Vance Walker injured

[Draft Crazy]

Doesn't sound appealing either.

Defensive end Vance Walker has been carted off the field with a knee injury

 

[cdumler7]

NOOOOOO!! Really hoping this is just a deep bruise or a stinger that he sits a couple of weeks. Hate this time of year only because of the risk of injury happening so often.

 

[Orange Crush77]

Damn, crossing fingers that's he's relatively ok

 

[Malibu]

Not good at all. Expected him to pick up some of the loss of Malik Jackson.

 

[SpiritOf77]

I like Vance a lot, so I hate hearing this .... I hope he'll be fine, and soon

He gets my vote for most underrated Bronco

 

[SpiritOf77]

oh crap


ENGLEWOOD—As Vance Walker was getting carted off the practice field Monday, tears filled his eyes.

He knew. The Denver Broncos’ defensive lineman didn’t need to wait for MRI exam results to understand he had suffered a serious right knee injury

Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Tough stuff for Vance.

Broncos lose starting DE Vance Walker to ACL tear

 

[randymon]

Denver was one the most fortunate teams last year avoiding serious injury bug. We're kind of spoiled in that regard. Let's just hope we get some of last year's luck going forward. Part of the game. Don't have to like it but Denver was very fortunate last season.

Sometimes?

 

[58crash]

Who is left out there ??????????????????? Dang that is 2 DL in preseason lost for year ..

 

[58crash]

Crick was a god send signing

 

[cdumler7]

Well just looking ahead a couple of names out there are...

Chris Canty--A little bit older but adds at least some depth to both the NT and DE position.

Jarius Wynn is another.

A name I wouldn't mind seeing is Jeremy Mincey. Played for us for half a season back in 2013 and has shown some glimpses of being an ok player.

Randy Starks

Henry Melton--Before his injury he was on a very good path. Maybe kick the tires and see what he has left.

Sammie Lee Hill

Those are just a few of the names right now. Then of course there will be some vets that will get cut along the way.

Just a couple of names that could get cut because of money are Kyle Williams of Buffalo or Jason Hatcher of Washington.

In house they could think about moving Sly Williams to the outside if they really like the development of Kilgo and Peko at this point. He has the ability to play inside and outside and with it being a contract year I'm sure Sly wouldn't mind more pass rushing opportunities.

Don't count out bringing back Antonio Smith either.

I will be the first to admit when we signed Vance Walker I wasn't real thrilled last year. Didn't care either way, he ended up playing a nice role for us last year and fairly important. We can overcome this, but sucks to see a guy out for the season before it even starts.
