Elvis Dumervil suffers torn pectoral muscle

[Mooche]

Elvis Dumervil has suffered a torn pectoral muscle and is out indefinitely.
It's a devastating blow for the Broncos as Dumervil will miss at least four months and there's a good chance that last year's sacks leader is out for the season. As the focal point of Denver's 3-4 defense, Dumervil was rewarded with a five-year extension just two weeks ago that will pay him $43.156 million guaranteed over the next six years. Jarvis Moss is an in-house candidate to step up at outside linebacker, but he has been wildly disappointing since being a first-round pick in 2007. Mario Haggan could also be asked to kick back outside. Aug. 5 - 11:52 am et

My goodness is this bad news for the Broncos defense. They depend on him so much to get pressure off the edge, if he is gonna miss the year.. that defense is gonna have a very tough time this year.

Dumervil
Barring a setback in his rehab, beat writer Mike Klis is hearing that Elvis Dumervil (pectoral tear) will play this season.
Klis paints a very rosy picture on the Dumervil situation, saying that "nearly everything" he's been hearing points toward the star sack artist returning. It's the first bit of positive news we've heard on Dumervil and it could mean that the Broncos came away from his surgery optimistic. It sounds like the Broncos will keep a roster spot tied up for Dumervil and hope he gets back sometime around early December. Aug. 13 - 10:06 am et

My question still remains. What week will he come back? I don't see no point in rushing him back from injury if the guy is still banged up and can only do more damage. Especially if the Broncos have no shot of making the playoffs.

They have Brian Dawkins. Weapon X never fails.
