Derrek Tuszka Coach kind of touched on this he needs to build strength ... I guess we will see if the Broncos think that is possible with him sometime tomorrow.

I will be pulling for him and Hollins to find our practice Squad .. No preseason hurt some players heck you figure some really don't get much of a look with the way NFL teams practice. they should have made an expanded roster of 5 you could put straight to the practice Scaude no one can poach unless you cut them from the squad.

Thanks

I hope he finds his groove and starts stealing a pass from other team .. I will be pulling for him.

I have not heard on the NFL’s decision on travel for games. At one time there was talk of traveling on game day to limit exposure. Has anyone heard if this is the process for this year?

That would be crazy.

There's enough hotel space to social distance and cheap rates too.

Josey Jewell no longer Pipped after Broncos linebacker gets job back
Todd Davis' release cleared path for Jewell, who had team-most 14 tackles in Broncos' opening game last year.

DENVER — Josey Jewell has been on both sides of the Wally Pipp phenomenon.

Last season, Jewell not only was the Broncos’ starting inside linebacker in their season opener against the Oakland Raiders, he led his team with a whopping 14 tackles.

But then came a hamstring injury that Jewell initially tried to play through. Todd Davis returned at linebacker for Game 3 and then Jewell was forced to miss Game 4 because of the hamstring. Alexander Johnson started Game 5 and Jewell was pretty much a special teamer the rest of the season.


Jewell finally got his starting job back after the Broncos released Davis on Friday.

"It’s not something you really want to do," Jewell said Friday night when asked about losing his job because of injury. “In college and in high school, that’s kind of how I got on the field. When somebody else got hurt, I came up and I took their spot. I’ve seen it before.

"That’s why health is so important in this game. Being able to stay injury free is one of the biggest things. It was unfortunate that it had to happen last year, but I’m excited for this year and what’s to come."

Wally Pipp was the New York Yankees’ first baseman until, as the story goes, he had a headache and couldn’t play one day in 1925. He was replaced by Lou Gehrig, who played in the next 2,130 consecutive games over 14 seasons.

Pipp was traded after that season to the Reds, where he did play three more years. Jewell got to stay with the Broncos to get his job back. Johnson will be the Broncos’ three-down linebacker with Jewell playing on run downs and coming off in favor of Mark Barron in sub packages.

"You never want to see a guy—one of your better friends—get cut or anything like that,’’ said Jewell, a Broncos’ fourth-round pick out of Iowa in 2018. “If it does happen, you want to step up to the plate and you want to be able to do the best you can.

"That’s what I’m going to do, and I know he would want that for me. He’s a great guy no matter what it is. I’m just going to go out there and give it my best and see what happens."

Martin is a decent punter we signed him in free agency from the Lions.

Good article. Josey is much better then many Bronco fans think. Not calling him special but very valueable. I think people often forget he played on a bummer ankle all last season after the first week of the season.
