NFL Rumors: Broncos Star LB Will Miss Time To Repair Knee

 

Denver Broncos star offensive linebacker Randy Gregory will reportedly undergo arthroscopic knee surgery to repair the meniscus he injured this past Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero

Gregory's timetable for return is anywhere from two to six weeks depending on how he recovers from the surgery, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter

The 29-year-old was carted off the field during the second half of Sunday's 32-23 loss. He joined the Broncos in March after signing a five-year, $70 million contract. 

Prior to taking his talents to Colorado, he played for the Dallas Cowboys since 2015 where he built a name for himself as a productive defensive back. He tallied 85 tackles, 16.5 sacks, and 19 tackles for losses as a Cowboy. 

The former second-round selection recorded nine tackles, two sacks, and seven quarterback hits in four games this season as a Bronco. 

The news adds salt to the wound for Broncos fans as starting running back Javonte Williams will reportedly miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL and LCL on Sunday.
