I can't find anything on the MRI results for the litany of players hurt vs Oakland.

Has there been anything reported in Denver on this? Seems a very slow turnaround.

Not sure but no news is probably bad news....depending on which angle you're looking at.

Supposedly, Fox will announce the results and which players are "out" for Cincinnati today but he's a coach who likes to push the boundaries against NFL policy of telling the truth about injuries so don't expect the situation to become clear until Sunday.

Dumervil will most likely be a "probable" which means he'll play. He injured his shoulder in Friday practice and presumably the MRI came back negative which was why he was allowed to play Sunday. He was limited in effectiveness during the game, but managed to play although he had to switch to LDE.

Marcus Thomas is probably "out." He's trying to come back but it might not be till week 4 if then.

Ty Warren is DEFINITELY "out." He won't play this season, and might retire. He hasn't played since January 2009. Trying to come back in 2012 is a long shot after 4 years out of the NFL.

D. Thomas is also likely "out." He is never going to be healthy so that was a totally wasted pick. Another in a long line of utter failure for McDaniels.

Moreno is likely "probable" and will probably play although he's dinged up with a groin pull and will probably be limited in his effectiveness.

Champ Bailey missed 5 or 6 games a few years ago with an achilles strain and it looks like another one of those lost seasons for Champ. The difference is that years ago the Broncos had some decent backup CBs including Foxworth who started in Champ's place. Well, he's starting for another team, so that's a HUGE loss.

Next to Ty Warren Champ's injury is the biggest blow to the team -- although he might try and play, CB is not a position where you can limp around. If you're not 100% WRs are going to blow by you.

Brandon Lloyd and Rahim Moore should be fine by Sunday. They suffered minor tweaks.

The MRI's were scheduled for today despite many reports saying yesterday. The news will hit this evening.
