Demaryius Thomas' mother scheduled to be released from halfway house, could see Broncos play soon

Demaryius Thomas could soon have his greatest fan watching him from the stands of Sports Authority Field.

Thomas' mother, Katina Stuckey Smith, 43, was scheduled to be released Tuesday after spending more than three months in a Georgia halfway house.

Convicted in 2000 for running a cocaine ring with Thomas' grandmother, Minnie Pearl Thomas, in Georgia, Smith was one of 46 nonviolent drug offenders whose sentences were commuted by President Barack Obama in mid-July.

Smith originally was scheduled to get out of prison June 25, 2017, but her early release means she could soon see her son play football live, something she's yet to do since he took up the sport.
