Warrick Holdman to be Released

Breaking news – according to the Denver Post, injured linebacker Warrick Holdman will be waived before he earns his scheduled roster bonus next week. The move comes in the wake of his recent spinal cord concussion last week, and the further diagnosis of him missing the next 3 months as he rehabs from the injury.

Details are finally coming in, and apparently Holdman was still feeling some tingling in his extremeties. Upon further tests, it looks like there is a bruise on his spinal column.

Holdman’s career as a Bronco seems to be over before it ever began. It’s unfortunate, as Holdman was slated to be the starter at strongside before the injury, and looked promising to be an impact player on the field.

With the knee injury of Eddie Moore that led to his release, the Broncos will count on competition between Louis Green (who is fighting knee issues of his own), Nate Webster and D.D. Lewis to determine our SAM backer for the first few weeks of the season.

Best of luck to Holdman on a recovery, whether it’s with Denver or elsewhere.
