(The Denver Post | Cyrus McCrimmon)




— The Broncos have lost backup receiver Matthew Willis for the season.
A preseason surprise, Willis was playing special teams in the game Sunday against the New York Jets when he suffered a broken foot that will require surgery to repair.
Given the impressive depth the Broncos have at receiver — top-drafted rookies Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker have struggled to get playing time ahead of Brandon Lloyd, Jabar Gaffney and Eddie Royal — it's possible the team may fill Willis' 53-man roster with a player at another position.
Then again, Royal also suffered a groin injury Sunday and his status will be iffy for the game this Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
Broncos general manager Brian Xanders also will be busy in the next 24 hours monitoring any possible deals before tomorrow's trade deadline.

I read that too (Diyural or something; unusual first name). Anyone know anything about him?

Damn, I really did like him also. Though we were loaded at WR, I really liked him. He did have a nice meaningless 4th down catch for us vs Indy. But oh well.

Looking forward to gettig him back next year. Not sure how we use him as we are in deed stacked at WR. But it is an area of strength something we do not have a lot of.

Whats the news on Eddie? Havn't heard anything about his injury yet. Btw, I typed his name in to twitter to see if any random news popped up and the 1st thing that popped up was Eddie got traded to Miami for a 2nd round pick. :lol:

Hella scared me at 1st.
