Knowshon Moreno's Return to Practice Encouraging for Broncos

The Broncos' beleaguered running game got a boost Wednesday when starting tailback Knowshon Moreno returned to practice for the first time in two weeks.

Moreno played in the first two regular season games before straining his right hamstring in practice, apparently from overcompensating for a left hamstring injury that had sidelined him throughout the preseason. He was inactive for the Broncos' loss to Indianapolis on Sept. 26 as well as the team's 26-20 win at Tennessee on Sunday.

Moreno's status for Sunday's game at Baltimore remains uncertain. Earlier this week, coach Josh McDaniels characterized it as "hopeful."

Even when he's been healthy enough to play, Moreno hasn't had a great deal of success running the ball. He has rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns in the first two games of the season, averaging 2.8 yards on his 39 carries.

The Broncos running game has been anemic throughout the season, and even more so in the last two weeks, though their passing game has been going through the roof. Going into Sunday's Baltimore game, the Broncos have the league's top-rated passing attack, averaging 339.5 yards, and the league's least productive rushing attack, totaling 220 yards in four games. The team also is averaging a league-low 2.2 yards per carry. No other team in the league has a rushing average below 3 yards per carry.

Laurence Marony owners should rejoice that Moreno is returning. Those that were high on Maroney you can now bench him with confidence....right where he belongs.

umm that was more than the past week. Both Buckhalter and Maroney have looked like garbage so far this year. Prime for KNowshon to step back in and produce immediately. Lammey must have better weed than us ...

 

[jah2707]

But could you really start him this week at Balt? I guess if you drafted him in the 3rd like this fool you might have too.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

not really, due to some decent depth (tollbert w nice matchup, caddy) but i just like to see him back at practice. hopefully he's rested enough too..

moreno missed practice today.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

Denver Broncos starting running back Knowshon Moreno, who practiced Wednesday for the first time since injuring his hamstring Sept. 23, will sit out practice Thursday, coach Josh McDaniels told reporters."I think we're trying to make sure we make a smart decision on when he's ready, when he's not," McDaniels told the Denver Post. "Unfortunately, we can't have him out there every day at this point until he's totally healthy."If Moreno sits out against the Ravens, it will be the third consecutive game he's missed this season.Broncos running backs Correll Buckhalter and Laurence Maroney are expected to split carries against the Ravens' stingy run defense if Moreno sits out.The Associated Press contributed to this report

Knowshon Moreno takes a step back

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on October 7, 2010 3:31 PM ET

It doesn't look like running back Knowshon Moreno will return this week to try to save the pathetic Broncos rushing attack.

After being limited in practice on Wednesday, Moreno sat out Thursday's session. Coach Josh McDaniels said he was "hopeful" about Moreno earlier in the week, but now calls Moreno questionable.

"I think we're just trying to make sure we make a smart decision on when he's ready and when he's not," McDaniels said via MaxDenver.com. "Unfortunately, we can't have him out there every day until he's totally healthy."

Moreno is averaging only 2.8 yards-per-carry this year, but that easily leads the team. The Broncos are averaging 55 yards-per-week, which is worst in the NFL by 13 yards.

Injury Report

Hamstring - Missed Week 5 at Baltimore

(Updated - 10/10/10)

Fantasy Analysis

Moreno has missed three straight games with this hamstring injury, but he did practice earlier this week. Unfortunately for his Fantasy owners, with Denver's next game being against the run-stuffing Jets, he won't even be a highly-recommended Fantasy option for that game if he's cleared to play. Continue to stash Moreno away in the majority of Fantasy formats, as he could help you in the second half of the season.

(Updated 10/10/2010).

I would bench moreno with confidence this week agains the Jets lol

 

[beef]

cbs is saying he didn't practice wed. what an enigma. i don't think he's as bad as his ypc stats suggest. the denver run blocking is putrid. probably worse. but this fool just can't stay healthy.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

MODS please change the title of this thread, he did not practice and is very questionable to play this week TIA

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

Yeah the 'practices wed' was from last week (when he practiced wed) I just edited the second part, once I just saw that he didn't I came here.

Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday as Denver began preparations for a Week 6 game against the Jets. (Updated 10/13/2010).AnalysisThe Broncos said last week that Moreno should be able to return on Sunday, but this obviously isn't a good start. Moreno's hamstring is clearly still an issue and he will likely be questionable each of the next three days heading into what would be a very difficult matchup against the run-stuffing Jets. Even if he's healthy for Week 6, Moreno will not be a recommended Fantasy option because of the tough matchup.

Even if he does play I would like to meet the person that would start him against the NY Jets.

Meet me! If he's healthy it's either he or Tolbert this week. That or a last minute pickup of Mike Hart.

