Rocky Mountain High…

Hey Football Fiends,

This season that has seen quarterbacks go down to injury at an unprecedented rate. This past weekend spelled trouble in that area for the Denver Broncos when QB Jay Cutler took a helmet to his lower leg in the first half of the Broncos 44-7 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

It was feared the Cutler had a stress fracture, but his leg is bruised not broken per his MRI results. He is not likely to practice or start this week. Cutler took over the starting job from Jake Plummer last season.

Denver’s back up QB is Patrick Ramsey, who has spent time with the Washington Redskins (2002-05), New York Jets (2006) and Denver Broncos since being drafted out of Tulane in 2002.

As Denver only kept two QBs on its 53 man roster, it is likely they will have to go after another QB if Cutler is out of action for any significant amount of time.

Losing Cutler to injury is just the latest in a long line of injuries the Broncos have had this year. Rod Smith (WR), top draft pick Jarvis Moss (DE), Ebenezer Ekuban (End), Tom Nalen (C), Ben Hamilton (G), Warrick Holdman (CB) and tight ends Stephen Alexander and Nate Jackson are all out with injuries.

It’s a safe bet that Your Gridiron Goddess will NOT be picking Denver to win this coming weekend when they face Kansas City.
