Courtney Brown out 3-6 weeks
Brown Injured in Morning Practice
By Andrew Mason DenverBroncos.com ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- It was a with piercing, horrifying yelp from Courtney Brown that the Broncos' relatively tranquil training camp was shattered Thursday morning. The six-year veteran defensive end will miss at least three weeks with a dislocated left elbow incurred during team drills during a morning practice session at the South Suburban Sports Dome. "The X-rays were negative," Head Coach Mike Shanahan said. "There were no breaks, so he should be out anywhere from optimistically three weeks to pessimistically four to six weeks." The injury was what defensive end Trevor Pryce termed a "freak accident." "I think a safety hit him in his elbow as he was running downfield," Pryce said. "It's one of those things that happens." Added defensive tackle Luther Elliss: "It looked like he was just going to help make the tackle and his arm just got caught between the ballcarrier and the tackler. He popped it out." Brown's teammates knew the nature of the injury immediately. "It was (scary), but I think everybody knew what happened," Pryce said. "Gerard went and looked at it, and he said, 'He dislocated his elbow.' It was out of place." |
