The hits just keep on coming for Mike Shanahan and the Denver Broncos running backs.
For the fourth time this season, Denver is expected to place a running back on injured reserve.
This time, rookie running back Ryan Torain has been lost with what is thought to be a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Torain will undergo more testing this weekend but the prognosis is not good.
The shame of it for Denver is that Torain was effective in the first half. He had 12 rushes for 68 yards (5.7 avg., 19-yard long), with one touchdown before leaving the game.
Maybe this is karma biting Skeletor in the ass for messing with fantasy owners all these years.
Selvin Young would be the guy if his groin were healed, but he re-aggravated it Thursday night. He might be a guy to stash on your roster that could help you out over the stretch run. FB Peyton Hillis got a lot of work once Torain left the game, while P.J. Pope and Cory Boyd are possibilities too.
