BREAKING NEWS – Jarvis Moss Carted Off, Injures Knee

The Denver Post reports that first round pick Jarvis Moss was carted off the practice field this morning with an injured knee. Coach Mike Shanahan said that he will undergo an MRI today, and that he hopes the knee is just twisted.

The injury occurred when Moss attempted a spin move on one-on-one drills this morning. He planted his leg after attempting a spin move and fell to the ground. He got up and walked to the cart, which is somewhat encouraging news, but I’m not feeling optimistic at this point.

Moss has been among the most impressive looking players in training camp thus far, repeatedly beating his opponent to the quarterback and forcing pressure. Hopefully the injury is not serious, or one of our bigger moves this offseason will not come into fruition until 2008.

UPDATE #1 – According to Khan over at Orange Mane.com.

I’m back and I’ll comment here before I get to my report. He dropped down and was carted off. He was grabbing the lower part of his knee and looked to be in a lot of pain. It’s a shame too because they released the new depth chart today and he was the second team defense end. He was tearing it up in practice. Greek said that the ligament wasn’t loose so it might be partial tear. There is still a (what I feel is next to zero) chance it could be something less severe.

After he was gone we really only got pressure up the middle. It will be more of the same this year without him: No pass rush. I’m not someone who believes that different coaches can magically make average players amazing. …
