Broncos Injury News

Ryan Harris Out Against Steelers

Broncos HC Josh McDaniels informed the media during his Monday media gathering that RT Ryan Harris will not play against the Steelers next Monday night.  McDaniels did not have an official prognosis on Harris, only to say "he will not play Monday".

Harris reportedly injured two toes on this right foot during the Broncos 30-7 loss to Baltimore.  Harris was able to walk off the field but was later carted back to the locker room.

Tyler Polumbus filled in for Harris and will likely start in his place against Pittsburgh.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Eddie Royal will be named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for October, the National Football League informed the Broncos on Wednesday

Royal's selection as AFC Special Teams Player of the Month is the first such award of his two-year NFL career. It marks the first time in club history that the Broncos have had multiple AFC Special Teams Player of the Month winners in the same year with kicker Matt Prater also earning that award in September.

During three October games, Royal returned eight punts for 134 yards (16.8 avg.) with one touchdown (71 yds.) and five kickoffs for 158 yards (31.6 avg.) with one score (93 yds.) to total 292 return yards and two return touchdowns. He was the only player in the NFL to rank among the league's top-four players in both kickoff return average (3rd) and punt return average (4th) for the month, and his two special-teams return scores led the league in October.

On Monday Night Football at San Diego (10/19), Royal became only the 11th player in NFL history (2nd Bronco) to score a touchdown on both a kickoff (93 yds.) and punt (71 yds.) return in the same game.

A former standout at Virginia Tech University, Royal is Denver's fifth AFC Special Teams Player of the Month, which was initiated by the NFL in 1993. He joins Prater (September 2009), punter Todd Sauerbrun (October 2005), running back Reuben Droughns (September 2004) and kicker Jason Elam (November 2001) in receiving that honor.

NFL drops the 'Fine-Hammer' on Broncos/Cowboys

I guess NFL Charities is hurting for cash.  Why else would the NFL fine just about every penalty called during Sunday's game against the Cowboys

Broncos OT Ryan Clady, Cowboy's DE Anthony Spencer and 'Boys NT Jay Ratliffe were hit with fines.

From Jeff Legwold and the DP's Broncos Blog -

Broncos tackle Ryan Clady, who was fined for a chop block earlier this season, was fined $5,000 this week for un-necessary roughness during Sunday’s win over the Cowboys.

The league said Clady un-necessarily kicked an opponent during a pass play. Clady was flagged for a tripping penalty in the game.

Also, Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff was fined $7,500 for roughing Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton in the fourth quarter. Ratliff made helmet-to-helmet contact on the play.

Cowboys linebacker Anthony Spencer was also fined from the game for grabbing Orton’s facemask.

All three will have a little-smaller paychecks this month, courtesy of Uncle Roger.

So you want to be in the media, covering the Denver Broncos?  Hell, it could be any team, but for us it is all about the Broncos.  NFL Media Regulations require players to be available to the media once a week. Brandon Marshall declined requests last week, his first week back after his suspension.  Something had to give, right?

Today, it did.

Marshall met with the media for two minutes.  What happens next is chronicled by Frank Schwab of the Colorado Springs Gazette -

So, Brandon, did you have any making up to do with your teammates upon your return?

"This week, in preparing for Cleveland, it’s going to be tough and we know that," Marshall said. "We’re going to do our best to give it our best shot."

So how close are you to being back to your Pro Bowl form?

"I think Coach (Eric) Mangini is doing a great job with the guys, getting them to do what they’re supposed to do, doing their job, and it’s making it tough on opposing offenses," Marshall said.

The only time Marshall spoke directly to a question was when he said he was completely healthy. Marshall had hip surgery in the offseason and missed a couple of weeks of training camp with a hamstring injury.

"I think I was 100 percent a long time ago," Marshall said.

After a public relations staffer announced that there was one more question before the locker room was closed, Marshall decided he didn’t have time for another answer.

"All right," Marshall said, walking away after the question was done.
