Standard news. This stuff happens in camp and the preseason. Just hope it’s our year to avoid the injury bug long term!

I’m a little concerned about Davis, while he’s not the best player on our team we aren’t exactly deep at ILB.

Yeah that’s a tough one. I always hate seeing injury news but won’t panic just yet.

Doesn’t Davis call the signals on defense? That’s pretty important...

AJ was just saying yesterday - the best job in the NFL was starting next to Todd Davis. I hope he bounces back soon. Strnad - has been showing well.

Hamler out couple weeks.
That’s tough for the speedster

With Davis and Hamler out for a bit, rookies Strnad and Cleveland will get unexpected opportunities to see if they might have what it takes.

Gordon and Von also held out of team work with injuries. Von has an elbow and Gordon has ribs

Golden opportunity for these two, Cleveland is gonna find a role at worst on special teams, IMO. The value he offers as a role player with upside late in the draft was a great pick there for us.

Davis had the same calf injury last year in which he missed the first two games of the season.

Josey Jewell is having a nice camp.

Josey Jewell is having a nice camp.

First two games after tearing calf in July 20 2019

He will miss 6 weeks if the rehab is the same.

Hopefully Jewel improves because he was terrible the first 3 games last year

 

[Draft Crazy]

KJ Hamler is out 4 weeks. Likely will miss week 1.

Todd Davis out 2-3 weeks.

Thanks for the updates.

The Broncos pretty much control all the news coming out of camp, so when you never hear DeaShawn Hamilton's name - you figure that means something. From what I can understand the Broncos have circulated in Jeudy for slot receiver work - have played Gordon out of the slot and even Fant, but no mention of Hamilton.

But now that KJ is out 4 weeks - maybe Hamilton gets some reps. I'm not saying pros or cons on Hamilton here, but no news is news in Bronco camp.

News I saw on Hamilton was that he was having a good camp and was starting in 3 WR sets but was likely to be passed up by Hamler before his injury but I have heard he has had a good camp. Not playing special teams will hurt him though when Hamler buzzes by him on the depth chart.

Soft tissue injuries for speed guys are troublesome. I fear that Hamler will be hampered by this

 

[Orange Crush77]

It’s one of the main reasons I never conditioned myself as a speed athlete

 

[Orange Crush77]

Unless your talking about drinking, I used to be pretty good at that

Todd Davis out 2-3 weeks.

That is what they said the last time and

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos suffered what appeared to be their first serious injury of training camp Thursday when starting inside linebacker Todd Davis went down near the end of practice.

Citing multiple sources, 9NEWS was the first to report Davis suffered a left calf injury. He was taken for an MRI exam soon after practice to determine the extent of the injury.


It’s the second consecutive year Davis has suffered a significant calf injury. On July 18 in 2019 — the first day of training camp — Davis suffered a partially-torn right calf muscle. Initially thought to be a three-to-four week injury, Davis missed two months – and the first two regular-season games -- before returning in the Broncos’ third game at Green Bay.

Davis still wound up leading the team in tackles last year with a career-most 134.

Davis injured the other calf Thursday, which was the sixth day of camp practice – but a month later than last year as the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the start of NFL training camps this year.

A similar recovery time would cause Davis to miss four to six games this year. The latest calf injury seemed more severe. Davis was able to hobble off the field last year; this time he couldn’t place any weight on his left leg as he was carted off.

After Davis was helped into the trainer’s room by two medical aides, he was replaced on the No. 1 defense by Josey Jewell, who lost his starting job to Alexander Johnson last year.

Jewell, Josh Watson and Justin Strnad would likely compete for as long as Davis is sidelined.

In the final year of a three-year, $15 million contract extension he received prior to 2018, Davis has a $5 million salary scheduled to come his way this year. Although none of that money is guaranteed, Davis may be entitled to his $5 million base salary if his injury recovery extends into the season.

Davis may have suffered the most significant injury, but he wasn’t the only Broncos player to go down in recent days. Rookie receiver KJ Hamler will miss two weeks with a hamstring injury, according to head coach Vic Fangio.

as Jewel let's hope he don't make our run D as lousy as it was last year when he was in AJ being in might be key who knows.
