Danny Trevathan done for season; Brandon Marshall expected to miss 1-2 weeks

[Bootleg]

The Broncos have lost linebacker Danny Trevathan for the season after he suffered another left knee injury Sunday during a 22-10 win at San Diego.

Trevathan had suffered two separate fractures in the left knee area that forced him to miss 11 of the Broncos' first 13 games. He reinjured the knee in the second half of Sunday's game. Multiple NFL sources said Trevathan's latest left knee injury was serious enough so that he is finished for the season.

Meanwhile, Brandon Marshall, the Broncos' leading tackler this season, suffered a right midfoot sprain in the second quarter against the Chargers. Marshall said he would be out a week or two.

"It's been the year of the linebacker injury," Marshall said Monday.

Earlier this season, the Broncos lost starting middle linebacker Nate Irving to a season-ending knee injury.

With Marshall and Trevathan now down, the Broncos are expected to turn to rookies Lamin Barrow, Todd Davis and Corey Nelson.

Elway ' s drafting abilities are gonna be put to the test. Also, it's not out of the realm of possibility we sign a FA.

.....great, just what we needed

[JJBroncoFan]

Wow, bad news. Next man up.

Rushed Danny back too quickly, this sucks. The Marshall injury probably did it but we should have kept the pitch count going. Guess we get to see what Nelson, Davis, and Barrow can do

this really stinks, i feel bad for Danny...

on the other side, we have gotten along without him basically the entire year and have done well. i do remember when watching the DEN/SEA OT thinking "if we had Danny (speed) out there, RW isn't running off the edge so free."

see how are depth holds up...

Totally agree. I feel like they rushed him back too early the first time. Sunday should have been his first game back........FROM THE FIRST INJURY!!!!!! I'm really not happy with the training staff at all. These past 2 were not just "freak" chance injuries. The staff and doctors should have noticed the weakness of bone and ligaments in that area. He was not ready for all the cut blocking and leg whipping that goes on in the chaos of the front 7. Sucks, hope he'll be ready for 2015. And I appreciate his dedication to helping us get a chance to hoist that trophy

This really sucks! I was looking forward to a Trevathan/Marshall duo. Guess not.

At least Marshall will be back for the playoffs.

Don't forget S. Johnson and possibly S. Barrett being brought up from the practice squad.

Wow I am a old in football years and not in game shape but I guess I gotta go suit up.

Every team needs a pale undersized slow moving Canadian out there.


But seriously this is bad news. Really we only needed to get thm through the Chargers and bengals they they could have Rested. The Oakland will likey be meaingless if we win next week

[beastlyskronk]

The timing could not be worse. Jeremy hill is running hard

[CanDB]

This is so sad. Poor Trev, three times in one season!!! I won't go into detail about the "rushed back" scenario. I sure hope not. But you'd think team medical staff would be on top of this type of return. Why rush?

I guess it's 2015/16 for Danny. I can't imagine how frustrated he must be.

[Bterres105]

I don't know what it is about our system, but our weak side linebackers flourish in it. Props to our coaches developing these linebackers. I feel bad fur Danny, but Barrow will be just fine.

[Dennis.1960]

I was so happy to hear he was back last week...definitely disappointing. I was hoping we'd have him back for the playoffs but I guess we'll just have to make do. Next man up.

Hate seeing folks get hurt,

speedy recovery hoped for everyone.
