League's Injuries Piling Up As Broncos Get Healthy

I agree, as the NFL as a whole goes down, our boys are coming back, which gives our odds better chances.

I’ve never wished injury on anyone… but Phyllis Rivers would be great to be gone for the season!

Jenkins tore his ACL again? Damn. That guy may well be done.

Sanders might be done too- guy just can’t seem to stay healthy, what a shame. I wonder if his size made him more injury-prone, playing the position and way he does.

Thanks for the info.

We missed Ryan Harris severely Sunday as Clady had to take on 3 defenders at a time…This OLine has to step up this week and protect Kyle and give him more time, there is no excuse for the BS! A comment was made concerning McD berrating players on the sideline? Hey, if they need their asses chewed out then give it to them right there, these players should know the playbook inside and out by this time. There is no excuses! Just win the MF’n game and do your job! Oh…Yeah, injuries are a part of the wonderful sport we love and it is a blessing when plays come out of them unscaved sometimes with all of the hits they take…Go Broncos!

I was in the process of writing a fanpost about injuries (and absences) for all the teams we play.

Looks like we wont have to face:
1. Bob Sanders (Colts)
2. Ed Reed (Ravens)
3. Kris Jenkins (Jets)
4. Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeil (Dolts)

Feel free to add to the list.

“Offensive tackle Ryan Harris walked out of the locker room without wearing a protective boot on his injured left ankle. Harris is expected to be out one more week.”

Hard to piece a lot of info together, but doesn’t it have screws in there holding it together? Sounds like he’s still in a lot of pain. I wonder if the doc didn’t do the best job, and now its not quite healing right? I just hope they give it time. I’d rather he take this year off and be healthy for the long run, than rush back and risk making it worse…

And that he actually has some talent. Could Andy Reid be that blind or dumb?

Has a patchy OL right now just like we do. I am reading that Russell Okung may be out against Denver, and Max Unger sounds like a definite no go.

We may be seeing Tyler Polumbus and Ben Hamilton again, depending on who they decide to substitute. Hate to see guys go down but if the Hawks play without two key OL starters next week that changes things up a bit for us.

Where Denver is concerned, I really want to see Harris and Thomas get back in the mix. Sounds like Harris is on the mend; those ankle sprains are a bitch – but Thomas’ lingering pain is worrying. Then again, I was concerned that KnoMo’s injury was far worse than they’d advertised but he looked fairly good against Jacksonville.

I’d cross my fingers but I don’t want to risk an Upper Extremity Injury™.

Played in 7 games since 2007 (Thanks MaxDenver tweet!)

That’s crazy. Who else was so good in any sport, but hurt so often? Off the top of my head I remember that Paul Molitor was a constant injury waiting to happen until he got to later in his career when he only DH’d.

I sure hope that Harris is not following in Sanders’ footprints. Please get healthy.

With Elvis on IR, we already lost the injury battle for this season. Sounds like we are joined by the Colts, Jets, Green Bay and Philly in this L column.

injuries are part of the game as cliche as it sounds. Of course, the Broncos are picking up the pieces nicely and the Packers are lucky to have lots of weapons besides Ryan Grant. The Chargers are scum. I’d go talk junk at Bolts From the Blue but no one’s there

by then, injuries should have fully healed, the lines will be more cohesive, and our schedule looks like this: raiders, 49ers, bye week, chiefs, chargers, rams, chiefs, cardinals, raiders, texans, chargers. that is ALL our division games, and a pretty weak group compared to the 4 opponents after seattle. or last season, for that matter. we could take 7 of those last 10 and win the division at 10-6. that’s my plan, anyway…

Orton being sacked by the ankles, which as we know is his weak spot, sometime early in the second half, maybe? His play seemed to deteriorate after that hit, imho.
