Englewood (CBS4) — CBS4 Sports has learned, Denver Broncos wide receiver DeMaryius Thomas has suffered a torn achilles tendon. The extent of the injury, either a partial or full tear, is not yet known.

Sources tell CBS4 that Thomas suffered the injury during a recent offseason workout in Georgia.

The Broncos may have to look at wide receivers in the April draft if their offseason continues to go the way it has in recent weeks.

Demaryius Thomas, who just finished an injury-crossed rookie season with the Broncos has suffered either a partial, or full tear, of his Achilles tendon that will have to be surgically repaired, according to two NFL sources.

Neither Thomas, nor his agent Todd France, could immediately be reached for comment.

Thomas suffered the injury earlier this week during a workout in Atlanta, where he lives in the offseason.

A full tear of the Achilles would mean Thomas would almost certainly miss all of the 2011 season while a partial tear would still mean several months worth of recovery, but Thomas would have some possibility of returning if the Broncos wanted to have him on the active roster during his recovery.

It does mean the Broncos are suddenly short-handed at wide receiver. Eddie Royal had hip surgery since season's end and is looking at several months worth of recovery as well.

Since it happened, it's a good thing it happened early - guess the Broncos' draft board will now need to be readjusted.

Amazing, Denver can't buy a break! I'm beginning to wonder if DT will EVER be a productive WR in the NFL. Just can't stay healthy. This just opened up the entire draft, we could very well go with Green at the number two spot.

He will never recover from an injury like that at the WR position... He's done and it's time for Denver to draft a WR who isn't made of straw.

Well this is shit. But we're definitely not going to take a WR this year. We still have Lloyd, Gaffney, Decker, Royal(By the season), and Willis. This does not affect our plans at all other than forcing us to keep all of our current WRs.

4 1st round draft picks in 2 years.

Ayers - Jury is out
Tebow - Jury is out. (I think the only one who will end up succeeding)
Thomas - may or may not play again till 2012
Moreno - Jury is out.

McDaniels was CRAPPY at drafting personel.

He passed over Mathews and Orakpo to take Moreno and Ayers.

Pick a dozen other guys he passed on for Thomas...
who was not ranked high due to his being injury prone.

I'm no draft expert... but McD was supposed to be.

- one injured receiver doesn't mean the team drafted tons of injured receivers. i can think of two. who are the rest?
- why does the DT injury necessitate drafting Green? receiver is the broncos' deepest position. and if so many of you are high on decker and willis why would the team need to draft a receiver? my opinion: this doesn't alter the plan for the first three picks at all.
- this injury sucks. fortunately thomas appears to be a smart kid with a decent work ethic. he'll be back. sometime.
- why wouldn't a player tweet an injury on twitter? simple. the team told its players to limit shared information through social media. it's become standard practice.
- perhaps i missed it, but i've gone through three pages of this post and haven't read this yet: i hope he heals fast. the guy's a good kid who scored touchdowns. we should wish him well.

-We can keep hoping he gets better and comes back, short history shows he is injury prone

But, this guy was injured before we drafted him, he got injured at the start of Training Camp and again in the middle of the season and at the end.

He shouldn't even be a Bronco!!! I'm sorry I'm so pissed right now...there should've never been a debate!!! Thomas or Bryant.

He was non-existent last year so he will be non-existent this year. Who cares if he is a good kid? He's a first round draft choice who hasnt lived up to the billing. So yes, it sucks major balls from a financial and production standpoint.

6-8 Months? That sounds VERY fast for a torn achilles. Thought that was more like a year and a half, and it's more an injury you never fully recover from.

DT is done. Another poor draft pick by McD.

02-10-2011, 09:06 PM
Sorry guys!

Sounding like a broken record the curse of the glass ginas strikes again.

This is what drafting wholly and totally on character gets you! I said it when McD was making the picks, many told me I was over reacting, and I say it now.

At some point you draft football players primadonnas (Dez for this position) or not. Today's NFL requires being able to handle a new generation of player.

On DT: DT had sick speed and I always liked the flashes he showed. However, that's all they were-flashes! This kind of injury can kill his speed.

DRAFT ALL D-MR XANDERS, ELWAY, & FOX! Draft all D.

Sucks he keeps getting hurt. Love watching the guy. Luckily for him there will be no football next year and he can have lot of time to get better. The owners and players won't even meet because they are "so far apart" in their views. Isn't the whole point of the meeting to remedy that?

The players will fold. There will be football.
The lockout will be only about as long as a player pay period or two.

DT - He was injured most of his senior year...
most of his rookie season...
and now even if he is back...
he will not likely be full strength...
especially if they rush him (like Clady).

DT will have 3 years of gingerly playing no more than a little bit in any season...
I'd say he has earned the label "Injury prone".

Just bad luck for us...
we gotta move on.

Stop the crap about him being "injury prone" when he was drafted. The foot injury training for the combine was the first serious injury of his career. It may or may not have been responsible for the subsequent injuries. When you have to change your gait for some reason it puts more stress on other muscles, tendons, and ligaments. As it was he caught more passes his rookie season than Brandon Marshall did. If he is back on the field in 6 months, there is no reason he can't open the season.

