately, here's a lousy development of an entirely different (and much more serious) kind: Cornerback Perrish Cox has been arrested in Lone Tree on a sexual assault charge dating back to an incident in October. At this point, the Lone Tree PD is keeping a tight grasp on most of the details -- but here's the info personnel are releasing thus far, along with two angles on Cox from his booking photo. Lone Tree Police Department release:
