The Denver Broncos appear to have dodged a potentially serious setback, with a Sunday examination of starting tailback Travis Henry's left knee indicating no significant structural damage.
Henry left Saturday night's preseason game at Dallas in the second quarter with the knee injury. Coach Mike Shanahan said after the game that the early assessment was that Henry suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament, and a subsequent MRI exam verified that.
It is not known how long Henry, who is in his first season with the Broncos, will be sidelined. But the Broncos, who have had a different leading rusher in each of the past four seasons, and in five of the last six years, likely will err on the side of caution. The Broncos feel that Henry will register big numbers running behind a blocking scheme that really fits his skills-set well.
In two preseason games, playing sparingly, Henry has carried 15 times for 52 yards, and has demonstrated his ability to adapt to the zone-blocking system that Denver has employed for years. Henry is a one-cut runner and, with more latitude in choosing his holes, some feel he will post a career-best year in 2007.
His current career best came in 2002, when he rushed for 1,438 yards while playing for the Buffalo Bills.
Henry, 28, signed a five-year contract with the Broncos in early March, just days after the Tennessee Titans released him for salary cap considerations and to avoid paying him an $8.3 million roster bonus. The deal in Denver included $12 million in guarantees.
At the time of the signing, it was widely believed that Henry would become the latest beneficiary of a running game design that systematically churns out 1,000-yard rushers. That belief was only fortified in minicamps and training camp.
During the 12-year stewardship of Shanahan, the Broncos ranked in the top 10 in rushing offense leaguewide in all but one season. That includes rating in the top five on nine occasions. The Broncos were eighth in the NFL in rushing offense in 2006, their lowest finish since 2001.
Henry resurrected his career in 2006 by winning the Titans' starting tailback job early in the season, then posting his third 1,000-yard rushing year. He carried 270 times for 1,211 yards and seven touchdowns in 2006, and notched six 100-yard outings.
The former University of Tennessee standout spent the first four years of his career with the Bills before being traded to the Titans in 2005.
In 78 games, including 62 starts, Henry has carried 1,321 times for 5,395 yards and 34 touchdowns. He also has 134 receptions for 886 yards and two scores.
This deserved its own thread imo
And, the original post is pretty asinine even excusing the misspelling.
