TE Tony Scheffler breaks his foot

Channel 4 in Denver has reported that Tight End Tony Scheffler broke his foot today (Friday 5/18/07). Scheffler is scheduled to have surgery on Monday and he will be out for 2 months.

“He’ll be fine. I know he’s a little bummed, but if there’s a positive to something like this, it’s that it happened now and not in training camp. Once the season starts, everyone will forget this even happened.”

The Sports Guru over at Mile High Report has mentioned something that I haven’t heard the mainstream media covering regarding Tony’s off-season weight gain. Scheffler told reporters this off-season that it was his decision to add weight and I think TSG is right about the coaching staff not being pleased about the extra pounds.  Scheffler is reported to have already lost 10-12 lbs of the extra weight with plans to drop another five.
