An update on the status of rookie DT Carlton Powell – When addressing the media after Friday morning’s practice, Head Coach Mike Shanahan dropped the following bomb regarding his 5th round pick:
“(The injury) happened a number of weeks ago. His Achilles popped in the offseason conditioning program, and obviously he’s out for the year.”
There you have it folks. Fifth round pick Carlton Powell will miss the 2008 season with an Achilles injury.
That’s a lot more serious than a PUP-listing. It’s a wonder the Broncos didn’t place him on IR to start. I feel like we’re a deep football team in a lot of areas; defensive tackle is not one of them. Powell would have made a difference this year.
Thanks sirsam. More notes from camp in a bit.
