Orton Out For...
 

"Open dislocation" for Kyle Orton
Posted by Mike Florio on September 1, 2009 10:29 AM ET
On the surface, the outcome made no sense. Barring some of the equipment manipulation advocated in the original version of The Longest Yard, how could Bears defensive end Adewale Ogunleye slash the finger of Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton with a gloved hand?

As it turns out, Ogunleye didn't have a razor blade in his glove. (And that's definitely a comforting thought.) Instead, Orton had a bone in his finger that was sufficiently dislocated that it sliced through the flesh, from the inside.

Per the Denver Post, it's an "open dislocation." Thus, the damage is akin to a bone-deep cut that will require extensive stitching to heal.

So Orton's status for Week One is in doubt, and this means that the roster of opening-day rookie starting quarterbacks could include not only Mark Sanchez and Matthew Stafford, but also a sixth-round pick from Fresno State named Tom Brandstater.

Best offseason ever....

Watch Brandstater impress, and end up winning the job...

My thoughts exactly! That sounds like it fugging HURTS.
Rub some dirt on it.

he could have nerve-related complications. certainly not a good thing for a quarterback.

OH wait. From Orton? It's possible that he will look better than captain lefty.

This probably helps the Broncos chances in week 1.

But now he'd be able to give himself a "stranger" without the annoying prep work.

Luckily, he has already begun practicing throws with is left hand.

Brandstater turns into the next Elway and McKid comes out of his self-made shitpile smelling like a rose.
I'd laugh so fugging hard.
(not gonna' happen, but still....)

Dave Logan (on the Broncos' radiocast) diagnosed the injury from the booth seconds after it happened.

a REAL man would have just told the trainer to cut the damn thing off at the knuckle and tape it up so he could go back in and finish the game.
