Klis says Fowler will be "out a while", but no timetable has been officially listed.
It's a tough blow for Fowler who has been having a strong summer and seemed like the front-runner to be the Broncos number three wide receiver. This injury figures to keep him out at least a month, possibly up to 6 weeks to be fully healthy.
This opens up an opportunity for Cody Latimer and Jordan Taylor to push for that job and likely make the roster with Fowler sidelined for a bit.
