Especially Fisher who suffered an Achilles injury at the worst time. He suffered it in the 4th quarter of the AFCCG in a game whose outcome was all but decided. [Reply]

None of your guys missed more than four games in a season.
So you would expect most of a team's stars to miss more than 4 games in the span of a few years.
Spoken like a fan of a franchise full of brokedicks. :-)
Having good training/conditioning programs is part of being a good franchise.
How many true stars have missed extended time for Denver in recent years, btw? [Reply]
How many true stars have missed extended time for Denver in recent years, anyway?
Chubb, Von, and Sutton all have had season ending injuries in the first month of a season.
Jerry Jeudy missed 6 games last year and was never truly the same after he came back. Two weeks after Jeudy hurt his ankle KJ Hamler tore his ACL and missed the final 14 games.
Last year, our two starting ILB's (Josey Jewell and Alexander Johnson) each suffered season ending injuries in the first month of the season.
In 2020 it was our secondary that couldn't stop getting injured.
This year isn't starting off great with Josey Jewell, Simmons, and Quinn Meinerz all expected to miss multiple weeks. [Reply]

So your GM by committee approach the last few years all agree on drafting injury prone players? At least you have consistent thinking in some regard. It’s not much, but it’s a start. [Reply]

Seems like the Broncos lack depth. They need to get better at hitting on the draft and secondary free agents to fill that void of talent. Teams like the Chiefs generally are able to fill those holes. [Reply]

Sounds like your team needs a better conditioning program and better trainers. :-) [Reply]
Part of evaluating prospects and free agents is staying away from brokedicks and small little shits like KJ Hamler that just look fragile.
The Chiefs have a huge hole at RT that probably wouldn't be so bad if Lucas Niang weren't always hurt. CEH's injuries have clearly impacted his first 2 seasons.
Look at your RT situation. You all signed a brokedick and he was of course on the sideline for MNF.
You signed Gregory who for reasons beyond just injuries can't seem to stay on the field. [Reply]
