Thread: Week 2 Broncos injury news

Injury-plagued season.

Soooo we're gonna have to pretty much wait another year to get a good idea how good this Broncos team is because the amount of injuries we've accumulated over the 2 weeks is pretty devastating.

That's my thinking. I think its going to be a mediocre season again sadly. The 7-9 type. We will prob be 2- 4 by the time Lock is healthy to play. Fangio will get a pass because of the injuries this year I think as long as we are competitive all season....Losing your best player on offense and Defense as well as Lindsay for a bit, plus losing your starting QB and CB for 3-4 plus weeks...well that would be devastating for any team.

DENVER — MRI Monday may well determine whatever hopes the Broncos have of salvaging a successful season.

At stake are exams to the right throwing shoulder of starting quarterback Drew Lock and knee of No. 1 receiver Courtland Sutton. Sources tell 9NEWS there is concern that both injuries could be significant. The 0-2 Broncos could use some good news.

Lock suffered a right shoulder injury as he was tripped up on a sack, fell awkwardly and was driven to the ground by Pittsburgh edge rusher Bud Dupree midway through the first quarter of the Broncos’ 26-21 loss Sunday. Sources tell 9NEWS that Lock’s injury is in the back of the shoulder area, which fit with the diagnosis of former NFL team doctor David Chao, who after looking at the film fears the quarterback suffered either a posterior labral tear or rotator cuff contusion. Chao warns there’s no way to get a conclusive diagnosis with the MRI exam.

Best case scenario is Lock misses the next two games, but it would be much more if the MRI shows serious damage.

Mother******.

The only thing I can really hang my hat on this season and that NONE of this is normal. I'm happy to have any Broncos football at this point, but I really need to acknowledge this as a true rebuild in its second year and look at it like a preseason. Any games we win are gravy, lets get some reps for these young guys and build it right. I'm seeing some flashes and some fight, that will tide me over.

At this rate there will be 5-6 starters at the end of the year that aren't even on the team right now.

Thank God (Elway) we drafted Jeudy and Hamler.

In q throwaway year we are set up prime to land penei sewell.

Damn Sutton out for the year. I didn't like the back to back WR's and no OT this draft but its shaping up as a Brilliant move. Don't be surprised to see Cleveland come up to the active roster now.

Bolles is playing well.

We needed playmakers on offense.

It was brilliant then and brilliant now.

We've been solid with a bunch of CB's playing because of injuries to our backfield. Fangio's schemes and our safeties mask a lot of warts. But it's hard to do that with young WR's.

It sucks because Elway's brilliant draft gave us a way to have depth and add playmakers while adjusting for Fangio's scheme. It should have given us great luxuries, but now they are necessities insofar as Hamler and Jeudy being out on the field getting heavy action.

Just hold me, Doggerton. I'm so sad.
