Left guard Max Garcia showed up at the Denver Broncos'
headquarters Friday with a sore left knee Cheap
Derwin James Jersey , something that initially seemed like a minor
annoyance for a team preparing for two big offensive line changes already.With
right guard Connor McGovern preparing for his first NFL start at center and
Elijah Wilkinson set to make his first pro start at right guard, Garcia went for
an MRI.The result was devastating: a torn anterior cruciate ligament.Garcia is
the third starting offensive lineman the Broncos have lost this season, joining
guard Ronald Leary (Achilles) and center Matt Paradis, who had surgery on his
broken right leg earlier this week."It's been a tough year for us O-linemen,"
left tackle Garett Bolles said. "It's a shame to see three guys that are really
close to me go down, but at the same time I know that we have guys behind them
that have stepped up to the plate and are going to smack a home run."Garcia's
injury further staggered a team that's trying to salvage a season featuring four
one-score losses, including to the league's two 9-1 teams the Rams and
Chiefs Cheap
Melvin Gordon Jersey , by a combined seven points."It was really
weird, I watched (Thursday's) practice from the last play back to the first play
and he didn't miss a down," coach Vance Joseph said. "So, the play he was
injured on, I saw it, it was kind of a slip. It was no big deal. He finished up
practice."Joseph said Billy Turner, who started four games at right tackle when
Jared Veldheer was out with a knee injury Cheap
Philip Rivers Jersey , will start at left guard Sunday when the
Broncos (3-6) visit the Los Angeles Chargers (7-2).This will mark the Broncos'
sixth different lineup on the O-line this season, but Joseph said it won't
affect the game plan."I thought leaving camp that we had the best line that
we've had around here in a while as far as depth and as far as guys who can
play" multiple positions, Joseph said. "It happens. It's football. We've got
Billy Turner playing the left guard with Eli playing the right guard along with
Mac playing the center, so I'm comfortable. Let's go play."He said recently
signed seven-year veteran center Gino Gradkowski will be active Sunday along
with rookie swing guard Sam Jones."Ain't too many guys left ," he said.Through
every combination the Broncos have run the ball with success as rookies Phillip
Lindsay and Royce Freeman have rushed for 900 yards and seven touchdowns with
veteran Devontae Booker adding 144 yards, a touchdown and a team-high 5.8-yard
average.What they've had trouble doing is protecting quarterback Case Keenum,
who has 11 touchdowns and 11 turnovers and has been sacked two dozen
times.Still Cheap
Keenan Allen Jersey , offensive coordinator Billy Musgrave has been
reluctant to reduce his use of three-receiver sets that put more pressure on the
thinning O-line.The turnstile hasn't helped Bolles, a 2017 first-rounder, refine
his raw game after playing just one season of major college football."It's been
hard having different lineups. I've had five different lineups, so it's been
frustrating," Bolles said. "But it doesn't matter who's next to me, they're
going to make me better, I'm going to make them better and you've just got to
roll with the punches and work out the kinks." Early Monday morning Drew
Kaser Jersey , it was reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the
Oakland Raiders are set to name Mike Mayock as their next general
manager.Mayock, one of the NFL Network’s most notable NFL draft analysts, is
expected to be officially announced as the next GM as early as today.Following
the Raiders 35-3 loss to the Kansas Chiefs on Sunday evening, head coach Jon
Gruden was asked about his team’s decision to bring on the longtime evaluator,
calling him a “passionate personnel man.”“He loves it,” exclaimed Gruden. “He
has done it for a long time. I know he has had opportunities to get back into
the NFL as a general manager. We will see what happens. We will see how the dust
settles.”With the Raiders possessing three picks in the first round, including
the first round selections of the Dallas Cowboys and the Chicago
Bears Cheap
Mike Williams Jersey , Mayock gets a great first draft to build on
and an excellent opportunity to put all of that experience towards building the
cloudy future of the Raiders organization. Custom Chicago Bears
