Denver's injury parade continues on Friday

[Realbaddog]

Found this, and the Hit's continue:

The Denver Broncos’ rash of training camp injuries continued Friday.

The Denver Post is reporting that linebacker Jarvis Moss fractured his hand and will likely be out for two weeks. Moss stepped into the starting lineup after star pass-rusher Elvis Dumervil tore his pectoral muscle. Dumervil, who led the NFL with 17 sacks last season, is expected to be out for four months.

Moss, a very unproductive 2007 first-round draft pick, was given the chance to be the starter in Dumervil’s absence. Now this. Moss will get the chance to be ready for the regular season, however, he is a player who needs all the repetitions he can get with the first team.

Robert Ayers, a first-round pick in 2009, will now be Denver’s top pass-rusher. He was not impressive as a rookie.

Guard Chris Kuper and newly signed running back LenDale White also left practice. Kuper has an ankle injury and he is expected to miss some time. White’s situation is unknown.

Denver is the most-injured team in the NFL. Star left tackle Ryan Clady is out with a knee injury and he hopes to return in September. Top running backs Knowshon Moreno (hamstring) and Correll Buckhalter (back) were both hurt Sunday. They both should return this month.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos ensured themselves that they wouldn't lose another player to injury Sunday by canceling their practice. Their next workout isn't until Tuesday.

The Broncos have been hit by more than a dozen injuries so far, most notably Elvis Dumervil's torn chest muscle that's expected to sideline him for the season. Top draft pick Demaryius Thomas apparently injured his left foot Saturday night -- the same one he broke in predraft workouts -- and underwent further medical tests Sunday.

That tells me, his foot has not healed.

and wouldn't you know it...stolen from orangemane

Fox 31s Josina Anderson reports that Broncos WR Eric Decker suffered a left foot sprain, not left ankle sprain like previously speculated.

Anderson also reports that a pre-MRI detected evidence of a previously existing high ankle sprain. In short, when Decker went down yesterday doctors found both a pre-existing high ankle sprain in addition to a left foot sprain. What does this all mean? If the MRI confirms aggravation of Decker's previous Lisfranc fracture he'll be looking at missing extended time. Any way you cut it things don't look good for Decker.

-----------------------------

Fox 31 Denver's Josina Anderson reports that Demaryius Thomas' left foot injury is an aggravation of his pre-Combine fracture.

Sunday's tests, including a CT scan, are expected to determine whether the soreness is from "old or new damage, a combination of both, and to what extent." One source tells Anderson the initial belief is that "it's not that serious." Thomas reportedly struggled early in camp, lacking confidence in his foot. The past two days, however, he had been coming on strong, highlighted by a pair of TD catches just prior to the re-injury.

Neither the foot injury suffered by WR Demaryius Thomas nor the ankle problem incurred by WR Eric Decker are expected to result in long-term absences.

At this point, I think the effectiveness of the "$hanahan Stink Eye" can no longer be questioned.

Denver WRs are so good they don't need two feet /Knowmo

P.S. Surgeons are going to sew Dumervil's pec back on... he might be able to play in 2011 unless there's a strike or something....

aaOn Wednesday the Broncos added former Raiders running back Justin Fargas to the roster.

The Denver Broncos on Wednesday morning officially signed free-agent running back Justin Fargas.

Fargas spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Oakland Raiders, rushing for 1,009 yards and four touchdowns as recently as 2007. The University of Southern California product has a career 4.1 yards-per-carry average.

The Raiders drafted Fargas in the third round (96th overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft from the University of Southern California.

The former division rival torched the Broncos during a mid-season contest in 2007, tallying 33 carries for 146 yards and a score in a Raiders victory. In 2008, Fargas totaled 204 yards rushing in two games versus Denver.

At 6-foot-1 and 220 pounds, Fargas adds his physical running style to the Broncos backfield.

Tells me Lenwhale is not the answer, or Buckhalters back is more serious.
