Every week, it seems the Broncos lose two to three more players for a significant amount of time due to injury. This Sunday was no different. The Broncos lost running backs Andre Hall and Michael Pittman for the season on Sunday; they also lost linebacker D.J. Williams and safety Marlon McCree for three [...]

Both Andre Hall and Michael Pittman have been moved to the Injured Reserve list following Sunday’s loss to Miami, making bad news for the team continue to get worse.
Pittman, who had suffered a rib injury in the loss to the Patriots two weeks ago after appearing like he could the full time back in the [...]

Good News: Running back Ryan Torain went through a full practice, marking a likely NFL debut for this Sunday. Michael Pittman, who sat out last week’s only practice with bruised ribs, also went through a full workout. WR Eddie Royal wasn’t listed at all, indicating his previous ankle concerns are a non-issue at [...]

The bye week has always been Denver Broncos rookie running back Ryan Torain’s target week to see the football field. The elbow injury he suffered in training camp has sidelined him all season, but practicing last week was a good sign that Torain would be ready soon.
If his latest blog post is any indication, [...]

The Denver Broncos appear to be finally weaning themselves off the committee approach to running the football.
Head Coach Mike Shanahan announced on Monday that running back Michael Pittman was designated the “full time” starter for Sunday’s game, and he didn’t see any reason to change that.
“I thought Michael did a great job. He [...]

Russell suffered a sprained neck Sunday, in the fourth quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs. [...]

Wide receiver Brandon Marshall’s offseason goal of 140 catches in 2008 was well documented, as was the prohibitive difficulty of the task. Only Colts WR Marvin Harrison has had more in a single season. Marshall would have to average 8.75 catches per game to reach [...]
