Denver RBs - Injury updates? Moreno IR (1 Viewer)

[nysportsfan]

Couldn't find any information on the current RB situation in Denver. I know McGahee and Moren both went to the locker room today and Lance Ball received extensive work. I know he may lack the skills, but if he is the lone healthy back, he won't lack the opportunity.

Anyone have some insight?

Willis McGahee left Sunday's game early with a left hamstring injury and did not return, but coach John Fox said that he could have returned in an emergency.

He is by no means in the clear, but this news suggests the injury is more day-to-day than week-to-week. Knowshon Moreno's knee injury is being called a "mild sprain" and Lance Ball ran well with 30 rushes for 96 yards, but with Tim Tebow's offense relying almost exclusively on the run McGahee's presence will be encouraged.

Thanks for this

The Denver Post reports that Knowshon Moreno's knee injury is expected to keep him out of Week 11.

Moreno's injury is being called a ligament sprain, probably to either the MCL or PCL. He will undergo a Monday MRI to determine the severity. Moreno is Willis McGahee's backup, but this is notable for fantasy leaguers because McGahee strained his hamstring against the Chiefs and did not return. "I'll be all right," McGahee said. "I could have come back in in an emergency situation." Nov 13 - 7:31 PM

Next week is against the Jets. It will be very interesting to see which RB starts and how effective they can be against them since they (DEN) have virtually no passing game.

Denver running back will be placed on injured reserve after suffering knee injury vs. Chiefs. As a result, Jeremiah Johnson has been signed to the active roster.

I guess Ball will receive a bump regardless of McGahee, who may also be hurt, albeit less severely.

Willis McGahee has been medically cleared to practice on Tuesday after leaving Sunday's game with a left hamstring strain.

NFL teams playing on Thursdays have to release "hypothetical" participation reports even when they don't practice on Mondays, and McGahee was listed as a would-be "limited" participant for the Broncos today. Reports beat writer Lindsay Jones, "If McGahee’s hamstring holds up well in practice Tuesday, he will start against the Jets" on Thursday Night Football.

Keep an eye on pre-season favorite, Jeremiah Johnson.

What are you so happy about? Hamstring injuries linger with no time off. And if he plays he will split carries with Ball and Johnson so he does not make it worse. Another muddled situation. The only rb I trust on the Broncos is Tebow.

Do you know the severity of his injury? If he will already be practicing by tomorrow, I wouldnt worry about Ball taking many carries.

what makes you think that johnson plays? it's not a favorable matchup this week. hamstring injuries do linger. however, my team is decimated with injuries and mcgahee is my best flex option this week. there are probably many people in a similar situation

I hear ya in terms of injury. I wish they would let him rest one week. Hamstrings are tricky and can flare up or re aggravate during games. Owners who used Julio Jones this week got burned.