I hope he is able to get healthy and back on the field. I really love his combination of explosive speed, size and strength.

as a side note, it's funny how many parallels there have been the past few years with my two favourite times, Broncos and Canucks, from losing prospects too young (Luc Bourdon for the Canucks), to getting "franchise" pieces in the most important spot (QB/Goalie) only to have them melt down when it matters most (Cutler, Luongo) to having a front office prematurely (imo) canned. And now, almost to the day that Sami Salo gets back from an offseason torn achilles tendon, this happens.

Hopefully my Canucks have a back-to-back in them pretty quick here.

back on topic, wtf has happened to our "one position with depth and talent"??

maybe Pat Bowlen sold the soul of this franchise to guarantee John his title. If so, I have to admit, it was all worth it! :salute:

the guy has suffered two serious non-contact injuries in just over a year-- that doesn't concern you?

somebody posted an article from a medical journal on the mane that said a full third of NFL athletes never come back from an achilles tear, and i certainly can't think of many (any, really) off the top of my head that's come back from a full tear and been a dominant player afterward. . . somebody name some names if you can think of them. . . i do think stokley may have come back from one, but he was never a dominant player. . . takeo spikes also, but he's never been the same. . .

Name one marquee receiver that's ever entered the league with injury after injury like this and become a stud. Zero.
DT's done and this team needs to stop overthinking draft picks. Could have had D. Jackson, could have had D. Bryant. Nice job in the draftroom, boys.

It's yet another disaster for this team--but who knows--perhaps Willis is that next stud WR anyway. Lloyd might just be Denver's Steve Smith if he's not a one-year wonder. You never know.

That is very misleading. First of all, how many of the players were "dominant" to begin with. The NFL is mainly populated by later round draft picks and free agent signees. A lot of the "one third" who didn't come back from an Achilles tear probably wouldn't have come back from broken finger. It's a ruthless machine with high turnover. Miss a couple months and someone else has taken your spot. Regardless of the reason.

somebody posted an article from a medical journal on the mane that said a full third of NFL athletes never come back from an achilles tear, and i certainly can't think of many (any, really) off the top of my head that's come back from a full tear and been a dominant player afterward. . . somebody name some names if you can think of them. . . i do think stokley may have come back from one, but he was never a dominant player. . . takeo spikes also, but he's never been the same. . .Derrick Burgess went to the pro bowl twice after tearing his achilles. Led the league in sacks in '05 with 16 two years after it happened. Not sure if one would consider him 'dominant' but recovering and being productive can happen. Best thing he had going for him was he was young when it happened. Best thing Thomas has going for him hopefully. Seems most of the tears that happen happens to older players later in their careers making the comeback that much more difficult. It'll be interesting to see how DeMeco Ryans comes back from his as well as Demaryius. But you're right, there's not many.

Splitting the difference on the 6 to 8 months has BayBay coming back in early September. Meaning he would probably miss a couple games at least getting in game shape.

robert ethan
02-11-2011, 01:15 AM
On the bright side, this may give BayBay the time off his feet to fully heal the other injuries that troubled him this past year. I imagine he will be completely off his feet for awhile and not doing any strenuous activities for at least a couple of months. If he doesn't go crazy in the meanwhile he may come out of it for the better.

Sorry guys!

Sounding like a broken record the curse of the glass ginas strikes again.

This is what drafting wholly and totally on character gets you! I said it when McD was making the picks, many told me I was over reacting, and I say it now.

At some point you draft football players primadonnas (Dez for this position) or not. Today's NFL requires being able to handle a new generation of player.

On DT: DT had sick speed and I always liked the flashes he showed. However, that's all they were-flashes! This kind of injury can kill his speed.

DRAFT ALL D-MR XANDERS, ELWAY, & FOX! Draft all D.

In the context of last year's draft though, drafting Dez would've been very difficult inasmuch as we would essentially be swapping Marshall for a rawer player with baggage. Also, the general consensus was that Thomas had more upside than Bryant. I'm worried about the guy now, but I hope he can make it back against the odds. On the plus side, hopefully we'll get to see more Decker and Willis.

Wow, this place is a fountain of misinformation.:confused: Lloyd was cut by NOBODY. He started out in San Fran, was their leading wide receiver for 2 seasons, then Washington TRADED a 3rd and 4th round pick for him. To give some perspective, Randy Moss was traded for a 4th rounder alone to New England, and a 3rd rounder alone to Minnesota. In the prime of his career. When Lloyd's contract with the Redskins ran out he signed with Denver.

leading wr is not saying much when your best year was less than 50 catches and less than 800 yds. And he was ran out of san fransico and traded because he was a cancer.

Lloyd was a restricted free agent for the 49ers, who drafted him in the third round three years ago. He was San Francisco's top receiver last season, catching 48 passes for 733 yards and five touchdowns for the NFL's worst offense, but alienated teammates and clashed with Mike Nolan's new coaching staff

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2364444

and you are wrong he was cut by the Redskins

Wide receiver Brandon Lloyd was released by the Washington Redskins on Tuesday, ending his disappointing stay with the team.

