ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Midway through the first quarter of the Broncos' Week 17 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs last season, Chris Kuper lined up for his fifth play of the day.

The right guard knew his job -- he was on the back side of a running play designed for Willis McGahee.

But during the 6-yard run, Kuper ended up on the ground.

"I just kind of got pinned in between the defender and got rolled up on," he recalled. "I got hurt, but I didn't think it was as bad as it was."

I'd be amazed given the severity of his injury if he's really going to be healed in 6 months, but with his constant rehabbing and workouts, he could possibly do it. Still, I think from reading that article that Russ Hochstein is going to be starting at G, week 1.

You can now see why G David DeCastro was the Broncos #1 target in the draft -- he fell to the Steelers at #24 just before the Broncos could pick him.
