Santana_Fan Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 http://www.nfl.com/trainingcamp/story/09000d5d819891dd/article/broncos-lb-dumervil-leaves-practice-with-a-chest-injury?module=HP_headlines Denver Broncos linebacker Elvis Dumervil cut practice short Wednesday night, leaving the field holding his right arm. The Denver Post reported the injury is in his right pectoral muscle. Dumervil, the league's reigning sacks leader who signed a five-year, $58.3 million contract extension last month, didn't return to practice. The Post said Dumervil hurt his chest in a one-on-one pass drill against Tyler Polumbus, and that Dumervil will be evaluated Thursday by the team's medical staff. Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said after practice that he had no update on Dumervil. Dumervil had a team-record 17 sacks and was selected to the Pro Bowl last season.

Crushing blow for Broncos. 1 minute ago via ÜberTwitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunClintonRun26 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 For a defense that seemingly collapsed after such an amazing start, this indeed is a MASSIVE blow to Denver's success. He was honestly the only real consistent pass-rushing threat that defense had last year. Good thing he just got paid . . . because if this was his contract year he would be BLOWN.

Conn Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Wow. I have two comments. 1) I somehow totally missed him getting that huge contract extension. 2) This is a BIG blow to them. Just another reason why I think the Broncos will finish with a top 5 draft pick this season. Which, of course, McEgo will use on a complete bust/reach.

DefenderoftheStar Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Words just cant explain how this is going to hurt them while hes out. Hes a great player for them and there is no way they are replacing his production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecardiacrll Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 What do you guys think about them possibly being desperate for a pash rusher after this devistating injury and trading them Andre Carter for a 2nd. I know I know he's not worth a 2nd but desperate teams do desperate things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 It only says it's a chest injury. We should wait to see how serious it is before they declare him out for the season. Sounds more like a shoulder with his arm hanging down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's the trade they're waiting on. A DT/DE for a 2nd rounder to replace the pass rushing OLB they just lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richmond20657 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I think Carter may go to Denver for a 4th or 5th round pick if Washington and Denver were to make a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
