Ryan Torain status? (1 Viewer)

[T. Bagger]

I took a last round gamble on Torain just in case he comes back early and surprises. Recently I've read he's ahead of schedule and possibly at being ready around week 9, but also that he's still an IR possiblilty. Any Denver homers (or anyone else) heard anything more up to date than this?

Thanks

Ryan Torain-RB- Broncos Aug. 21 - 7:18 pm et

Rookie Ryan Torain (elbow) is reportedly healing faster than expected and the Broncos are now targeting October 20 as his return date.

That's Week 7. It's still entirely possible that he'll be held out through the club's Week 8 bye, but this puts him back on the radar as a late-round pick. It's also still possible that Torain will end up on I.R., especially if the Broncos save a roster spot for C Tom Nalen (knee). ESPN's source on this is also Torain's agent, so take it with a grain of salt. For now at least, the Broncos' plan is to keep Torain active and hope the rest of their roster stays healthy.
