ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- As he stood on crutches and spoke to the media surrounding his locker on Monday afternoon, it was wholly evident that defensive Kevin Vickerson’s injured hip may have taken him off the field, but it certainly won’t keep him away from his team.
Vickerson was placed on injured reserve last week after suffering the hip injury in the Broncos’ Nov. 24 road game at New England. However, a day after the Broncos’ 35-28 win over the Chiefs in a key divisional showdown, Vickerson was back in the locker room with his teammates – and he made clear that he’ll be standing by them for the rest of the way, as well.
“These young guys on this team really need me, support-wise,” Vickerson said. “And I’m just trying to support them, too, for myself. I need them, too, so it’s a boost of my spirits just seeing the guys out, playing hard and giving effort. That’s all I can do, man, is try to give words to some young guys and try to support them the best way I can.”
