Only thing I'm seeing is his tweet thanking fans for support, but every online source I've found on the injury is mysteriously quiet apart from what we all knew immediately after the game:
1) He hurt his ankle (to those in the know: Same one he hurt against the Raiders, or a different one? New injury or old?) 2) He didn't return to the game 3) He left the stadium in a walking boot.
So basically I don't know anything I didn't know nearly a week ago hours after it happened. For example, I know I like Mike Adams, and feel comfortable with him regaining the starting spot (truth be told, I'd rather he replaced Moore as a true FS were Ihenacho healthy,) but after that our safety depth frankly scares me, and probably makes Elway and Fox a little nervous, too, else they wouldn't have brought in an aging CB in Jammer to try and fill out the position. As usual in recent years, we're much deeper at CB than at safety (no, not another pitch for Champ to play FS—although.... :tongue:)
So, what say you, Broncos Forums, and, more importantly, what KNOW you (if anything)? Ihenacho's had a really good year so far, especially for a sophomore season; he's exciting to watch making plays and near-plays in both coverage and against the run (he almost singlehandedly saved the Colts game forcing and recovering a fumble on their end when they were running to salt away the game in the fourth.) I'd hate to lose him for any length of time, and not just because I don't want Bolden or Bruton out there if anything happens to Adams or Moore. Get well, soon, Duke; in the mean time enjoy a rest you more than earned.:salute:
