Knowshon Moreno To Injured Reserve With Torn ACL; Willis McGahee 'Day-to-Day'

Knowshon Moreno's injury-plagued career has taken another turn - this time to the Injured Reserve list. The Broncos running back tore the ACL in his knee during yesterday's 17-10 win over the Kansas City Chiefs and will require surgery.
Broncos head coach John Fox made the announcement during his weekly press conference earlier on Monday.
"I feel for him," said Fox. "He battled and was having a really, really good day. It's unfortunate.I feel for him. He battled .... and was having a really, really good day. It's unfortunate."
The Broncos will likely bring running back Jeremiah Johnson up from the practice squad to take Moreno's spot on the roster, especially considering the Broncos have a short week to prepare for Thursday night's home game against the New York Jets.
Fox also gave an update on the team's other injured running back, calling Willis McGahee 'day-to-day' with a hamstring injury he suffered in the 1st quarter against the Chiefs. The Broncos will return to the practice field on Tuesday.

Awful News
I feel terrible for Knowshon. He was on his way to having another dominant performance against the Chiefs—the one team he seems to destroy. He seemed to be over his hamstring injury only to incur a worse injury. Such is life in the NFL.
I think the Broncos need to do more than promote Jeremiah Johnson. I think signing a veteran back is paramount—especially in light of McGahee’s hamstring injury, and how much Denver runs the ball every game.
Correll Buckhalter
I know he is 32, but he played very well for the Broncos down the stretch in 2010, and developed great rapport with Tebow—especially on screen plays, check downs, and other passes out of the backfield. Those are throws we have to start incorporating and making in this offense with Tebow at the helms.

No thanks. Thats another injury waiting to happen.
..We're 3-13 till we're not!
They say the cool is all over me..
Buckhalter has shaky hands
especially at the start of the year..
it was surreal to see a RB drop
so many passes
Nah, last year Correll proved he was done.

The way he runs, so spastic with arms and legs everywhere...
… I wonder if he leaves himself more open to injury. For instance on the run he was injured on, his legs were splayed like a frog in a biology class right before he got hit. Just wonder if that has anything to do with his “injury bug”.
Maya: "What are your first impressions of Denver?"
Mozgov: "I must break you..."
Injury Prone, But
He had about five guys fall on his knee at a very odd angle yesterday. I thought Moreno’s four carries yesterday were some of his most fluid, best running-form of the season.
especially that one where he hurdled a defender
that was a thing of beauty!
If the Jets have a fourth and a foot situation, Rex will probably go for it
see replay
I thought he got hit from behind by his own player. I agree that he needs to do a better job of protecting himself but that doesn’t necessarily explain this injury. My impression is that part of the injury-prone reputation is urban legend. We’ve yet to come up with science-based criteria for distinguishing bad luck from a real medical condition that is “injury prone.” I’m open to explanations based on biological science but I’m also wary of “because McDaniels drafted him” opinions, which clearly exist.
******* George Santayana described fanaticism as -- "redoubling your effort after you've forgotten your aim"
what a bummer KM can't catch a break...
the injury bug seems to really have his number, good luck, and heres to hoping that we can bring someone in that can keep the running game rolling
Jeremiah Johnson
release Dante Rosario to make room?

No Need Unless Denver Signs Two RBs to the Active Roster
Moreno is going to IR, that frees a spot for Johnson without needing to release Rosario or any player for that matter.
Jeremiah Johnson has just been activated
to the active roster, I like it!

That is good
I think Lance Ball can easily be no 2 instead of Moreno and we get to see what Johnson can do. The big concern is if McGahee can be healthy for the game on Thursday.
Let us hope so!

Right now Lance is the more natural runner
compared to KM, but does not have KMs hands. We are not much worse off, if any, with that change.

Horrible timing for the young man
Knowshon was quickly having the best game of his young career, and I even imagine a few screen passes going his way (he’s the best on our team at this) for chunk yardage / TD’s late in that game.
I would normally say that this was the end of the Moreno experiment in Denver, but I’ve heard Coach Fox talk about him, and he seems to love him. If Knowshon can 100% recover, and play a full offseason, preseason, and regular season, then I say keep him. I also won’t be mad if we draft Trent “the Beast” Richardson either though, in that case, I still say we keep Knowshon.

I’m not sure Trent Richardson will be available

I think we should go after one of these guys in the draft
Isaiah Pead, RB, Cincinnati
Vick Ballard, RB, Mississippi St
They should be there in the 4th round

Mario Fannin is on IR for us as well right
if not there’s him as well.
I feel for terrible for Moreno. The look he had on his face sitting on the bench after the injury nearly broke my heart and told me he would be gone for awhile. It sucks even worse because while he has been injury prone this injury had nothing to that. It was just a freak accident where someone landed on his leg wrong causing it to bend a way it shouldn’t.
And now for something completely different
Sadness
Man, I feel so bad for Knowshon Moreno. Another year, another injury, just as he starts to look good again. Has to be awful feeling. I really feel for him, I do. It’s frustrating for us because he’s so injury prone but just imagine if it this kept happening to you. I’m with Alberta, I just felt awful when I saw that look on his face.
In the short term, I hope McGahee can go on Thursday. I also really like Jeremiah Johnson as someone to give a shot to.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
This is Johnson's big chance
You dont think he’s going to blow it .

