The Denver Broncos were stomped by the Buffalo Bills 42-15 in Saturday’s preseason game, and making matters worse, three players left with injuries.
Broncos punter Sam Martin suffered an ankle injury before the game even started.
“I heard about that right before the game, that he was going to be down because of something that happened in warmups,” coach Nathaniel Hackett said after the game. “So I just have to find out more about that and evaluate it.”
If Martin has a serious injury, Corliss Waitman is the next man up to replace him at punter.
On defense, Denver cornerback Michael Ojemudia injured his elbow.
“I know his was an elbow — another dislocated elbow, so we’ll have to see,” Hackett said. “It’s kind of like the Jonas [Griffith] thing, so we’ll have to get a feel for what happens on that.”
Griffith is expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks with a dislocated elbow. Ojemudia might have a similar recovery timeline.
Finally, outside linebacker Malik Reed left the game after being poked in the eye. He said after the game that he’ll be fine.
