Bummer, hopefully it is not as bad as everyone who was there seems to think it appears to be. A big hit by Derrick Harvey caused the injury. Look for more information later today.

I loved what i was reading about his speed and pass-catching ability. Hope he’s alright…

Hope for the best, but got to expect the worst. Not putting any weight on his right leg at all is a bad sign.

If he’s injured for a while, does that mean he gets released? Or does he get guaranteed money or can be put on injured reserve to stay a Bronco for a while?

IR and we give him another chance next year.

That would be great, but...

Do you really think they will take that kind of chance on a UFA without even seeing him in a game?

by CH74 on Aug 5, 2011 4:23 PM MDT up reply actions

Yeah, they did it for Matthew Willis last year.

They’ve seen enough to like what he offers, he’ll be back if its a season ending injury.

This is true

Xanders sounded pretty high on him. Hopefully its not as serious as it sounds.

by CH74 on Aug 5, 2011 4:32 PM MDT up reply actions

I am hoping he is ok, cecil lammey said he was clutching his knee, never good, i really like fannin, hopefully its not bad, i think he will be a great asset to our running game he has that game changing speed.

Hang in there, Mario

I was looking forward to seeing what this kid had. Hopefully we can make it through camp without another injury bug like last year.

by CH74 on Aug 5, 2011 4:18 PM MDT reply actions

I hope we are not going to have an injury bug issue again

Does Hillis count?

dropped from the team and he hadn’t practiced because of dehydration

Oh the humanity . . .

We don’t need that again. What is it with the Broncos and Avalanche (heresy on this site, I know)? Injury plague

How do you always get "less than a minute ago" on the twitter feed

What site let’s you look like you snap that instantly?

by Sergio AppleSeed on Aug 5, 2011 4:21 PM MDT via mobile reply actions

If you go to any tweet's static website, it will show less than a minute ago because the static page is created the second a tweet is created.

Well

McGahee can show empathy for Fannin and perhaps give him tips on recovery. Again, I’m looking at the good here!

Keeping it positive...

Hoping for his speedy recovery, but looking at it from a different angle, now is time for some one else to step up and make the most out of an opportunity,anyway, How has lance ball, johnson, and minor been doing haven’t heard much bout them.

by Den97winben on Aug 5, 2011 4:27 PM MDT reply actions

johnson has apparently been looking really good.

When I tore my acl, mcl and pcl.....

I couldn’t put any weight on it at all…whenever I hear this or see it I shudder. Atleast he could grab at his leg and hopefully pull it up towards his body. If someone keeps their leg straight there is ligament damage (Or so my surgeon told me). Elway retires, I cried,Terrell gets hurt, Eddy Mac goes down….now were here. I love Denver more than life, I ’ve hurt the last fifteen years.

Bummer

Probably a knee. I hope it’s not anything thats gonna require a surgery.

Was really excited about Fannin, hopefully JJ steps up.

Very sad was at cam but at the wrong end of the field didn't get a good look at the hit. MF had been my favorite back in camp thus far.