I agree on bringing up JJ!
Help me out, was he sent down to the practice squad for…..?
poor blocker? Catching ability under par? Like bfaninphilly, I agree, he’s got a big chance here…….needs to be given that chance!
I think
he went to the PS because we had no room for him but did not want to release him. In other words, he was put there for this reason!
Go Broncos!
Matt Cassel
May also be headed to IR with a significant hand injury. The Chiefs are going to struggle to win another game the rest of the season with or without Cassel. Their schedule is murderous. Hopefully, that means the Chiefs finish last, that way we won’t have to play the Colts next season with Manning back or against Andrew Luck.
umm
id rather the colts get luck than anyone in our division….
don't think RSH was implying they'd get Luck
He was implying the Colts will have him – and I have to agree
If the Jets have a fourth and a foot situation, Rex will probably go for it

It is hard to evaluate one's own coach, Cavey
It took me a long time to get a more accurate read on McD than I had at first impression. Now I have to watch out for swinging too far the other way. Time is the only thing that will help clarify this. I have to admit, though, even MSM has not said as much about Haley as they did McD.
ugh
I’m not going to bury Moreno over this. The kid is young and I think he still has a lot of potential football in him if he can get through this injury. Get well soon Knowshon, and have a good offseason. Hope to see you back with the team next season.
Has Clinton Portis found a job yet?
He’s defenetly not a #1 anymore but hes been rested now so maybe he’ll be a good #2 or #3 in a system like ours where everyone gets a touch. Just for a year. I wouldnt want his shenanigans for more than 6-7 games

As hard as he’s worked, and as hard as he ran when he played, I feel terrible for him. The guy does everything right, and still can’t catch a break. Here’s to hoping Knowshon gets one more chance to prove himself next year. He deserves it.

he will - most of his contract was paid up front
but that’s all he’ll get – one more chance
If the Jets have a fourth and a foot situation, Rex will probably go for it
I think he's gone if they draft a guy like Richardson
And that’s what I’m worried about. If he ever gets the chance to stay completely healthy, he’s got the talent to be a great RB. I just hope it happens while he’s still in Denver.
by jbbroncosfan27 on Nov 14, 2011 1:45 PM MST via mobile up reply actions
eh, Ball will be gone first
Moreno will be regulated to #3. Like I said, most of his contract was paid up front.
I’d be okay with drafting Richardson, although I still believe we need more help on defense before working on offense. Running backs are a dime a dozen.
If the Jets have a fourth and a foot situation, Rex will probably go for it
I agree. I definitely wouldn’t be upset if we drafted Richardson, but I think we have more pressing needs right now, especially in the secondary.

The broncos could live with getting a CB in the second round.
The CB depth this year is much like the DT depth last year. Plus Richardson would give the broncos a homerun threat for once.

Too bad. I had high hopes for Moreno to break out this year. I hope he can recover well and come back next season. Even if he does get back to 100%, I think we draft a RB next draft. I hope they take a good look at David Wilson out of Virginia Tech. He runs with a purpose.

At least now that portion of the misery and divisiveness is gone, and you can look at what is left in the stable. Who knows, Xmas is coming up, right?? Maybe one of those guys is going to surprise the league.

It’s something to loose a RB, but your QB is always a bigger hit. That said, sitting at 4-5, it may be a good think that you get to evaluate your other QBs. At least you’ll know what you have before the draft next year.

…now is the time. You still have time to develop Stanzi. That said, I do believe Stanzi has better chance to become your starting QB in 2-3 years.
Palko is crap
Plus he’s left handed which makes our RT that much more important and he sucks without help, see Bronco vs Chiefs game:P

Our QB is left handed and our RT is not great in the passing game either…but he’s good at the run block, so we stopped passing :p
Gotta say that watching a team run on 3rd down and long and pretty much every play is not my type of football.
I enjoy a good running game but I also want to see a good passing attack.

I am sure the coach on the other end of this is just lovin the Haley motivation seminar
He is shouting that into his own headset. Gotta love the man
Can't really blame him
After watching some our the calls B.Muir has made as O.C i’d like to say the same thing to him.

So, did Belichick make all of his coaches sign

No
He sent them out with orders to make all conference rivals into crappy disfunctional teams within 2 years of being hired.
he is then, truly an evil genius because it's working!

