With roster decisions looming, the Broncos may have to make some tough choices about some young prospects who have shown potential in the defensive line.

The Broncos have not, at least publicly, declared Jason Hunter out for the season, despite the fact he suffered a torn triceps injury. The recovery time is at least four months, so carrying Hunter on the 53-man roster because he might be able to play in December is a difficult decision to make.

The decision is more difficult since the Broncos will also be carrying injured right guard Chris Kuper on the active roster to open the season. Kuper suffered a fractured bone in his left forearm last week and is likely looking at a recovery time closer to seven or eight weeks rather than the four to six weeks the Broncos hope to see.
