From what I've heard, Mario Fannin was carted off the field today with a knee injury. There saying it's probably a sprain but he couldn't put any weight on it.

What I could find:

I think the most shocking thing in the NFL so far this year is that no team has really had a catastrophic camp injury yet. You'd think with the lockout players wouldn't be in as good of shape heading into camp as usual, but that's clearly not the case so far at least.

How much have they cut down on practices? Are they hitting as much as in previous pre seasons?
I dunno, maybe that has cut down on the injuries this year.

Or maybe it means they've been overtrained in previous years.

I've been surprised by how few injuries there have been. It will be interesting to see how this injury thing plays out as preason games start and even the early part of the regular season. Hopefully it continues to be quiet for all the teams, Broncos included.

As is his MO Moreno is now gimpy yet again as well......

I'm starting to think the #1 need in 2002 will be RB. Yeah I know it's way too early too tell but since Shanny left our running game has been injured and putrid. We need tp get some true healthy talent in for a change.....

Or that it has only been like 3 days so far.

Jeremiah Johnson is a better back than Moreno anyway.

I believe that is correct. Didnt we bring in Tatum Bell from selling cell phones at the mall to finish the season?

Yes and when we get near that number I'll worry about the wrong kind of training.

As an update, Fannin was waived by the Broncos. I know lots of folks were high on him, sorry. I'd bet the knee injury was worse than reported.

We signed CJ Gable to replace him. I'd still like to see us bring in Snelling.

He was so sought after that he cleared waivers and is on IR...
