You do not want to be a Bronco right now.

Apparently the Broncos are getting injured like it's going out of style. I'm going to let the article explaining the injuries take it from here.

They lost starting defensive end Ebenezer Ekuban for the season to a torn Achilles' tendon and workhorse running back Travis Henry sprained his left knee and might not play again until the season opener.
The Achilles' tendon has always slightly bothered me, or at least the story of Achilles' has. I mean, why would his mother go to all of that trouble to make him invincible, and yet be so lazy as to not dip him once, grab the other leg, and dip again? Or make him walk in the river or something. Seriously, what the hell?

And the Broncos were ill-equipped to handle that because they had already lost right tackle Adam Meadows to a severely strained calf during the week of workouts in Dallas -- along with rookie defensive end Tim Crowder -- and left guard Ben Hamilton (concussion), left tackle Ryan Harris (back surgery) and right tackle Jacob Rogers (knee) are all ailing.

That left tight end Chad Mustard to take snaps at right tackle Saturday night.

Ouch. That's never a good thing.
