According to Mike Klis from the Denver Post, weak side linebacker DJ Williams will miss the next 3-4 weeks with a dislocated elbow. He suffered the injury in Saturday night's victory 23-20 against the Seattle Seahawks.

The injury happened early in the game after what looked just to be a stinger. Williams stood with his arm hanging limp while trainers tried to help him. Williams never returned to the game. Williams was heavily bandaged from his wrist up to his bicep.

The injury puts Williams in jeopardy of missing the opening Monday Night Football game against the Raiders but also the next couple weeks against Cincinnati and Tennessee.

Behind DJ on the depth chart is Wesley Woodyard but isn't the sure replacement.

We at MHR wish DJ a speedy and healthy recovery to come back.

Get well, DJ. I just hope that Bunkley’s injury isn’t a season-ender.

But man, that defense with Miller and Dumervil looked awesome tonight!

Low-cut blouses are looked down upon in this establishment.

Get better DJ and I hope you come back soon. Hey, has anybody heard anything about Bunkley?

Maybe the NFL will suspend him now for 4 games and get it over w/

Or better yet

Suspend him for 2 games, where he is injured anyway :)

If Bunkley’s injury is serious we’re in some trouble.

Nuts!

Best wishes DJ. Hope he comes back with a chip on his shoulder. and not on his elbow.

If I can't have high expectations that succeed, I''d rather have high expectations and be disappointed than have low expectations and be resigned to losing.

Luckily, WW is probably the best reserve on the team

Coulda been worse…

Nickel DEF may take a bit of a hit, because rather than DJ/WW as Nickel LBs, we have to use Mays, Haggan or a rookie…

Good thing they only have to cover for ~1.5 seconds before VonDoom eats the QB. ;-)

That stinks.....

Even after D.J. gets back, it’ll take a while for him to return to full effectiveness. Denver is much improved this year, but we don’t yet have the depth to withstand to many injuries.

Woodyard will be fine

by ConradA on Aug 28, 2011 8:06 AM MDT reply actions

This is a bummer. Woodyard is nowhere near DJ talent wise. I wish him great success though as he fills in.

GO BRONCOS.

Hopefully

after going to Church, Bunkley’s injury won’t be so serious, I kid I kid. I’ll go to Church regardless of what happens but I really hope he’s fine! If not, we’ll have to trade BQ for some stud D-tackle

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!
