Wow! That's a good looking injury report

I’m looking forward to see Larsen’s new role, but Buck’s a great sign and I think Jordan’s absence could be fairly easily overcome.

Oh, and I guess he's not injured anyway =)

Jordon was last seen in San Diego.

Sporting a “borrowed” Chargers jersey and a good camera-phone…

Nah. Why bother? Even last year’s Broncos could probably beat this edition of the Chargers.

Hmmm, if Jordan stays out……maybe we’ll see Hillis finally toting the rock? Depending on C-Bucks health, of course.

Hmmmm……..

Jordan

was “not injury related”. I don’t think anything is wrong with him, either veteran rest or something else.

Good to see B-Dawk, Hamilton, Smith all coming off the list.

I know...

…..I’m just wishing, is all. Now, I’m not wishing any ill will towards Jordan. I just think Hillis should be in his spot, that’s all.

If Buck plays

his spot is just running out the clock in the 4th quarter. He’s been so fumble free that I’d probably prefer that job fall to him anyways.

Wow

Looks like the bye is coming too early. This is one clean injury report. Three cheers for physical practice and good conditioning.

Ill 2nd all of that

Very nice to see Buck participating fully, hope he’s 100% for the game.

The one-two punch of Buck and Moreno is a thing of beauty.

Whether Buck plays or not

the dolts have to prep for him and Moreno. Not fun when you are already weak against the run.

Wow, I love seeing very few names on the broncos injury report.

One was full participation and one was not injury related. That leaves ONE injury. That is awesome.

Me too.

Buckhalter is back to full practice so hopefully he’ll be good to go Monday for a sweet 1-2 punch with Moreno.

I don’t know why, but I have a feeling Hillis is going to suprise SD this week.

Okay, can we talk about Larsen though?

I mean, what the ef happened in that shower? He’s been out 6 weeks!

So true!

Maybe if it was a knee or an ankle I could see it, but a shoulder? What the hell was he doing in there to jack up his shoulder so bad?

by Alex on Oct 15, 2009 9:19 PM MDT up reply actions

Maybe he tried to catch himself on the wall and his shoulder popped or something.

Buck fully participating! Jordan is not listed as injured, so I assume he will play. I think Larsen won’t make it for this game. Also good to see that Alphonso Smith is not making the list. He was limited in action for the NE game so I am hoping he will be full speed for SD. As good as Jack Williams has been playing, Alphonso is a special player. Also good to see that Ben Hamilton and Ryan Harris are not listed this week.

I am hoping that Hillis is fully recovered now from his concussion and can concentrate on his job again. He is a very special player on this team. I hope that is not “was a special player.”

I'd sure like to see some Hillis busting up a Merriman.

And Phillips.

Playing Hardball

I hadn’t thought about that before. It is a bit of a nasty tactic but it’s just disgusting how effective it would be to unleash Hillis on SD’s already injury plagued front 7. And AFTER the bye week too. Complex playbook or no, Hillis is definitely able to bruise up the gut and that’s the one thing SD has night terrors about.