NEXT!
Seriously…this guy can’t catch a break.
I saw some good flashes from Johnson in the pre-season though. He may be a serviceable 2nd or 3rd back.

Honestly, I hope this closes the era of Knowshon Moreno...
The boy can’t stay healthy and it was a wasted McDaniels first round pick…Bring in a bruiser like Trent Richardson and be done with it for a while…
How Do Guarantee Richardson Won't Be Another 1st Round RB Flop?
Moreno was highly durable in college and a can’t miss prospect. There is no guarantees in the NFL.
Moreno has had his moments
whenever we play the Chiefs at Arrowhead, one game out of 16 where he runs like a demon isn’t enough though, I will give him one last chance after he becomes healthy again

He will be decent RB depth for cheap next year, he will be back for at least the duration of his contract, I would guess.
He is a great athlete
You cant predict someones durability in the draft so I wouldnt call it a bad pick. Maybe he will come back next year bulked up. That could help.

but, if we had drafted him from rd. 2 on we would be in love with the guy...

Why do you say that?
He is completely invisible the vast majority of the time.
by thekingofjoy on Nov 14, 2011 11:23 PM MST up reply actions
I agree 100%
Moreno has been a bust. He is completely ineffective in 90% of games and is extraordinarily injury-prone. I have nothing against the guy and feel for him, but I don’t think the NFL is going to work out for him.
by thekingofjoy on Nov 14, 2011 11:22 PM MST up reply actions
Not saying he would be a starter, but he certainly has NFL talent, would be and will be
a good back-up here or for someone else. Not a first round talent, but that is not his problem but our FO. Just saying if he were drafted in, say, the 3rd round we would all be happy with him the way we are with Ball or now, Johnson. The guys on the bench always look like pro-bowlers…

I personally would still be unhappy even if he had been drafted in the 6th round. He rarely plays due to injury and when he does, he’s unproductive. Of course, he will always be judged more harshly due to his draft position, but save for those two runs in the Chiefs game prior to his injury, he’s been atrocious this year.

More Injury News
Matt Schuab may have a serious foot injury. He’s headed to Charlotte to see a foot specialist. I don’t think it’s a Dr. Rex Ryan, however.
J Johnston
So I am watching some Johnson highlights and it looks pretty much like the option we have been running lately. I think he will feel very comfortable and he could very well make some plays. Kid is FAST.
I like that he hits the hole....
Seems like a downhill runner. I’m a little nervous that Houston let him go though. Obviously Foster is a beast, but the way they run, I have to assume there is a reason this guy was available.
we'll have to sign all aspects of his personality. What were they again? Southeast Jerome, Dollah Bill, and uh the 3rd one .... EPA?

Crap
Every time this kid starts to fins a niche he gets hurt. Good luck to him. Get well soon. Hope Willis isn’t too bad.
I also hope we start throwing the ball better. And more often. The Jets will probably be more of a challenge than the Chefs.

ok
we needed to move on from moreno, anyway, and we do need a stud back to pair with willis next season. the downside is for now we lost speed to the outside and the other assets that knowshon does possess. but i’m not devastated. heal quickly mcgahee. is clady ok? we cannot afford OL injuries right now.
tebow/mcgahee/ball/johnson/larsen. in pounds that’s 235/235/220/200/243. we also have fb quinn johnson at 263, new rb xavier omon at 227, or russ hochstein at 300, if necessary. see what i’m saying? we just need to throw on 3rd-6 or more, and we can move the chains, etc. 2 td’s in the air should win most games. where is demarius?
ground and pound? 3 yards and a cloud of dust? smash-mouth, even? this team reminds me of the craig kreinzel-led ohio state buckeyes team that won the title. ugly. the more i think about it, the less i see in terms of great run defense around this pass-happy league, including ours. we may be ok
taste my blintzkrieg!
the 3-man rush is an admission of lunacy, cowardice, and defeat.
Sorry for you knowshon but this is how it goes
I think we can officially declare Kno-play a bust, I know-fo sho I do. Continually hurt, not a back that can move a pile, not fast enough in open space to break the big one, a better threat in the screen game, and a decent blocker on 3rd down does not equate to 1st round talent OR production. I sincerely hope that he is quickly cut after the end of the season and we can be done with McDaniels’ first draft mistake. It is also looking like 2010 was a complete disaster because DT is seriously not any sort of a threat receiving—ya gotta know the playbook dude. So Save for Tebow, Beadles, and Decker for sure, 2010 sucked, besides Robert Ayers (played well at his natural position this year), 2009 sucked. Thank goodness that douche McD didn’t have an opportunity to mess 2011 up!
Small
Small running backs are prone to injury. The Eric dickerson big lean back, or Jerome Bettis big fat bastard, tub of lard back is what I would scout for myself. No shelf life in a little mf ’er