Lloyd caught only 25 passes with no touchdowns in two seasons with the Redskins.

His totals were two catches for 14 yards last season, when he broke his collarbone in November. By then, he had already fallen out of favor with the team because of his work ethic and lack of productivity.

No one thought he was "injury prone" prior to the draft. They thought he was injured. Which he was. The risk was considered to be the fact that they couldn't see him work out. But it was the first serious injury of his football career to that point. Plus it was a broken bone, not some sort of congenital defect or a knee that had multiple surgeries or anything like that. There were lots of players taken in the draft with more of an injury history than Thomas. Including Sam Bradford the first player taken. Bradford had twice seriously injured his THROWING SHOULDER in the year prior to the draft. Also had surgery and missed most of the previous season. Jermaine Gresham and Rob Gronkowski both missed their entire draft year due to injury. Gronkowski with what was thought by some to be a congenital defect. Compared to those guys, just to name a few, Thomas had been the picture of health as a football player. It's revisionist history to try to say now that BayBay was considered "injury prone" prior to the draft.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas underwent surgery Monday on his torn Achilles' tendon, an injury he sustained during off-season workouts in Atlanta last week.

Thomas' recovery will take at least six months and, depending on the severity of the injury, he could miss all of next season.

"Heading to surgery this morning.. everyone keep me in prAyers that it goes well," Thomas tweeted Monday morning.

Earlier, he tweeted about his mother and grandmother, who have been incarcerated on drug charges since he was 12: "Only if i had my mother and granny here with me, stuff would be so different."

damn. this is the overreaction thread. a few thoughts/reations from this thread:
- one injured receiver doesn't mean the team drafted tons of injured receivers. i can think of two. who are the rest?
- why does the DT injury necessitate drafting Green? receiver is the broncos' deepest position. and if so many of you are high on decker and willis why would the team need to draft a receiver? my opinion: this doesn't alter the plan for the first three picks at all.
- this injury sucks. fortunately thomas appears to be a smart kid with a decent work ethic. he'll be back. sometime.
- why wouldn't a player tweet an injury on twitter? simple. the team told its players to limit shared information through social media. it's become standard practice.
- perhaps i missed it, but i've gone through three pages of this post and haven't read this yet: i hope he heals fast. the guy's a good kid who scored touchdowns. we should wish him well.

Great post. Especially the last sentence

Starting wonder if the fans here are more ME or I than even the most selfish than even Marshall or jay.
More worries about the season than the players.

Thomas caught more passes as a rookie than Marshall did. Not to mention his kick return work.

Who the **** mentioned Brandon Marshall.

And the 2 passes more than he caught was negated by the fact that he played in less than 6 less games.

BTW, they had the same TDs and Marshall had more yards.


Good post.

He was non-existent last year so he will be non-existent this year. Who cares if he is a good kid? He's a first round draft choice who hasnt lived up to the billing. So yes, it sucks major balls from a financial and production standpoint.

Guess Joshes guys are getting held ro a WAY different standard that the prior 14 years.

I guess I should have expected that.

As a general rule these type injuries heel better than the unit was before.

I would guess that he. Will Be PUP all year and will be a real stud in 12.

Moat WR are not worth a crap till year 3 anyway.

No big deal.

you guys all do remember that dez missed most of training camp with injury, and ended the year on IR, right?

granted, he also made more plays than DT when he was healthy, but don't forget reports that he was such a pain in the ass that some of the cowboys front office people were already prepared to listen to trade offers for him by the end of the season-- playmaking ability notwithstanding. . .

i'm not the slightest, tiniest bit sad we passed on him. . . if anything, i'm still disappointed we didn't get brian bulaga or lamarr houston in that range. . .

Good post. Everyone seems to think every player has to be an all pro can't miss player.

They also forget that the drafts are crap shoots.

Brandon Lloyd only wishes he was on Brandon's status. I like how so many people jump on someone who's been a failure his 8 years in the NFL getting cut by 3 different teams and all of a sudden is this great player. :lol: Let us know when teams are constantly putting up game plans to stop you and they still can't stop you. Let me know when Lloyd is throwing would be tacklers to the house, beating 4 guys, and taking a 25 yd pass for a 50 yd td.

And how many times did BM do that.

Are you his pressagent or cousin.

I guess yo forgot about him missing games be UAE he was suspended and had the 8 weeker just a police report away.

Absolutely amaZe me about how anyone could live with a threat such as that eVery year.

I think you know men netter than that. While inhabit not taken the time to research it those NFL players over the past folios of years that I have heard of came back stronger than before.

Have Been in doctors offices most of the day but iirc our own stokely had this issue and for his age came back better strength than before.

Yes we cut him, but then we have more WRs than we know what to do with.

I for one wrote him off when it was reported. Then read up to find out that arhat injury is not a career nor that it used to be.

Someone of his age I thought is was done. Iirc he was povitol on getting SEA to the playoffs.

DT is a your stud that should heal better than old man BS

If he does not then please
By all means crow about it after th fact.

more importantly is the 11 tds scored for the broncos within the ten yard line...a place we surely struggled last season...not aLONE THE 18 TOTAL REDZONE TDS FROM HIM
