Orton relieves ineffective Simms

Source (CBSSports.com) (QB - den) | 0 comments.

News: The Broncos started backup QB Chris Simms against the Chargers in Week 11, but after three fruitless drives led to a 13-0 deficit, Denver coach Josh McDaniels summoned starting QB Kyle Orton, who hadn't practiced all week because of an ankle injury but threw well enough in warm-ups to give it a go. Orton, who finished 15 of 29 for 171 yards and an interception while playing almost exclusively out of the shotgun, said he had no setbacks and would be able to practice this week and start Thursday night against the Giants.

Surprise starter Orton has day to forget

Source (fanball.com) (QB - den) | 0 comments.

After being named the last-second starter on Sunday, an injured Kyle Orton stunk it up against the Chargers in a crucial NFC West game, completing just 15-of-29 passes for 171 yards and an interception.

Our View: Denver's desperation gambit did not pay off, and a free-falling Broncos team may have to consider letting Orton recuperate to 100 percent before running him out there again.

Kyle Orton (ankle) is not expected to play against San Diego, according to the NFL Network.

Our View: Orton did not practice this week and is listed as questionable on the official injury report. This is an late game, so Orton's playing status might not be known until later this afternoon. But it's not a good sign that he didn't take any first-team repetitions this week.

Orton doesn't look good for Sunday

Source (CBSSports.com) (QB - den) | 0 comments.

News: Kyle Orton missed a third consecutive practice Friday because of a sprained left ankle and has only an outside chance of playing Sunday when the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers meet with first place in the AFC West on the line. Broncos backup Chris Simms again took first-team practice repetitions, as he has all week in the absence of Orton, who was injured during last week's 27-17 loss at Washington. This would be Simms' first start since 2006. Listed as questionable, Orton will be put through a workout before Sunday's game and how he performs will determine whether he plays, coach Josh McDaniels said Friday. "If Kyle is completely able to do what we're going to ask him to do in the game plan, and can do it at a level that allows us to be successful, then we could give him an opportunity to play," McDaniels said. "If he's not capable of playing at that level, or doing some of the things that we need him to be able to do, then you go with the guy who practiced." [...]

Kyle Orton (ankle) is not practicing in Broncos practice on Friday, but still has a definite chance of playing on Sunday, according to the Denver Post.

Our View: "Absolutely" was the word used by head coach Josh McDaniels when asked if Orton, who is officially listed as questionable, may be able to play on Sunday. With this game, against the Chargers, being for pretty much all the marbles in the NFC West, expect Orton to at least begin the game as Denver's quarterback.

News: Chris Simms was taking snaps with the Broncos' starters again Thursday. That makes it increasingly likely that Simms will start against San Diego on Sunday in place of Kyle Orton, who sprained his left ankle last week against Washington. Coach Josh McDaniels said Orton was feeling better, but Simms was the one under center during the portion of practice open to the media Thursday. Orton hasn't started a game since Sept. 24, 2006, when he played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was battered so badly by the Carolina Panthers that he needed emergency surgery to remove his spleen.

It sounds as though Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton is going to try to rush back from his left ankle injury. That could be a little dangerous. Last season in Chicago, Orton rushed back from a high ankle sprain in his right leg, but his accuracy and mobility fell off after his return. This ankle injury isn't as bad because it's not on his plant foot and it's not believed to be a high ankle sprain. Still, if he does play -- Orton didn't practice Wednesday -- he might not be as effective as he was...

Top

Source rotoworld.com. November 24, 2009, 4:01 am ( QB - den)

Status: Questionable. Likely will play
Kyle Orton (ankle) participated in Broncos practice Monday. Chris Simms got the start in Week 11, but was yanked after completing just 2-of-4 attempts for 10 yards. Orton came on to throw for 171 yards, no TDs, and a pick. Despite ligament damage in his ankle, Orton is being pushed to start against the Giants on Thanksgiving Day. He'd be a very poor QB1 play.
