I am not confident that Boss will play the entire year. I hope we pickup some young LB when good teams prune their rosters.

Depends if it was a high ankle or low ankle sprain. High ankle sprains take a long time to recover. If the sprains not too bad, and they don't rush him, I'd hope he can back for Oakland.

Yeah, Double-W had a nice special teams hit too.
Crossing my fingers for both our injured guys...
Early word has it being the dreaded high ankle sprain.

High ankle sprain would suck but if the MRI came back negative, that usually means the major ligaments were just stretched and not torn which would put the healing time on the shorter end (4-8 weeks) rather than the longer end (6 months).

I never liked the Boss signing. He has never played well IMO and was always part of bad defenses. Not to mention seems to be nicked up a lot.

It's more the latter. Ernie Simms played on that same bad defense and he's a great player.

I've never thought and I still don't think that Boss is the answer at SLB. He's just another stopgap brought in and gets way more hype than he deserves because of his name.
Now, I understand that with so many holes on the defense you have to bring in players like this, but I don't expect Boss to be a part of this team past 2, maybe 3 at the most seasons.

Boss Bailey has been around long enough to know what type of player he is. Why would he get better just because he is in Denver. He's not a good player IMO and I bet limps around all yr.

Then I'm sorry but you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to football evaluations then.
There isn't a scout in the league who would say Boss Bailey is "not a good player". He's a solid starter on about half to 3/4ths of the teams in the NFL, an awesome backup on the rest.
He isn't a stud and he's simply average in run stopping, but he's well above average in pass protection and is an ideal nickel package LB. He's better than what we had on the strong side last year and better than what a good number of teams put out on the field every game for SLB.
He's also only had one major injury. It happened to be a torn ACL early in a season that kept him out for the entire year so his games missed number is pretty high, but the same can be said for anyone who has had a season ending injury.

well glad they are both ok. But if Bailey isnt ready to go we will have woodyard, winborn (he was great for us last year) and/or green to plug in there and do just fine.

I like how people act as though it's Boss's fault that a Texan Oline guy dove at his ankles. It has nothing to do with previous injury history, or being "weak" or "injury prone".

It cracks me up how "obvious" becomes somehow unapparent by default just because football is a "violent" game. Of course people get hurt all the time, it's the nature of the game. However, it's equally easy to see who isn't injury prone. Walter Payton was one of the most durable players of all time in arguably the most dangerous position on the field. Look how few times Marvin Harrison in on the injury report. How many consecutive games did Brett Favre start?
It's becoming obvious to me that Boss is injury prone. He had a reputation for it in Detroit and he gets hurt in the first what, 5 minutes of a pre-season game? It's unapparent to me how anyone could argue that Boss isn't obviously injured again....what is also apparent is that he has a ton of potential but you can't make the club better in the tub.

You don't get an ankle injury because you're frail or injury prone. If Boss gets another knee problem, then yeah, label him Mr. Glass. But not a sprained ankle.

We built this team with great linebackers........why do we now have to go out and buy them.......????? Woodward looks like the real deal......nice and mean.......in the right place at the right time, etc.....hope this boy can come on strong for us.........it would be wonderful to find a gem at LB as an undrafted signee............

I don't remember Bailey having a rep for being injury-prone, just sort of a soft player.
Damn, would have liked to get a look at him on more than a couple plays.

Wow you're like a real scout. I didn't realize the reason he had missed so much time was because he got injured. What a discovery you made I wondered what kept him off the field. The notion you give that he is a good SSL but stinks against the run is pretty funny considering SSL in Broncos defense doesn't play a whole lot on 3rd downs. Hey but you're a scout you already know that.
You watch he limps around all yr, not missing games maybe, just being crappy. LOL he's a solid starter on 3 out of 4 teams. Give me a break. He's way too small for the strong side. Once again Broncos will get pushed around because our SSL and our Dends are too small.

I say that because the times I watched lions he was always limping around after plays. I don't think he has had a ton of major injuries I just don't see him as a tough football player. In fact he's very soft, especially for a SSL.

That's not due to the scheme though, it's been a personnel issue. Last year, DJ and Gold were the 2 best LB's in pass coverage, so they stayed on the field in nickel situations. This year, Bailey and DJ are the better pass defenders, so they'll be on the field in those situations, making our MLB more of a two-down run defender. Bailey didn't get that contract to sit on 3rd down.

Champ's hamstring gets hurt every year and he misses games. Cut him. He's injury prone.

Drek is right. and Boss will be playing on 3rd downs in the nickel, with DJ. The mike will come out.

I was just about to post his extensive injury history dating back to his high school days which includes 3 or 4 knee blow outs in that time....but, that would be way to easy...
I like Boss, i want to see him succeed for us, but it seems the higher powers have other plans for him...Hopefully he gets back healthy quick and gets a break from the bad luck that's been dogging him for most of his carrier...

We do that and teams will just run on us on passing downs. Dj=small Boss=small Dumerville=small
I will give you that though that because Wilson was so good in pass coverage he stayed on field.
So what your saying is because our MLB is now so bad we have to leave Boss in on 3rd downs? Great.

2004 Missed the entire season after sustaining a knee injury during training camp.

MRI was for negative for Green.
Boss just had an X-ray last night. Today (Sunday) he has a MRI.

Broncos outside linebacker Boss Bailey is expected to miss the rest of the preseason with a severe ankle sprain. But there is hope, if not certainty, he will be ready for the regular-season opener Sept. 8 at Oakland.

DJ is small? 6'1" 245 for a WLB and you're calling him small? Elvis maybe, Boss possibly, but DJ...NO F'n WAY! I'll say this much, when you see #97 on the field with the rest of the team, you immediately think DLine b/c of his size. He looks bigger than Elvis or Jarvis. I was suprised to see his weight under DJ's as he looks bigger than DJ too.
He had a guy dive at his ankle. It was an unfortunate play for Boss, not illegal, just unfortunate. To continue this injury prone label due to that play is rubbish. He may be injury prone, but this ankle injury was plain and simple...bad luck.

What are you talking about dude? You always play the two best linebackers, its not a requirement that you have your inside LB there.
Size isn't everything in stopping the run. Its about being strong and playing with leverage uprfront. And using speed, athleticism, savy or strength to deal with the "wash" at the second level..
