More bad news for the Denver Broncos on the injury front, as if they weren't banged up enough in their backfield, they take another hit as rookie running back Ryan Torain is out for the season with a torn ACL.
The list just goes on and on for the Broncos with injured players, they just can't seem to stay healthy. Torain will be the third running back out for the season so far along with Michael Pittman and Andre Hall. Nothing is worse than a rookie going down for the season, especially when the starter is out for the season and he has a chance at immediate playing time to prove that he can make it in this league.
Torain was doing very well before he went down with the season ending injury against the Cleveland Browns. He had 12 carries and 68 yards fitting in nicely in the Broncos running game, but in the second quarter Torain went down and didn't return to the game.
As a last resort for Mike Shanahan, he went with fullback Peyton Hillis who made a name for himself in college being the fullback for both rookie running backs Darren McFadden and Felix Jones at Arkansas.
Well who knows what Shanahan plans to do with his depleted backfield, Selvin Young is still recovering from his groin injury that has kept him out of action for three games. So expect the Broncos to be working the waiver wire looking for running backs to fill the void. Some potential backs that Denver could sign would be Tatum Bell, Mike Bell and Vernand Morency.
