Broncos linebacker reinjures his broken leg and is placed on injured reserve
Danny Trevathan broke a bone under his kneecap, recovered, then returned to the Denver Broncos’ linebacking corps for the last two games. He reinjured the knee Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J., and was placed on recallable injured reserve and will miss at least six to eight weeks.
ENGLEWOOD – Broncos linebacker Danny Trevathan’s broken leg will keep him out longer than expected.
The Broncos placed Trevathan on recallable injured reserve Tuesday. That means the team’s top tackler from last year can’t practice until Nov. 26 and isn’t eligible to play in a game until Denver will visit San Diego on Dec. 14.
Trevathan reinjured his left leg Sunday in his second game back from a broken bone under his kneecap. On Monday, Broncos’ head coach John Fox said this latest injury was to the top and side of his knee.
Trevathan’s teammates were told Monday he’d be out six weeks, about the same timeline for his first injury. Now, it’ll be eight weeks.
