Rogers questionable for Thurs

JewDago

per rotoworld: rogers didn't practice yesterday and is listed as questionable.

without him, our defense, already somewhat worn out, is screwed, especially if quinn plays like a first-time quarterback.

Usually questionable means he'll play. Unless it's Donte Stallworth.

LOL! Agree

Stallpuss doesn't play when he's probable.

good. we can ill afford to lose our best defensive player, especially against a team that loves to run like denver does.

Actually Denver is far from a rushing team this year. They are ranked 18th in rushing (105.2), but 4th in passing (268.8)....and they also have no healthy RB's. They are down to Selvin Young (who is injured) and a couple of rookies.

I am much more concerned about our pass rush and our corners.

Something to keep in mind, the Broncos haven't cracked the 20 point level in 5 straight games!!!

If Rogers does play, he will likely sit more plays than usual.

Nice thing is everyone gets 11 days to get healthy after this game.

I really believe the Broncos are gonna put up a good offensive effort in this game. Look for this to be a high scoring game. I hope the playcalling for us isnt so conservative they take us out of this game.

Broncos dealing with two more key injuries

Posted: Adam Schefter | Adam Schefter | Tags: Champ Bailey, D.J. Williams, Denver Broncos

As if they weren’t hit hard enough with injuries, the Broncos suffered two more significant ones at linebacker and safety.

D.J. Williams tore his medial collateral ligament and will be sidelined four weeks, Broncos coach Mike Shanahan confirmed Tuesday. This means that Williams and cornerback Champ Bailey, Denver’s best two defensive players, might not play at all in the month of November.

Also, veteran safety Marlon McCree suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday’s loss to Miami and will be out three to four weeks.

“Any time you lose your two (defensive) captains (Bailey and Williams), obviously it’s a setback,” Shanahan said. “(Williams) has been a great leader. He leads by example. He is not a big talker, but he practices and plays the same way—full speed all the time. He’s a playmaker, he has great speed and great tackling ability and he is just a guy who has been very consistent for us. It’s one of the reasons we signed him long term.”

Now they have lost him for short term.
