Moreno's been having issues with his ankle all year so hopefully it's just a little bit extra spraining/swelling due to his heavy workload last night and nothing more.
DRC landed on his left shoulder but seemed to have injured his right shoulder, so I'm a little bit unsure how that happened. Either way it sucks, althought often time shoulder injuries are playable through, we could sure use Champ back right about now.
I'd guess vick will be back next week, with Moreno out and DRC a gametime decision but likely out. We'll know more today after the MRI's and press conference with JDR.

This will sound crazy, but I'm most concerned about Vickerson and DRC. Those two left in the 2nd half and IMO played as big a role to NE's 2nd half resurgence as anything. Vick/Knighton make it virtually impossible to run on the interior of Denver's defense with their size and the speed we have at LB. With regards to DRC, dude is our best cover corner and has been awesome in coverage this year. His only weakness is that he has HORRIBLE hands. They are downright awful and it showed again unfortunately as he faceplanted into the ground and hurt his shoulder. If he is out for an extended period of time, along w/ Champ, that is going to open up opposing passing games.
Really frustrating to watch champ in street clothes week after week. Seems like an unusually long recovery period for whatever issue he has.
Knowshon has been fantastic this year but this most recent injury is what Moreno is. Dude gets hurt with extended responsibility. This may be a saving grace for Ball/Hillman. They might HAVE to play now and because of that, maybe their confidence will improve. My confidence in them won't however until they stop playing like bitches putting the ball on the carpet at the most inopportune times.