I blame him for my 3 -2 record. After I lose this week I will blame him and Finley

Knowshon Moreno, RB DENNews: Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno (hamstring) was back on the practice field Thursday as Denver continued preparation for its Week 6 game against the Jets. He said he feels good about returning to practice, but it's too early to gauge whether Sunday's a possibility. "I've been doing some things to test it out here and there but nothing full-go yet, so we'll see," he said. Moreno did not practice Wednesday. The Broncos said last week that Moreno should be able to return on Sunday, and if he can work out again on Friday, there is a good chance of that happening. Moreno's hamstring is clearly still an issue though, and has a very difficult matchup against the run-stuffing Jets on Sunday.Analysis: With New York on the horizon, a team the second-year back has never faced, Moreno and the rest of the backs face a tough task. The Jets are allowing 79 yards per game and have given up just one touchdown on the ground this season. He has a tough matchup and won't be 100 percent, so his touches will likely be limited. Moreno shouldn't be considered more than a low-end No. 3 RB Fantasy option for Week 6.Profile

 

[FantasyTrader]

Good timing. We get to see what he looks like against a defense you'd feel good about benching him 100% healthy anyway.

it does. I for one am leaning towards starting him if he plays, but my options aren't great behind him (BGJE, caddy, tolbert)

Broncos' Knowshon Moreno practices for second straight dayEMAILPRINTSHARESTUMBLE ITTWACKLENEWS RSSTWEETBy Brian Murphy, Friday, October 15, 2010 9:42:08 PM CDT It was three weeks ago today that Denver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno suddenly strained a hamstring during practice and instantly went from a high-upside start against the Colts to O-U-T. For the first time since, Moreno has practiced on back-to-back days. He is officially listed as questionable to play in Sunday's game versus the New York Jets, but everything sounds like Moreno will be active after participating Thursday and Friday. He has run for 111 yards on 39 carries in two games this season and has a rushing score in each.Fantasy Analysis:Sunday's game won't exactly be a "welcome back" party for Moreno. The Jets allow the fewest fantasy points to running backs. Sure, Adrian Peterson looked good against them Monday night, but consider the quality of running back. If you take out his effort, the Jets are allowing less than three yards per carry to RBs with just one rushing TD allowed all year. Moreno probably isn't completely healed and with the difficulties the Jets have had in their secondary, you should expect Denver to throw another 50 times this week. I speculate that Moreno will be sparingly. Get ready to insert him back into your lineup for week seven's matchup against the Oakland Raiders.

Knowshon Moreno Appears Ready to Go Against Jets

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- With Knowshon Moreno practicing for the second time in as many days Friday, it appears likely the Broncos tailback could play for the first time in a month Sunday against the New York Jets.

Denver fullback Spencer Larsen also practiced Friday, completing his first week of workouts with the team since missing the last two games because of a hamstring injury.

If both Moreno and Larsen are able to return for the Jets game, it would mark the first time the Broncos' backfield has been at full strength since Moreno went down in practice Sept. 23 with a strained left hamstring.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Demaryius Thomas practiced on Friday for the first time since being knocked out of last Sunday's game at Baltimore with a concussion. The Broncos' top draft pick took a devastating high-low hit that separated him from the ball and left him crumpled on the ground for several moments.

Coach Josh McDaniels said Thomas had been cleared by team doctors to resume football activities after being free of any post-concussion symptoms in the last couple of days. Barring a setback, it's likely he'll be available to play Sunday, though McDaniels said he probably won't be used to return kicks because he missed the practice repetitions earlier in the week.

Moreno, who has missed the last three games, has gotten off to a slow start, running 39 times for 111 yards, an average of 2.8 yards per carry in two games this season. He has two touchdowns.

Moreno came into the season having missed virtually all of training camp after straining his right hamstring during the first practice of the summer.

The Broncos are hopeful that the return of Moreno and Larsen, his lead blocker, will lift their struggling running attack. Moreno's backups, Correll Buckhalter and Laurence Maroney, are each averaging 1.9 yards per carry. Of players who have run the ball for Denver, quarterback Kyle Orton has compiled the best average, gaining 29 yards on 10 runs for a 2.9 yards per carry average.

With their passing game taking flight and their running game going nowhere, the Broncos have been the league's most one-dimensional -- and some might say most predictable -- team in the league.

They have the league's last-ranked running attack and the second-ranked passing attack. They're putting the ball up nearly twice as much as they're trying to run it, averaging 42.6 passes per game to 22.6 runs per game. Their passing volume is second only to Indianapolis.

In another development, there's a chance the Broncos could make a second change in as many games to their offensive line.

Rookie Zane Beadles and Ryan Harris have been alternating at right tackle all week in practice. McDaniels said Friday he'll make a decision on which one of them starts after evaluating their respective work in the team's last practice before the Jets game.

"It's a competitive situation," McDaniels said. "Zane's played a lot of football, so has Ryan. Ryan has come back from the ankle (injury) the last couple of weeks. If there's competition to be had, we're going to let it play out."

In the Baltimore game, veteran Russ Hochstein took over at left guard in place of Stanley Daniels, a first-year player who won the job coming out of training camp. McDaniels said Hochstein would remain the starter for this Sunday's game.

 

[Touchdown There]

I made the mistake of drafting him in two leagues this year. Benching him with confidence this week.
