MOSS (NOT THAT ONE) INJURES KNEE

The AP reports that Broncos defensive end Jarvis Moss, the team's first-round pick in the 2007 draft, suffered a knee injury during one-on-one drills and was taken for evaluation.

Bill Williamson of the Denver Post reports that Moss was carted off of the field. Writes Williamson: "The pass-rushing defensive end was injured in an individual pass-rushing drill. He attempted a spin move, planted his leg, then fell to the ground. He got to his feet, but was assisted to the cart."

Moss, who played college football for Florida and was a force in the team's shellacking of the Ohio State Buckeyes in the national championship game, was the 17th overall selection in the April draft.

Travis Henry

Brandon Marshall
Brandon Stokely
Rod Smith
Domenik Hixon
Javon Walker
Warrick Holdman
Jarvis Moss

But...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos first-round draft pick Jarvis Moss injured his left knee during 1-on-1 pass-rush drills Monday and was taken off the field for medical tests.

The Broncos were awaiting results of an MRI exam and holding out hope he wasn't seriously hurt. Early indications were that it was not serious, ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reported.

"They really don't know, they think it's a twist," coach Mike Shanahan said between practices. "It's not loose right now, which is a good sign. But until you look at that MRI, you're not really sure."

The 6-foot-6, 265-pound defensive end from Florida was drafted with the 17th overall pick to provide Denver with some much-needed help rushing the passer. He signed a five-year, $18 million deal on July 28.

Moss was injured when he did an inside spin move past offensive tackle Jacob Rogers. He began hopping on one leg before crumpling to the grass and stayed down for five minutes before getting up and walking gingerly to the sideline, his right leg stiff. He got into a cart and was taken inside team headquarters.

It appeared that Moss got hurt when he planted his left leg in the grass and not by banging into Rogers.

"I didn't witness anything," Rogers said. "I was doing 1-on-1s against him and I turned around and saw he was hurt. He planted his foot and spun on the inside. I don't know what happened, how he got hurt. He just spun and got hurt."

Moss was one of three defensive ends the Broncos had their eyes on during the draft. They moved up to select him with the 17th pick, then took two more defensive linemen, second-rounder Tim Crowder from Texas and fourth-rounder Marcus Thomas from Florida.

This was the second big scare for the Broncos in less than a week. On Thursday, linebacker Warrick Holdman suffered a spinal cord concussion during practice and was hospitalized overnight. He hasn't been cleared to return to practice.[/b]

Doesn't sound too serious, but these injuries need to stop

if it's a sprained ligament it could hamper him all season. Happened to Kendrell Bell out in Pitt after his stellar rookie season.

Camp Day 8: Afternoon Report
August 6th, 2007 - 6:04pm by Andrew
The first sign of good news regarding Jarvis Moss’ left-knee MRI examination came when onlookers at Broncos practice first received a glimpse of him at the afternoon practice — standing upright, with only a wrapped bandage covering his knee.

As it turned out, not only was the MRI on Moss’ left knee negative, but the first-round pick left open the door for actually participating in Tuesday morning’s practice — something that would be a staggering sight to anyone who witnessed Moss’ tumble to the ground and heard his anguished yells halfway through Monday morning’s practices.

“Everything checked out,” Moss said. “It kind of scared me for a minute. I felt like it was something real serious, but I’m fine. I’m going to go rehab tonight, and hopefully I’m ready to go in the morning.”

Moss was nevertheless uncertain about his status until the MRI took place.

“I didn’t know,” he said. “I was just waiting for the results to come back. But right now I’m fine, and hopefully I’ll feel better in the morning.”

The injury itself was typical for someone at his position.

“It felt like my cleat got stuck in the ground,” Moss said. “I did a spin move and my cleat was stuck, and I twisted it and didn’t know what was going on. I’ll be in the training room all night, and hopefully I’ll be ready to go in the morning.”

More on the practice shortly …[/b]

looks like it was just a sprain..but he should rest it for a few days just to be safe.
