Grab Gus Frerotte!
? As a followup to our followup today on Griese, ESPN's John Clayton has more.? He's reporting that backup QB Gus Frerrotte has been told he needs to be ready to play for the rest of the season.? ? Don't panic yet as it'll be a couple of days still before they know exactly what they're dealing with. But the bottom line is this seems to be getting worse by the minute. ? I'm not a?huge Frerotte fan but if he winds up starting, he'll be handed the keys to one of the more prolific offenses in the league.? Between Mike Shanahan and Offensive Coordinator Gary Kubiak, that's a great brain trust.? A healthy Terrell Davis, 2 great WRs and 3 TEs that are all effective make for a nice system. ? We'll stay on this for you. ? Joe ? ? Here's the full article from ESPN's Clayton for more detail.? http://espn.go.com/nfl/news/2000/1114/877559.html?? ? While not issuing an update on the injury Tuesday, the Denver Broncos were fearful enough of losing quarterback Brian Griese because of his separated throwing shoulder that they told backup Gus Frerotte to be ready to play the rest of the season, ESPN.com's John Clayton reported. ? Griese's injury is officially listed as a separated AC joint. The Broncos said Tuesday they aren't likely to know about their quarterback's availability for Sunday's game against San Diego until later in the week. Griese was injured in the first quarter of Denver's 27-24 win over Oakland on Monday night, but he returned to the lineup and helped engineer the victory. "We won't know for a couple of days the exact extent of the injury," coach Mike Shanahan said. "We'll wait to see how sore he is." Broncos owner Pat Bowlen said Griese could be out a "significant period of time," adding, "It looks bad." Asked after the game if he expected to play against the Chargers, Griese said, "I don't know. I can't tell you what's going to happen, what my availability will be for next week. I've never had an injury like this, but I'm going to do my best to come back and play." Griese already was playing with torn cartilage in the same shoulder, which will require off-season surgery. He insisted the two injuries are unrelated.
